Many recognise the feeling of working often on an island (working from home, quiet landscape offices, email-driven work) with little contact and communication with colleagues.

The need to work together in one team requires open communication and a shared space to collaborate efficiently. With Microsoft Teams, we can share our knowledge, questions and experiences to achieve results and strengthen collegiality.

• What does it mean and what are the benefits of a team?
• How a digital tool like Microsoft Teams helps with team collaboration

What is communication?

• What are the benefits and pitfalls of open communication?
• What agreements can you make about open communication in Teams?

• Improving collegiality with Teams

How do you communicate assertively with Teams?

• Communicating assertively and respectfully so that the core of the message comes across properly
• Choose your communication channel: what do you say in a channel? What do you say via chat? What do you say via voice?

Working together = communicating & sharing

• Who do you give access to which team?
• How do you organise channels?
• Which tabs will you use within your channels? What agreements will you make on the use of tabs?
• What files will you put in teams and how will you use them?
