Cubeless is a fun and easy-to-use corporate social network platform which provides a virtual water cooler for employees to share information, jokes, insight and to connect on a personal level even if they are miles apart. The platform is revolves around questions – employees asking and answering questions from/for each other, but adds fun features to keep them coming back.
Once an employee has logged in, they see the ‘Hub’ or an overview of everything that is currently going on in the community:
- Latest Community Question – Lists the last question asked by anyone from the company.
- Recent Notes from friends/coworkers (to the employee) – Peers can leave notes for each employee.
- Hot Topics – By tag cloud.
- Watch List – Questions an employee wants to track.
- Ask a Question – Employees are able to ask a question right from the first page.
- Explore Profiles – Pictures of other employees with links to learn more about them.
- Questions With New Answers – A list of questions that have new answers.
- Referred Questions – Questions that have been referred to the employee to answer. This allows people to get a question answered by the person who knows best.
- Questions I Can Help Answer – Questions the employee has selected as ones they can help answer.
- Latest Picks – Restaurants, Companies, Attractions, etc. other employees have recommended to each – a fun way for employees to find new places to eat or meet.
- Who is Online Now? – Who else is on the community right now.
- Company Stream – List of last 20-24 actions any employee has done on the community.
Just like many social networking platforms, Cubeless allows employees to create their own profile with picture, blog, and join groups. But as an employee asks and answers more questions, visits the sites regularly and contributes, she gains Karma points. This is a fun way to encourage employees to continue to use the network and to interact with each other. Cubeless may be a great alternative to the bland Intranet/Portal solutions out there if you just need a place for your employees to share information and learn from each other or if you have employees who do not all work in the same location.
