For a more lightweight Q&A try creating a Q&A post in a company-wide group. All members of the group will get a notification and will be able to ask questions directly on the post. Groups members will also be able to upvote and downvote questions and reply to other group members.

5. Run weekly Q&As with company leaders
Bring distributed teams closer and encourage better internal collaboration by creating a weekly all company Q&A hosted by your CEO. By using Workplace polls, events, and Live you can get a pulse of the company and ensure that leadership is never far from the frontline.
6. Send regular micro-pulse surveys
Every Friday, ask your employees 3 questions using the Workplace Surveys feature. System Administrators, Content Moderators, and custom admin roles with the ‘Manage Surveys’ permission can create a survey by going to Surveys from the Workplace Admin Panel.
