1. Use Office 365 Tools On Most Devices
With Office 365, your team can stay focussed and productive no matter where they are or what device they’re working from. Encourage employees to use Office 365 apps on their phones and tablets that way, they’ll be able to edit documents, check out visuals, and watch presentations on the go. Teams within your organization will be able to stay connected no matter who is in the office, on site, or working from home.
2. Sync Timezones
Our Office 365 tips and tricks offer the answer to staying in sync regardless of what time zones employees are in. Having various versions of documents saved to different places can lead to major business inefficiencies. Whether it’s a group document or an individual project, multiple file versions can cause unnecessary confusion and stress. More than one version of a ‘final copy’ may even appear meaning additional last-minute work for your team as they scramble to make sure one version has all the correct edits before submission.
3. Alerts Via SharePoint
Have you ever spent too much time manually checking a file for updates? Or have you been reading from a file mid-meeting only to realize it had been updated since you last went over it? These are avoidable productivity and accountability workplace hurdles. If you activate SharePoint’s Alert Me function, you’ll be automatically emailed or texted when changes are made to a file or library.
