One of the keys to working remotely is being able to communicate with your colleagues as if you were all working in the same office. Microsoft Office 365 does this with the use of teams, allowing you to do video conferencing and also the ability to be able to share and collaborate on files. Together these tools allow your team to carry on working together where ever they are in the world.
5. Daily time management
Office 365 offers a ‘My Analytics’ package which allows employees to see a summary of how they have spent their time.
- Meeting hours
- Time spent on emails
- How many focus hours you had
- Time spent on chats and calls
- The documents worked on
- After hours work
From this information, MyAnalytics will provide employees with suggestions on how they can improve their working habits at home – whether it’s reducing unproductive meetings or getting a better work/life balance. This allows you to make better use of your time when working.
