Microsoft Office and your team’s performance

Are you a human resources manager looking for a software solution that can improve team performance? Microsoft Office is the perfect product – it is designed to help businesses streamline processes and increase productivity, but at the same time requires very little Microsoft training, as many office workers are already familiar with the basics of how the Office suite works.

Microsoft Office has been a staple office software solution for decades, and now with improved features, it can help you make the most of your staff. When used correctly, products like Microsoft Word and Excel really can improve performance. Let’s look at a few examples of ways it could help your teams:

Familiarity

Microsoft Office has been around for a long time, and this means that many of your staff will already be familiar with the way it works. This will save you the time and cost of training staff in complex new software packages, and means they can continue their work without the need to stop and learn, which maintains and increases productivity across the team.

Cross-platform compatibility

Microsoft Office can be with you and your employees where ever you are. With new smartphone and tablet apps for Android and iOS devices and Office online, your employees will now be able to access their files and work where ever they, when ever they need to. This not only increases productivity, but also improves client/customer relations and drives sales, with your data sheets and other documents accessible on the road or in a sales meeting away from the office. Cross-platform compatibility also streamlines your work process and allows for more remote and flexible working, improving the morale of your team.

Communication

The Suite also comes with communication software solutions – Microsoft Outlook has been updated and redesigned and includes many new and enhanced features.  Also featuring cross-platform compatibility, Outlook will let your employees synchronise their emails to their own portable devices, and with an in-built calendar they’ll never be late for a meeting or miss a deadline again. The quick and secure Office offers instant communication within your team, and with the smartphone and tablet apps your team can speak to each other where ever they are – they’ll never struggle to meet a deadline aagain!

Training your staff in the finer points of the Microsoft Office suite will improve overall team performance and help the growth of your individual workers. If you’re teams are in need of a boost, train them in the use of the Microsoft Office suite, and watch their productivity, efficiency and overall performance improve.
