Microsoft 365 Staff Productivity

One thing that has become apparent with the pandemic and working from home is that we are relying on technology more than ever before. 

The tools available in Microsoft 365 help us stay productive wherever we’re working, be it in the office or remotely.  

If you’ve been using Microsoft’s software for years, now’s a good time to discover new features.  

If you haven’t started exploring yet, you’re missing out on loads of ways to boost productivity and make your life easier. Following, are some of the main items that could enhance your Microsoft experience. 

Teams has changed how we communicate and collaborate. Even when we can’t work in the traditional face-to-face ways Teams offer us solutions. 

Long gone are the days when different versions of the same documents were flying around on email. Set up Teams correctly and your colleagues can work together in real-time - with only one master copy of a document that’s shared and discussed.  

You can even turn the clock back to previous versions if somebody makes an error or heads in the wrong direction.  

Setting up dedicated channels within Teams lets defined groups of people focus on specific projects and topics. This makes sure people only get notified about the work they’re involved in. Which stops Teams being overwhelming or confusing. 

It’s a space to help your teamwork with a focused level of productivity. 

Don’t know how to do something in one of the Microsoft Office Apps? Are you struggling to know how to add a table to a Word Document or Format Cells in Excel? Try using the search box at the top of Microsoft's apps. 

The search box is very smart and can often be the quickest way to do what you need to do.  

Instead of Googling your question, this handy box will often take you straight to the button you need to press.  

This can help save you a lot of time as it avoids the need to research online. It’ll also make sure you get an answer specific to your version of Word, Excel, or whichever Microsoft 365 app you’re using. 

For example, if you were using Microsoft Outlook and needed to start a new email, you could type “start new email” and the icon appears in the dropdown list ready for you to click. 

If your business isn’t already using M365 and you’d like to investigate the feasibility of implementing it, please give one of our friendly sales team a call to discuss further. .
