How to Create Employee Introductions & Connections

Easily connect team members and introduce new employees with Employee Intros from CultureBot

Making introductions and new connections happen between your employees can be challenging for a number of reasons. CultureBot's "Employee Intros" tool is the absolute easiest way in the world of software today to connect your employees.

How To Set Up "Employee Intros" in Slack

1. Activate the Feature and "Click to Configure"

To setup employee introductions, quickly visit the CultureBot app inside of Slack and scroll down to the section with the header "Employee Intros." Check the box on "click to configure."

2. Create an "Intro Instance"

Intro 'instances' allow you to setup connection pairings in different channels. For example, setup an intros channel for anyone who might want to meet new #interns, anyone who shares a certain hobby/interest, or even a #mentors channel for those who might be interested in finding a new career coach. See the button shown below to start your next intros instance.

3. Configure Your Instance

Your screen should present you with the following settings (below). You'll want to configure the following:

A channel to use as a source of employees to match (only employees in this channel will be paired off)
The size of the group to match folks up in (1-on-1 style, or groups of 3 all the way up to 5)
A frequency to make new introductions (such as once a week or once a month) as well as a day and time of day to make the introductions
Lastly, you can opt-in to a conversation starter in case you feel like your team is a bit more introverted and needs an extra "nudge" in the right direction. You can also opt-in to sending a message to every new hire added to Slack so that they're aware of the channel they should join in on to meet new people!

4. Invite People Into Any Intro Channels

Lastly, we do want to make it easy for your team to share the fun for everyone. That's why we enable you to quickly send out a note to the rest of your team to encourage them to join the channel that is being used for the introduction making.

Invite people into the channel where you will have employee intros.
