## Employee Slate for ITSM benefits

The Service Health Broadcast widget lets employees see active outages and degradations without leaving the current page, and ask Otto for a plain-language summary.

Check in for a walk-up visit to the tech lounge or schedule an in-person appointment directly from the home page with available time slots.

Use Otto to request a tech lounge visit in natural language, and get routed to walk-in visit or a booking.
