Tech Talk with alltasksIT | August 2024

We recently developed a “Core Values in Action” app to promote a culture of recognition and appreciation within our organization. The app was created using Microsoft Power Apps, a platform that enables rapid development of custom applications.

Power Apps allowed us to:

1. Design a User-Friendly Interface
2. Automate Notifications
3. Integrate with Existing Systems

By leveraging Power Apps, companies can create custom applications that enhance their workplace culture, improve efficiency, and drive employee engagement. See below examples of templates that may benefit you! If you have any specific questions or need further details, please contact our sales team!

1. Awards and Recognition Template:

Employees can nominate coworkers and track recognitions through a canvas app, while admins manage the program, configure awards, and approve nominations via a model-driven app.

2. Employee Kudos Template:

Employees can send and receive Kudos through a canvas app, and admins can manage badges and user participation via a model-driven app.

3. Onboarding Buddy Template:

Employees can register as Buddies, and managers can match them with new hires using a canvas app. Admins manage the program and send automated emails through a model-driven app.

4. Expense Reimbursement Template:

Employees submit reimbursement requests with receipts via a canvas app, and admins manage and process these requests through a model-driven app.

5. Hardware Request and Management Template:

Employees request new hardware through a canvas app, while admins manage requests and inventory using a model-driven app, with additional AI and Teams integration for approvals.
