What's possible with the app?

Our app for Slack allows you to use Culture Amp directly in Slack. The following features are currently available with the app:

The app delivers news of survey launches, gentle reminders, and reports and insights for our employee engagement, experience, and effectiveness surveys, making it easier to stay updated on important feedback and development opportunities.

Notifications:

  • You're invited to participate in a survey

  • Reminders to participate in a survey

  • A survey report has been shared with you

  • Reminder to view a report

  • Reminder to select focus areas

  • Reminder to select actions

  • Reminder when an action is almost due

  • Invitations to the action feedback survey

TIP: Some notifications can be customized.

Skills Coach

Skills Coach users receive a morning daily prompt for each new content day after completing the last. A completed day of content is also followed up by an afternoon nudge to check in on their practice.

Notifications:

  • Daily course reminders if a course has been started (and only if the user has selected Slack as their notification preference)

NOTE: An EU version of our Slack app for our EU Data Center customers is available for Engagement and will soon be available for Performance

Get started using the app

To get started, go to shortcuts in Slack to connect your Culture Amp account. This will enable notifications from Culture Amp, and if your organization uses Culture Amp Performance, you can give and receive feedback to colleagues directly in Slack.

Whether using shortcuts or slash commands, you can give and receive feedback quickly in Slack.

What happens to the information you enter?

  • The recipient will receive a notification in Slack containing your feedback.

  • If you do so, the feedback will be shared with their manager in Slack.

  • Your feedback will also be added to the recipient’s profile in Culture Amp. It will be visible to you, the recipient, and, if shared, their manager.
