Introducing Your Users to Abode Events

Giving your users a heads up that you'll be using Abode Events, and how you expect them to leverage it, is a critical step after enrollment

If you and your team are utilizing Abode Events for all of your virtual and/or in-person events, it is critical to introduce candidates to the feature as early as possible. This will ensure candidates understand the technology they will be using for their events and your expectations of their attendance, with the goal of facilitating a smooth, successful utilization of this feature.

We recommend introducing your candidates to Abode Events in the form of a Task shortly after they are enrolled. Doing so helps with event awareness and expectations, and increases the likelihood of candidate attendance.

Please see below for a sample Abode Events task to introduce them to the Events tab in their Abode journey, as well as a how-to guide to enable their personal or work calendar with the Abode Events calendar:

How to use the Abode Events feature:

Abode will be the primary way we share upcoming events throughout your program. You will be able to RSVP to each event, preview event details and speakers, and share feedback after the event has taken place. You can also sync events with your personal or work calendars (Google, Outlook, Apple, and more).

  • Review all of the available events and RSVP accordingly.

  • Any events you RSVP "Yes" to will be automatically added to your Abode calendar. Any events that are mandatory will also automatically populate on your Abode calendar.

  • Please RSVP to all events in a timely manner.

  • We recommend that you sync your personal or work calendar to ensure you have the event details easily accessible.

  • Take the time to fill out feedback surveys on the events you attend. Note that not every event will ask for feedback.
