Hey, I like the idea. Have you heard of org maps - rather than hierarchal charts? If you read the ‘reinventing orgs’ book they talk about having a more fluid model which is less top down. Also I think bamboohr is probably the most important integration to have - most orgs use it and you can pull the org chart directly from there. Good work. Good idea.
Huh interesting.. thanks for sharing about bamboohr
We really wanted to replicate this experience somehow and make the experience of searching teammates within a company good for every company out there. We started by looking into Slack since we saw a good amount of companies using Slack for their day to day communication channel. We've started off by building an org chat where you can lookup teammates directly within Slack.
Some tidbits of what we have: - You can look up your teammates, their managers and their reports directly within Slack (no going to a separate website, etc.) - You can manage / edit your org chart directly within Slack as well - Employee info is pulled directly from Slack profiles so no initial effort filing up your employee info - We also support importing data from other tools such as Google Workplace, Microsoft 365, Microsoft Azure Active Directory, and more as needed.
Would be great to get some feedback from folks here.
