The Sage People digital assistant for Microsoft Teams provides seamless access to your organization's time off processes using a chatbot that lives inside Microsoft Teams. The digital assistant enables team members and managers to perform common tasks such as booking vacation and other absences, checking absence balances, and approving absence requests directly in Microsoft Teams, without having to open a different interface.
Users interact with the digital assistant by chatting, providing a frictionless experience that enables greater flexibility and allows users to focus on their work.
Each day, the assistant sends managers a daily rundown, showing pending absence approvals for their direct reports.
Complementing the Sage People desktop and mobile experiences, the Sage People app for Microsoft Teams helps deliver better and faster workforce experiences, streamline HR processes, and provides employees with the ability to work effectively on the go, within the tools and devices they use every day.
