This document summarizes Richard Harbridge's presentation on enhancing Microsoft Teams to build a better digital workplace. Some key points include:
- Microsoft Teams has become the preferred tool for both individual ("me") and group ("we" and "us") collaboration and communication.
- Digital workplaces now require better collaboration, communication, and employee management capabilities to address issues like collaboration overload, blurred work-life boundaries, and limited networks.
- Microsoft 365 provides intelligent and connected collaboration experiences across Outlook and Teams, and continues developing new capabilities to further improve the digital employee experience.
Enhancing Microsoft Teams To Build A Better Digital WorkplaceRichard Harbridge
Today, many organizations have brought the Intranet, or the digital hub of their digital workplace, into Microsoft Teams via Viva Connections. But what else are organizations doing to enhance further, improve upon, and embrace Teams as a hub for not just teamwork, but also corporate communication, social collaboration, networking, and more?
Join Microsoft MVP and 2toLead CTO Richard Harbridge as he shares the unique opportunity Teams apps and solutions provide. Be prepared to explore examples, patterns, and practices for how lines of business in any organization can leverage, extend and integrate Teams to create business-oriented solutions.
To help teams be more productive, we need to change the way we think about meetings. Today, a meeting is typically treated as a stand-alone event, and the phone and video conferencing tools people use are designed to support that event.
What if we approached meetings in a more connected way – not as discrete events, but as a series of connected gatherings that drive collaborative progress? This approach is at the heart of how we built the meeting experience in Microsoft Teams.
We built Microsoft Teams to help people meet smarter. Stay focused. And achieve more.

#Microsoft365 #Toronto Collaboration user group
The way people connect in their personal and professional lives has changed
fundamentally in the last few years – the world has effectively formed a giant network.
People now expect to be able to get things done at work in the same way.
Office 365 is an invitation for your organization to work in that way. It allows you to
become more connected, collaborative and structured in how work gets done. But it can
only do that if you take the people in your organization on that journey with you.
The Office 365 Customer Success team have contributed our experiences of working
with customers on their journeys to working differently to this guide. We hope it inspires
you with what is possible and that you like it, use it and share it with the people in your
organization. We’d welcome feedback on it, through the Office 365 Network.
Change the way you work, because the way you work impacts the work you do
Microsoft Teams - Transform Workplace CollaborationDavid J Rosenthal
Transform Workplace collaboration
by bringing everything together into a shared workspace where you can chat, meet, create, and make decisions as a team.
And since all your content is organized by team or project, you are able to stay in the flow of your work. It takes the average person 23 minutes to regain productivity after an interruption, or being distracted.
Streamline business processes
You need ready access to business-critical data, applications, and be able to execute repeatable processes efficiently. Since Teams is a true platform, you can plug in apps and services you already use, and even integrate your existing tailor-made tools INTO Teams.
Imagine being able to seamlessly kick off a repeatable approvals process without ever having to leave Teams.
Connect across your entire organization
Teams is just as important and effective a tool for a C-level executive, as it is for somebody on a factory floor, in a retail shop, a classroom, a hospital, in a marketing role, or anyone in between.
We have thought about the unique needs of many different types of workers and provide solutions through Teams that are tailor-made for them. And Microsoft is the only collaboration solution provider who has dedicated engineering teams building functionality specifically for roles across industries.
For example, you can see here how Teams gives Firstline worker managers a tool to manage schedules and gives the workers an easy way to consume that information, or even swap a shift.
Connections is a company branded employee app in Teams. It is a gateway to your employee experience, with personalized news, communications, tasks, people and resources. It provides a single curated employee destination that can be configured for specific roles like frontline workers. So, leaders can communicate and engage their employees, and employees can get easy access to the tools and resources they need from one place.. Connections builds on existing capabilities in Microsoft 365 like SharePoint and Yammer. And it pulls your communications together into a pre-configured app in Teams, designed for both desktop and mobile workers. It also acts as a launching pad to the other 3 Viva modules
Insights brings together Workplace Analytics, MyAnalytics and Glint into a unified insights app in Teams to provide data-driven and privacy-protected insights for individuals, managers and leaders. For example, employees get personalized insights, only they can see, that help them protect their time for breaks, focused work, and learning in order to promote improved productivity and wellbeing.
Topics focuses on knowledge and expertise. Topics applies AI to identify knowledge and experts and organize them into shared topics. AI automatically creates a topic page for each topic. It’s like Wikipedia for the enterprise where AI does the first draft. And these topic pages are surfaced as Topic Cards right in the flow of work in Office and Teams.
Finally, Learning allows employees to easily discover informal and formal learning in the flow of work. It aggregates content from LinkedIn Learning, Microsoft Learn and 3rd party training content and your own organizations content – all in one place. Along with providing aggregation and recommendations, it also allows managers to assign and track training, as well as report on training within and across teams.

As such, many organizations are making the adjustments for a post-pandemic world and looking to prepare for and manage the explosive growth expected in the months and years ahead. But, from skills development and digital excellence to process automation and connecting employees to the resources they need at the right time, the challenges ahead are considerable.

ACCELERATING EMPLOYEE ONBOARDING & YOUR HYBRID WORKPLACE WITH MICROSOFT 365Richard Harbridge
As organizations begin to adjust for a post-pandemic world, many are looking to prepare for and manage the explosive growth expected in the months and years ahead. From skills development and digital excellence to process automation and connecting employees to the resources they need at the right time, the challenges ahead are considerable. Organizations are looking to better leverage Microsoft 365 and their digital workplace investments to support this talent growth by accelerating employee onboarding and digital excellence around hybrid workplace practices for flexible work and remote work.
Join Richard Harbridge, a Microsoft MVP and internationally recognized expert on Microsoft 365 and the Digital Workplace, as he explores how the world of digital work has changed, how the way we work together has changed, and how SharePoint, Teams, Yammer, and more can be used to improve the onboarding and hybrid work experience.
New technologies are changing the way people work with each other, their organization’s partners, and their customers. Employee expectations have grown and are being met by innovation that delivers greater accessibility, lower costs, and faster results. The catch? Organizations and employees need to understand, adopt, and use these technologies or risk being outpaced by new competitors or changes in the marketplace.
Join Richard Harbridge in an insightful discussion as he explores why collaboration can be challenging in organizations today, what we can do about it together.

