Individual Team Schedules for Matching

Different teams have different needs and working styles. With this feature, each team can tailor their matching schedules to their requirements, providing the flexibility necessary for optimal performance. This feature is also particularly beneficial for cross-team matching.

Cross-Team Matching to Build Closer Connections in Microsoft Teams 

Cross-team matching introduces different teams within your organization to each other – such as the #sales team and #engineering team – even if they don't typically work together. By breaking down business silos and fostering inter-team dialogue,

LEAD.bot

can improve your company culture, stimulate greater learning opportunities, implement mentorship programs, and make the workplace a more pleasant and productive environment.

Increase more Matching Opportunities with Enable/Disable repeat matches once users have met all other users

For smaller teams, admins can enable repeat matches once all users have met each other. This increases connection opportunities and ease management. Just simply go to "Settings" and "Enabled" the repeat matching function when you want your team to rematch. For larger organizations (> 200) we recommend disabling the repeat match. 

Enable/Disable matching for singer users. 

While employees can always disable matching by typing the command themselves, now admins can disable the match for them while they are on vacation, which ensures they won't miss their matches while traveling. 

Export a CSV file of users that have opted out of matching

This feature provides HR managers a better insight into the employee matching programs, which allows better analysis and planning for future matches. 

Employees can now type "Schedule" to know their matching schedule. 

With this feature, every employee can be proactive and prepared to connect with their matching teammates.
