Xecuit releases Slack app for improving employee morale as companies switch to remote work

Xecuit, a minority owned and operated firm, is releasing its' newest Slack app, Kooler, building out workplace culture for virtual teams to keep employees engaged while working remotely. 

Currently being tested with a select group of customers, Kooler seamlessly integrates with Slack, offering unique features, including Kooler chat, Shoutouts, Watch parties, and Engagement analytics allows employees to choose an interest(s) from various categories such as entertainment, food, sports, or fun facts.

Employees receive a daily push notification with the latest relevant articles creating a space for organic conversation with colleagues who share their same interests, just like chatting around the water cooler in the office. 

Shoutouts enable employees to recognize others who are living company values and doing exceptional work.

Watch parties (launching soon) utilizes Skill Scout curated videos focused on timely workplace topics such as their virtual series "Humans at Work". 

Finally, to get the most benefit from all of the app features, Analytics provides company administrators with engagement metrics on trending company values, team recognition via shoutouts, most engaging topics, and most popular interest categories.

Initial feedback from beta customers has been extremely positive, according to the vendor. 

"We developed Kooler because we saw a need that wasn't being met in the marketplace,” said Dejean Brown, co-founder of Xecuit. “The average percentage of employees who will work remotely is projected to nearly triple after COVID, so employers will have to be creative to keep their employees happy and productive.  Organizations can't afford to ignore morale because it has a costly impact.”
