How to Use Microsoft Shifts in Teams

 

With an incredible Phone System, Microsoft Teams is already better than traditional VoIP services that have become staples of businesses around the world over the past 20 years.

While Microsoft Teams is useful for office work, the group of innovators behind Teams has ensured that the value of Microsoft Teams isn’t lost when workers leave the cubicle. Shift workers in companies across a variety of industries are able to leverage the power of Microsoft Teams to enhance team collaboration to work smarter, not harder.

Keeping track of shift-based schedules can often be a hassle for both managers and workers alike. For managers, organizing workers and ensuring that none are double-booked or over-worked. For workers, keeping track of what shifts you’re scheduled to work each day can seem like its own full-time job – especially if scheduling is inconsistent. “Shifts” in Microsoft Teams is a tool that not only shares schedules with the entire team, but also allows for timekeeping, note sharing, work groups and more.

Instead of getting caught up in the logistics of shift work, Microsoft Teams streamlines the entire process to keep you informed throughout every step of the workweek from schedule planning to day-of executions.

When everyone on the team is on the same page, work just simply goes smoother. There are fewer questions, the end goals are clear, and everyone has an understanding of their role in the workflow. By partnering useful notes with scheduling information, employers can ensure that their workers have the knowledge that they need to maximize the value of each individual shift.
