Adopting Microsoft Teams for the purposes of training new and existing employees — whether remote or in the office — is a natural choice for many organizations. You and your team may be quite familiar with Microsoft solutions, and the organization benefits from native integrations with Microsoft 365 and enhanced Outlook integration.
Still, not every employee will have that experience, and this is where Teams' broad integration across other platforms becomes essential.
For all its benefits, moving to Microsoft Teams will require a shift in mindset for most HR teams. First, collaboration is real-time; sharing no longer needs to be incremental as document versions are completed, but as ongoing works in progress.
The second important mindset shift is related to managing the platform itself. Microsoft Teams gives team owners the ability to make substantial changes to the Team structure without IT involvement. This reduces the burden on IT while making it easier for managers to have their team meet, create cohesion and ensure employees are informed and properly trained.
Many Teams customers are taking advantage of integrating training and development directly within the Teams app. By leveraging a central learning hub directly within Teams, not only are you modernizing self-learning, but you're also encouraging adoption of Microsoft Teams across your organization.
