Internal Communication Tool "THANKS GIFT" Launches Integration App with "Microsoft Teams"!

Take Action Inc. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yasuya Narita) has launched an integration app for its employee engagement platform "THANKS GIFT" with "Microsoft Teams" (hereinafter referred to as Teams).

This integration allows users to access key "THANKS GIFT" features directly within Teams, a tool frequently used in daily operations. Users can seamlessly view the thanks card timeline and internal newsletters without needing to open a separate browser. ■Development Background While "THANKS GIFT" has supported organizational revitalization for many companies, this development was undertaken to further enhance the user experience.

By integrating "THANKS GIFT" into "Teams," a crucial communication infrastructure in modern business environments, we have achieved smooth operability, enabling users to express gratitude the moment they think of it, without switching screens. This will further embed a culture of appreciation into daily routines and elevate organizational engagement to the next level. THANKS GIFT screen within Teams (Coin List)

Benefits of Utilization 1. Natural Expression of Gratitude and Appreciation Without Disrupting Workflow Operations are completed within Teams, eliminating the need to open separate browsers or tools during work. Users can send thanks cards the moment they feel grateful, without interrupting their workflow. This reduces psychological and physical burdens, enabling more natural usage.

2. Accelerated Establishment of a Culture of Appreciation Through Enhanced Communication By consolidating features within the frequently used Teams, opportunities to naturally interact with "THANKS GIFT" increase without requiring conscious effort. Making the tool more accessible encourages employee adoption and revitalizes communication across the entire organization.

3. More Accessible Information Access Internal news and newsletters can also be viewed within Teams, making important organizational messages and colleagues' achievements more visible. An environment where employees are constantly connected to the organization's "now" fosters team unity.

Future Outlook THANKS GIFT aims to be more than just a tool for visualizing gratitude; it strives to facilitate all internal communications and ensure that every employee feels a sense of fulfillment in their work.
