RRD Buzz is a global employee communication platform that’s available via mobile app and desktop. This platform serves as a digital experience that keeps RRD employees up to date on company news and announcements and connects employees to what is happening around RRD. Using RRD Buzz is completely voluntary and is not expected or required for you to perform your job duties. It does not replace other tools or methods for delivering essential communications.

Anyone who is an RRD employee can access RRD Buzz. Wherever you are in the company, whatever role, location, department or country, you can connect on the app - anytime, anywhere.

Yes, using RRD Buzz is completely voluntary and is not necessary for the performance of your job duties or responsibilities as an RRD employee.

No, using RRD Buzz is voluntary and is not necessary for the performance of your job duties or responsibilities as an RRD employee; as such, time spent on RRD Buzz is not considered compensable work hours. Further, because use of RRD Buzz is completely voluntary and not necessary for the performance of job duties or responsibilities as an RRD employee, and because RRD Buzz app’s data usage is minimal, there will be no stipend, reimbursement, or compensation for using it.

RRD Buzz does not replace other tools or methods for delivering essential communications. Business critical communications will still be shared via email and through management. Plant leaders are encouraged to continue to print out and post company communications.

All company policies and safety protocols regarding use of mobile devices at work apply. If your role prohibits use of a cell phone on the job, you can’t access RRD Buzz. However, you’re encouraged to catch up on the app while on break. If your role allows for use of technology during work hours, you can access RRD Buzz during regular hours.

The entire purpose of RRD Buzz is to connect all colleagues to each other and the organization. As topics are built out, you can join areas of interest with colleagues and create communities to build upon RRD’s culture. As well, it enables you to seamlessly access emails from Corporate Communications, and stay up to date on the latest company news, events, cultural celebrations, and announcements. The more you engage with the platform, the more value you will get out of it.

We encourage you to engage in the RRD Buzz community! You can get involved by reacting to posts with likes, posting photos and articles, showcasing company pride, answering polls, and more. As RRD Buzz grows, we will add more features and ways to interact with content.

From the start, there will be three topic channels open for shared content. Of note, RRD Buzz is accessible and open to all RRD employees. With that in mind, posts will be public to the entire audience and are not confidential.

1. Employee Appreciation - Channel for recognizing your colleagues
2. Window into RRD - Happenings around RRD, team celebrations & holidays, company history, awards, RRD pride
3. Diversity Equity & Inclusion - cultural events, celebrations of holidays and heritage, sharing of information to great greater understanding and bring together employees of all backgrounds

Video: You’re sharing a video file or video link. A video link will auto-generate content
Video posts are some of the most engaging content you can publish. The video upload tool can handle up to 500 MB, and a variety of video formats (MP4, MOV, etc.), but it’s recommended to use smaller videos if possible. The smaller the video file size, the more friendly your post will be to slower data connections.

Image: You’re sharing an image file and short text. You’d like to write your own content
Image posts are ideal for very visual content. The text is downplayed and the image is treated as front and center. Image posts are almost as engaging as videos.

Note: You’re sharing short text and have no supporting assets
Notes are one of the quickest posts to create. Note posts are perfect for quick, text-only updates, like announcements or quotes. When creating a note, you can select the color associated with the note.

For long messages it’s recommended you select “Articles”. If your note's caption reaches too many characters a prompt will appear asking if you would like to convert your note to an article. Once you click the link and convert the post to an article type, you cannot revert it back to a note post.

Article: You’re sharing long text, creating custom content and have files to attached
Article posts are perfect for extensive hand-written content. There are many features for customization, including unlimited character count and code view which lets you use HTML to embed content, upload and attach files, and more. We recommend viewing the word count and estimated read time to help you gauge the length of your post.

Link: You’re sharing a link to a webpage with auto-generated content
Link posts are a great way to drive members to external sites such as RRD.com, insideRRD or even useful online articles. Generally, if you have a URL or link, the first content type you should consider creating is a link post. Link posts are one of the quickest posts to make, as link posts automatically generate an image, title, and description based on the original website. While creating a link post, just paste the URL into the “Enter a URL field”:

The auto-generated information can be customized:

• Choose between multiple images (if available)
• Upload your own image
• Edit the title/description
