Using Slack Or Microsoft Teams

Using Slack or Microsoft Teams does not provide an organized and collaborative experience tailored to sharing ideas effectively and are instead focused on general forms of communication.

Organization
Using Slack or Microsoft Teams to field suggestions lacks organization compared to DirectSuggest. Using Slack or Microsoft Teams allows for suggestions to quickly become lost among the rest of the communication and does not organize suggestions in an effective manner.

Collaboration
Using Slack or Microsoft Teams does not enable collaboration among the whole organization in any way. When suggestions are shared only with the decision-makers responsible for overseeing the suggestion, other employees cannot share what they think is most important or collaborate on the suggestion.

Data-Driven
Using Slack or Microsoft Teams to field suggestions are in no way data driven and do not allow for data analysis pertaining to employee suggestions.

Additional Features Like Anonymity
Using Slack or Microsoft Teams to field suggestions lacks additional features that enhance the process of making an employee suggestion and only allows for suggestions to be sent to the desired recipient or channel.

DirectSuggest Shifts Culture, Enhancing Employee Engagement & Innovation
Using Slack or Microsoft Teams to field suggestions likely negatively impacts the organization. Suggestions are made but hard to stay on top of, along with easily getting lost. Suggestions are also rarely effectively shared with those in positions to implement them. Both result in employees feeling as if they aren’t listened to or trusted, which decreases employee engagement, retention, and satisfaction.
