With the Microsoft Teams Integration for Team GPS Rewards & Recognitions, users will be able to tap into the recognition feed (Social Feed) and provide everyone with instant updates in Microsoft Teams when a colleague is recognized. Users will also be able to give recognition straight from within Microsoft Teams and see how many points they have available to give.
