Employee engagement is a critical factor for any organisation’s success. When employees are engaged, they are more productive, innovative, and committed to their work. However, when engagement is low, employees can become disengaged, leading to decreased motivation and a lack of commitment to their work. Microsoft Teams is a collaboration and communication powerhouse that can help increase employee engagement by providing a central hub for team communication, knowledge sharing, and collaboration. Teams can help employees feel more connected to their colleagues, even when they are working remotely, and can help build a more engaged and collaborative workplace culture.

With the Viva suite, you can further increase engagement. It could be as simple as increasing alignment with and understanding of your company wide objectives & key results with Viva Goals. Or connecting your people with the context of what is happing in your organisation, and hear first hand from your leaders with Viva Engage.

Collaboration is essential for modern work, but it can be difficult to achieve when employees are dispersed across various locations and devices, unless you are purposeful. Microsoft’s collaboration tools, such as Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive, provide a platform for seamless synchronous or asynchronous communication and collaboration, no matter where employees are located.

OneDrive enables employees to store and access files from anywhere. Teams allow employees to chat, video call, and create team spaces with a working group to share and collaborate on files in real time, whilst providing a centralised location for document storage and management through SharePoint. These tools ensure that teams can collaborate efficiently on any device even when working remotely.

In today’s fast-paced business environment, productivity is key to your organisational success. However, with the increasing demands of work today, your people can become overwhelmed and struggle to stay productive. Microsoft’s productivity tools, such as To Do, and Planner, can help employees stay organised, and prioritise tasks. When you have your processes perfected, leveraging tools from the Power Platform such as Power Automate and Virtual Agents to automate repetitive tasks will help free up time for more strategic work.

Microsoft 365 includes applications like Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more, which allow your people to create, share, and collaborate on documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. Teams provides a centralised location for team communication and collaboration, allowing your colleagues to focus on their work without getting bogged down in email chains or multiple communication channels.

In a digital workplace, finding the information you need quickly can be a challenge. Microsoft’s search capabilities, integrated across the platform make it easy to find files, messages, and other content across your organisation. You can search for specific messages, files, or people, making it easy to find the information you need quickly. And when you need to discover and understand corporate knowledge in the context of your work, Viva Topics leverages AI to curate the right information, and presents it at the right time.

Innovation is critical for any organisation that wants to stay competitive in today’s fast-paced business environment. However, developing a culture of innovation can be challenging. Microsoft’s tools, such as the Power Platform, provide a low-code environment for crafting reports, creating custom apps, and automating business processes, enabling your people to innovate and drive change within their organisations.

Power Platform allows you to create custom apps and workflows without the need for extensive programming knowledge, making it easy to develop innovative solutions that can drive business success. By empowering employees to innovate and experiment, organisations can create a culture of innovation that fosters growth and drives success.
