Some Things to Think About
Photos
Breakroom recommends that all employees upload clear, close-up, easily identifiable photos of themselves to their Profile pages. This photo, alongside your name, will be visible in all communications made within the app, including chats and announcements. This practice enhances communication efficiency, particularly in larger organizations where face-to-face interactions may be limited.
Names and Roles
Breakroom advises all employees to use their real names rather than nicknames when representing themselves on the app, including role names or titles. This practice promotes efficient communication and maintains professionalism in the work environment.
When joining the Breakroom app, your name is displayed exactly as inputted by the person who invited you or as it appeared in their contact list. You have the option to modify how your name appears upon accepting the invitation or you can edit it at any time from your Profile page.
Note Managers can change their employees’ names within the app
