So, what is Perkbox for Microsoft Teams?

erkbox for Microsoft Teams is an app we recently launched that helps you bring more visibility and drive better engagement with your recognition strategy. It enables your employees to recognise each other within their existing workflows in Microsoft Teams.

How Perkbox for Microsoft Teams can make your life easier

Once installed and logged in, your employees will be able to recognise each other without having to switch to their browser or away from their workflow on Microsoft Teams.
