Not normal Facebook, that is, but rather a business version of the social networking service called "Workplace by Facebook". Countdown internal communications manager Daniel Chasemore said a trial had shown Workplace by Facebook could bring its 18,000 staff closer together. Facebook is making Workplace by Facebook generally available to companies around the world from Tuesday. Facebook Workplace Asia-Pacific head Rameesh Gopalkrishna said Countdown was one of about 1000 companies around the world that had been trialling Workplace by Facebook ahead of its official launch.
