Managing remote workers brings unique challenges compared to teams being together in an office setting.

Executives that are not modernizing their workplace, digitally transforming their company, or improving their customer experiences will surely struggle to keep their business competitive. Solutions like Microsoft® Teams offer leaders a viable option as part of their technical evolution.

You can’t simply get up and walk to a co-worker’s desk to ask them a question now, but you also don’t want to clutter up their email inbox. Productivity applications and platforms like Slack, Skype and Microsoft Teams are here to help. The main issue is deciding which one is right for your team and how you will manage the change with your group to ensure performance levels remain high.

Unpredictability has now become more of a norm than most companies would like. There’s exciting change, and then there’s unplanned, “what does this mean for us” change. As change leaders, it’s important for us to not only understand the change but communicate it effectively and impactfully to our teams.

Digital transformation, mergers & acquisitions and modern workplace development are all lofty objectives for today’s executive. Enabling the workforce to utilize the resources offered to them is the difference between success and failure of these shifts.
