How do you engage and get your team started with #Teams #quickly and efficiently?
#TeamsTuesday got you a few best practices to start with:
Find out
- What of your team’s work can be transferred to Teams easily? Consider communicating, working with files or notes,
- #QuickStart: team internal emails, communications, files, memos and tasks
Agree with your team
- Common rules of use with your team: what ends, what changes,
- Let them know of benefits (#WIIFM), what you expect , how you expect them to use teams
- Expectation management: response time, meaning on @mentions
- That fun and lighter mood is ok (emojis, memes, gifs,..)
Provide and Demand
- Ensure they know how to use Teams: Train, show examples, coach, hand out tips
- Make sure they have working notification settings and they use mobile app
- Don’t allow returning to old ways
- Demand that they stick to agreed rules
Praise and feedback
- Don’t forget to praise and give positive feedback
- Ask for feedback, both successes and fails
- What works and what does not work
Adjust as needed
Sharing is Caring! #CommunityRocks
