We don’t use slack, we use teams. Don’t they already have the ability to make meetings with slack where invitations are sent but attendance is optional?
Say Joe in Utah sends a slack message to everyone but the bosses saying ‘ hey, anyone want to have a coffee chat at 11 tomorrow? I’ll set up the invite, let me know who’s interested.’
Or do interactive lunch and learns that are geared toward getting to know eachother? Like send out a orefacing quiz: favorite sports teams, pics of pets, best restaurant in their area etc?
