Why At Work tells you about group invitations, cancelled group reservations and messages from your office. Office announcements appear on the home screen.
Your notifications
- Select your profile picture at the top right of the home screen. A red badge on it means there are unread notifications.
- Your profile opens. Unread notifications are listed under Notifications.
- Select a notification to open it. It is then marked as read.
If you have no unread notifications, you see No new notifications. Select Show all notifications to see older ones too.
Kinds of notifications

Notifications outside the app
The web app in a browser does not send notifications. Check your profile for new ones.
In Microsoft Teams you get notifications in the Teams activity feed, for office notifications, group invitations and cancelled group reservations. When you select one, Why At Work opens at the right office.
Office announcements
Announcements are messages your office administrator places on the home screen. They appear at the top of the home screen for the selected day. You cannot dismiss them.
- A closure day is shown as a warning. The office is closed: you cannot book, and lunch and the attendance overview are hidden. In the date bar the day is faded.
- Other announcements are shown as information.
