Facebook at Work will be officially launching in October. Facebook at Work is a version aimed at business users of the popular social network. The business version of Facebook social network has been first unveiled in 2014. Currently, Facebook is testing the application with a number of companies, preparing for the official launch next month.

According to The Information, Facebook at Work will not come for free as its variant for the general public. Companies interested in installing the service will have to pay for it based on the number of employees using it.

CNET reports that Facebook at Work service is expected to be similar to competitors such as Slack and Yammer. A company's employees can use these tools to collaborate and communicate, minimizing old ways of working and communicating in an enterprise such as email chains. Facebook's business version will be similar to the social network for the general public, featuring mobile apps for Android and iOS and a news feed.

According to Tech Times, Facebook's enterprise-centered social networking platform will mirrors most of the features already known but will allow users create work accounts separate from their main Facebook accounts. Facebook at Work aims to bring Facebook in the office space and to integrate familiar socialization elements.

Among the very few differences between Facebook and Facebook at Work, is the fact that except content unrelated to the workplace such as memes is out of the question. Aspects embedded in the social networking site such as audio and video conferencing, live streaming, messaging, profiles, groups and event pages will be carried over to the service.

Facebook at Work aims to be easy and familiar to use in order to expand the popularity of the model into the workplace environment. If they seek a collaborative tool for engagement and productivity, professionals among Facebook's 1.5 billion users will likely find Facebook at Work as the obvious choice.
