The new feature provides users the ability to [post anonymously](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shushh) and choose the specific parts about themselves on the platform. This includes their job title and the organization they're currently working with when making the post. This could help to facilitate more [cross-industry conversations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/womality) where participants can get a better idea of what to expect when making a career shift and more. The Glassdoor communities feature responds to the post-COVID work environment and could help to create a constructive space for professionals to use as a research tool. The anonymity aspect of the new feature could also encourage more professionals to jump into the conversation.
