Great news for those of you using Microsoft Teams! The Perkbox app for Microsoft Teams brings Perkbox into your team workflow – making your recognition initiatives more visible and accessible to your employees.
Perkbox for Microsoft Teams is an app you can install from the Microsoft Teams AppSource. It syncs your rewards and recognitions from Perkbox directly into Microsoft Teams. This means that your employees can send recognitions in the moment – whenever the great work happens – without having to go into the Perkbox app.
To help you get started, we’ve put together a brief overview video:
Motivating your people is becoming more and more important, and your Recognition strategy is a big part of this. It helps build a culture of appreciation that leads to people feeling more connected to each other, and with the business.
However, recognition initiatives stagnate overtime, and can be difficult to embed into the daily workflow of a company.
According to Great Places To Work, 37% of employees say that they will work harder if recognised regularly.
That’s why some companies prefer to stick to an informal “well done” on Slack, Microsoft Teams or any other tools their teams use for daily conversations, as well as a verbal thank you.
While this is a great starting point, such an approach makes it difficult to see the participation and engagement levels with the recognition programmes, or to identify top performers and role models.
Other companies simply stick to one-off events such as annual awards ceremonies, without maintaining it as an ongoing programme. This means the longer-term effect is hard to achieve.
That’s why we’ve built an app for Microsoft Teams, so you can make recognition visible, regular and seamless within your existing workflows, as well as have access to the data you need.
Perkbox for Microsoft Teams helps you strengthen your culture by celebrating great work right where the collaboration happens.
It brings your recognition strategy straight into the tech that your teams are already using — therefore increasing its visibility and making it easier for you to maintain consistent engagement levels.
