Not in the office, yet working 'together'? It can be done!

It is annoying for all parties when employees are unable to work due to unforeseen circumstances. For the employee himself, who misses important meetings, and for the company. An absent employee due to illness can cost the company quite a lot of money. Often this cost can be easily reduced, by using Microsoft Teams.

Working from home

Employees who are sick cannot work. But if employees have to work from home as a precaution, they can do quite a bit from home. With Microsoft Teams, work can be done anytime, anywhere, even if employees are away from the office for any reason. An employee is then less likely to have to report absent (quickly). Online, someone can just be there at all times.

Why choose Teams?

Teams is an online collaboration program integrated into Office 365. Every employee can use this program. In the program, a channel can be created per project or client where those involved are added as team members. For example, private and group chats can be sent, calls can be made to meetings, documents can be shared and appointments can be scheduled for all team members. An employee who is at home because he or she is not feeling quite fit or has to take care of his or her child can still participate in work this way.

Working more productively and safely

Long story short, Microsoft Teams gives flexibility because you can truly collaborate anywhere, anytime. In addition, the program has countless useful extras to help you work together more productively and effectively. For example, you can use the search function to find all information about a particular employee or project.

Always be accessible

In addition to working online, you also want to stay accessible by phone when working from home. This can be done by VoIP telephony. Also know how to stay reachable on your own terms? Then read our blog Or contact one of our specialists!
