Getting the team to gel together is a daunting task. But that is definitely a prerequisite to achieve great things, as an organisation.
Everywhere the management & HR teams tend to search for that magical team building idea. And the simplest ways are often ignored. One such low hanging fruit is an online company directory.
Creating user & team profiles helps employees get easy access to relevant data. That way, there is less friction for employees to consume information.

Team profile
Companies rely on different strategies for team formation. e.g. project based teams, customer based teams, skills based teams etc. Irrespective of what approach you follow, team is essentially a group of individuals. Majority of the times, lead by a team lead or a team manager.
UpRaise apps automatically create a team profile pages, given that relevant details are added. These pages show details about team members as well as extra contextual information. e.g. in case of Employee Success app, Team OKRs are displayed.
