Bringing Teams Home

Microsoft Teams may be our number one tool for collaborating and efficiency when in the office, but with newly added features, we can now take it home as well. Microsoft Teams are aiming to make everyone’s lives simpler, driving communication in multiple different fields.  

Chat and Call friends and family right from your desktop 

Since remote work began earlier in the year, we are all spending significantly longer on our desktops and devices. Due to this rise, we often lose track of when work finishes and ends, disrupting work–life balance.  

Teams is trying to change that, with the addition of your personal Teams account to your desktop which can work side by side your work account. This will allow you to stay in touch with your family and friends through the same device, saving the time and effort of switching devices. Teams will automatically sync all your chats and calls from either device so you can catch up with your family on the go or from the comfort of your own home.  

Having staff that are refreshed and connected outside of work is extremely important to their performance. Supporting staff to achieve a healthy work-life balance can help create more productive and more efficient staff when working. If staff feel like they are constantly working or don’t have time to catch up with people outside of work it can severely impact their performance and work burnout can occur.
