Employee Recognition in Microsoft Teams

Peer Recognition

Send recognition without leaving Teams

Your team can recognize each other right from the Teams compose bar, while the moment is still fresh. A shoutout takes seconds instead of becoming a task people forget, and the easier it is to say thank you, the more your program gets used.

Employee Feedback

Run pulse surveys inside Teams

Get an honest read on how your team is really doing, without chasing anyone down. Pulse surveys arrive right in Teams and people answer anonymously in a few taps, so you get better response rates and data that actually reflects your team.

Milestone Celebrations

Celebrate work anniversaries and birthdays automatically

Never miss a work anniversary or birthday again. Each one posts to your Teams channel automatically, with a festive banner and no effort from you, so every milestone gets its moment and no one feels overlooked.

Can I send recognition inside Microsoft Teams without switching apps?

Yes. Applauz lets employees send recognition directly from the Microsoft Teams compose bar, with a message, points, and badges. The recognition is created in Applauz and posts to the Newsfeed instantly, so there is no separate tab or login.

Does Applauz work with Microsoft Teams?

Yes. Applauz has a native Microsoft Teams app that delivers your Newsfeed into a channel, lets people send recognition and answer pulse surveys in Teams, and syncs reactions and replies back to Applauz automatically.

Can employees answer surveys inside Microsoft Teams?

Yes. When a pulse survey is active, the Applauz bot notifies employees in Teams, by direct message or in a channel, and they answer question by question without leaving the app.

Do reactions and comments in Teams show up in Applauz?

Yes. Reactions and replies on recognition cards in a Teams channel sync back to the matching Applauz post, and edits or deletions stay in sync. This applies to channel posts, not personal chats.

Is the Teams integration available in French?

Yes. The full Teams experience, including bot messages and cards, is available in English and French, and it auto-detects each user's Teams language setting.

How do I set up the Applauz Teams integration?

You add Applauz from the Microsoft Teams App Store, and it links to each person's account by email automatically. There is no IT ticket and no admin approval required, so your team can be up and running in minutes.

Which Applauz plan includes the Teams integration?

Every recognition package. The Microsoft Teams integration is included with Recognition Starter, Engagement Essentials, and Experience Pro at no extra cost.