Tackling Employee Experience Today As We Embrace The Future WorkplaceRichard Harbridge
Tackling Employee Experience Today As We Embrace The Future Workplace
The future workplace needs to take into account how the employee experience landscape is changing and the importance of digital experiences throughout the employee journey. The employee experience journey starts before the employee is hired and lasts after they depart. Focusing on the employee experience can feel like a daunting task when reviewing the many different stages of an employee’s journey, but we know understanding and improving these stages can lead to a much more positive employee experience, and maximize the retention, impact, engagement, and performance of the employee.

The world of employee management has undergone a rapid and evolving change. #Leaders and #managers have navigated unexpected and challenging times. Workers worldwide are rethinking where and how they work and why they work where they do. The need to re-evaluate #culture, #technology, and #Management Practices is greater today than it ever has been before.
With the continued shift towards #HybridWork, the importance of a physical workplace has decreased, and the importance of cultural and technological advantage has become more evident. What are organizations looking to do in the future to continue to improve the employee experience, and what successes are they having now as they try new tools, methods, and approaches?
Today, leaders and managers have new digitally-enabled options from new mainstream categories of digital employee management tools like #Ally.io for #ObjectiveManagement / #Goal Management to #Microsoft Viva Insights for improving how we, our teams, and our organization work. The demands of employees are higher than ever when it comes to learning and can only be met with pro-active and #Connected Learning initiatives like those powered by #Microsoft Viva Learning, while #Employee Recognition, #Employee Connection, and #Employee Networking remain essential areas of focus during a time of considerable workforce change.

Today employees digitally collaborate with more people, more frequently, on more things and in more ways than ever before. This increased volume, velocity, and variety is changing how digital employee collaboration is evolving.
We can no longer re-actively respond to collaboration needs with baseline enablement. We need to pro-actively work to improve the collaboration and process experiences of our digital employee experience or we risk being left behind in the race for talent, competitive advantage, and better business outcomes.
There are proven approaches and best practices that organizations are using today to lead the way when it comes to collaboration and the employee experience. From the future with Microsoft Loop and ContextIQ to the more connected and integrated experiences of Microsoft Viva, Microsoft Teams and Outlook today there is a tremendous amount worth knowing.

Best practices on modern knowledge management
How the continued innovation from Microsoft can be best reconciled with enterprise intranet and digital workplace needs
Today’s hybrid workforce, although physically distant from one another, strongly yearns for a sense of belonging in addition to a sense of pride in contributing to the organization in a meaningful way. This poses a question for the HR department on what should be done to make employees feel emotionally connected even while working in isolation. How does one drive engagement among the same as well as different strata of the
organization and what is the new model of design considerations to be implemented for maximum employee
satisfaction.
Modern HR, Communication, & Leadership Best Practices With Microsoft 365Richard Harbridge
Today Intranets are about more than just getting key corporate messaging out. Communications have changed just as IT and HR have changed. Communications leaders have shifted from editors to enablers. Communication leaders are moving from enforcing messaging to empowering and amplifying excellent communications and great ideas throughout the business. Human Resources leaders are shifting from hiring/firing and policy enforcement to performance and engagement. From preboarding to offboarding, HR's challenges are harder today than they have ever been before. Naturally, how these leaders leverage the digital workplace has changed, especially in how they leverage technology to achieve more with less. Join Richard Harbridge, a Microsoft MVP and internationally recognized expert on Microsoft 365 and the Digital Workplace, as he explores ideas and solutions that HR and Corporate Communications have embraced to improve how, where, and when they engage with employees. We will discuss how to best leverage SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, and Yammer for modern communications and take advantage of AI and Microsoft technology to accelerate and improve key communication and content. The technology, best practices, and approach can make all the difference, and it has, for some organizations, led to more significant HR, Intranet, and communications success.

Bridging The Gap: How AI Is Transforming Both Customer Experience & Employee ...Richard Harbridge
In the post-pandemic and hybrid world, the importance of effective conversations in both customer experience (CX) and employee experience (EX) has surged.
Historically, voice data has primarily enhanced customer support, but with the integration of advanced recording, transcription, and AI-driven tools, there's a newfound potential to elevate all employee interactions.
AI copilot agents stand at the forefront of this transformation, offering streamlined customer interactions, real-time insights for support agents, and organizational agility. The transition from chat to voice calls presents both an opportunity and a challenge.
While analytics have been a mainstay in , their application in remains largely untapped. This disparity offers organizations a chance to holistically understand operations and create a seamless synergy between CX and EX.

Metaverse & The Employee Experience: What You Need To KnowRichard Harbridge
Back in the day we would use 'who installed a browser' that wasn't the default as an 'indirect signal' that denoted a level of individual interest in improving their digital productivity or experience. Nowadays we are swimming in indirect signals - from who organizes the most meetings (named if you use Audit log etc) to dynamics around networking (Viva Insights) to who uses Teams Apps (another great indirect signal of expanding productivity/investing in digital experiences).
What still works best though is direct signals like comments, nominations, champion programs (yearly and NON MANAGER & NON IT focused) and more that help identify people and map them/amplify their visibility as potential super collaborators, those with high amounts of digital debt and those who would better benefit from greater digital fitness or digital experience investments.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
