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

Take Action Inc. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Seiya Narita) has launched an integration app for "Microsoft Teams" (hereinafter "Teams") within its organizational engagement platform, "THANKS GIFT."

With this integration, key features of "THANKS GIFT" are now available directly within Teams, a tool frequently used in daily operations. Users can seamlessly view thank-you card timelines and internal newsletters without needing to open a separate browser.

Development Background While "THANKS GIFT" has long supported organizational revitalization for many companies, this development was undertaken to further improve the user experience.

By embedding "THANKS GIFT" into "Teams," which serves as a vital communication infrastructure in modern business, we have achieved smooth operability that allows users to express gratitude the moment they think of it, without switching screens. This helps integrate a culture of praise into daily routines, elevating organizational engagement to the next level.

Benefits of Utilization 1. Enabling natural gratitude and praise without interrupting workflows Because operations are completed within Teams, there is no need to launch separate browsers or tools during work. You can send a thank-you card the moment you feel grateful without breaking your workflow, reducing both psychological and physical burdens and allowing for more natural usage.

2. Activating communication to accelerate the establishment of a culture of praise By consolidating features within the Teams environment used daily, opportunities to interact with "THANKS GIFT" increase naturally without the need for conscious, special actions. Making the tool more accessible encourages employee adoption and revitalizes communication across the entire organization.

3. Making information access more accessible Since internal news and newsletters can also be checked on Teams, important organizational messages and the achievements of colleagues become more visible. An environment where the "now" of the organization is always close at hand fosters a sense of team unity.

Future Outlook "THANKS GIFT" aims to be more than just a tool for visualizing gratitude; it strives to be a platform that facilitates all communication within an organization and fosters a culture where every employee feels a sense of purpose. We will continue to listen sincerely to our customers' feedback and pursue feature development and improvements that contribute to the sustainable growth of companies.
