Maintain productivity no matter where you work with Microsoft Teams

June 1, 2020
Man using Microsoft Teams at home

Working from home has quickly become the new normal for a lot of companies due to COVID-19. Businesses around the world have had to quickly shift their ways of working to facilitate employees working remotely, manage the disruption to daily routine and ensure teams remain connected. Digital communication and collaboration online have become essential to keeping organisations in touch and productive.

Employees needs have changed and have been demanding a more flexible way of working to provide a better work/life balance for some time. Not only does this bring improvements in employee well-being, it improves employee satisfaction and can increase productivity. The current pandemic in many circumstances has only accelerated this need but with it has also accelerated businesses strategies to deal with this demand.

As we slowly look to come out of this situation businesses and employees are already starting to talk about remote working becoming the new ‘norm’ or at least how they can start to adopt more long-term remote working strategies.

Microsoft Teams has been at the forefront of enabling this digital communication and collaboration seeing daily usage increase by over 70% to in excess of 75 million daily users.

Maintain productivity, no matter where you work!

Microsoft Teams is a hub for teamwork, a chat-based workspace that enables teams to be more productive by giving them a single location that brings together everything a team needs: chats, meetings, calls, files, and tools, all without compromising privacy and security.
