8 Hacks to Make Your Microsoft Teams Workspace Smarter1. Add guestsIf you have freelancers of temporary hires in your team, you can easily add them as guests and allow them to collaborate with you easily. Guests can participate in conversations and meetings and do the same functions as anyone else your team— share files, add new channels, etc.To be a guest, they need an email with an Office 365 account. You can then add them to your team using their email address.Of course, guests cannot do certain actions like viewing your organization chart, creating a team, adding an app, or sharing a channel file.2. Use actions and commandsTeams allows you to use easy shortcuts to simplify your work as you navigate through your workspace. These shortcuts save you time and help you find what you’re looking for easily. Here are some shortcuts:@WikipediaThis allows you to do a Wikipedia search. The results show a summary that you can click on to go to the full Wikipedia page./gotoIf you have a lot of teams or channels, hop straight to the team or channel you want with this shortcut./filesSee your recent files by showing you a list of all files that you can search through rather than having to click around your teams./keysThis is a shortcut to show shortcuts./callWith this short, you can start a call with one person by typing out their name. The shortcut is especially helpful if you have a large number of people in your workspace./helpUse the T-Bot and ask questions to the Teams helpdesk with the shortcut./savedThis takes you straight to your list of saved messages.3. Save messages or bookmarkYou can save specific messages for later reference by clicking on the sash icon at the top of the message. All saved messages can be later viewed through the ‘Saved’ page under your profile picture or by typing ‘/saved’ in the command bar.4. Set up shift planning with AttendanceBotMicrosoft Teams has its shift planner but the planner works out of your spreadsheets. You can simplify your shift management by plugging in AttendanceBot onto your workspace. The bot provides a visual dashboard that you can use to plan shifts, replicate shift hours for an assigned person, and drag and drop your shifts to easily set up your dashboard.Your team members can easily query the bot on their Teams workspace about their upcoming shift hours.

Make channels privateYou can set up private channels for your team. This is useful when you want to collaborate on new ideas and projects or discuss sensitive information like employee offboarding, budgets, etc. Here’s a chart from Microsoft Teams about when you should create a private channel:Is there already a team that has these people as team members?Does this work need to be kept private from others?Are there multiple distinct topics to discuss?RecommendationYesYesYesCreate a private channel in the existing team or consider creating dedicated private channels for each topic.YesYesNoCreate a private channel in the existing team.YesNoNoCreate a channel in the existing team.NoNoNoConsider creating a new team.NoNoYesConsider creating a new team and then, depending on the confidentiality of each topic, consider creating separate standard or private channels for each topic.NoYesNoCreate a new team and consider creating a private channel.To create a private channel, click on the dots next to the team you want to add a channel to and select ‘Add channel’. When creating the channel, change the privacy to ‘Private’. Once saved, you can then add specific members to it.6. Set up meetings with people outside the workspaceHow do you conduct meetings with people outside your Microsoft Teams workspace? Many users don’t know this but you can host meetings on your workspace without requiring the attendees to be a part of your workspace.Set up an Outlook appointment and share the meeting via email with your participants. When they have to join, they can just choose ‘Join on web’ to participate in the meeting.This way, you can host all your meetings on the same platform, record these meetings, and avoid having to go through the hassle of setting up a third-party video conferencing app.7. Record your team meetingsYour workspace allows video and audio calls within the app, simplifying how you set up conference calls with your team members. However, one feature of these calls that will come handy to you is the ‘Record meeting’ functionality.When you start your call, you can click on the ‘Settings’ dots within the video/ audio call and select ‘Start recording’ to record your meetings and save them for later access. This is especially helpful if you are discussing many things in one call and need to go back later to reference it.8. Collaborate with VisioMicrosoft Visio allows you to create layouts, diagrams, and charts to help you create flowcharts, decision diagrams, playbooks, and even network diagramming. This app can simplify how you brainstorm and plan your work.With its integration onto Teams, you can easily collaborate on Visio files directly through your workspace. Once the file is shared, your team members can edit the file directly through the workspace, without having to open Visio.Make your Microsoft Teams smarter!

Interpersonal SkillsWearing many hats successfully requires strong interpersonal skills. The HR manager must interact with various types of people on a daily basis. Much of his day is spent interviewing prospective employees, attending budgeting meetings, addressing concerns from employees and management, and interacting with service providers, such as for healthcare and insurance benefits. Each time he comes into contact with people, he must relate to them so their questions are properly addressed and the employment sector of the company operates efficiently. He must be a “people person” who likes interacting with others.Objectivity and TactOne of the most crucial aspects of an HR manager’s job is the ability to display objectivity and tact. She is required to address conflicts among employees, conduct performance appraisals on her own subordinates and hire the right employee for each open position. These processes require her to be objective rather than emotional so she makes decisions that positively impact the company. She should have a detached point of view in each situation rather than allowing her personal feelings to sway her judgment. Further, she should deliver her words tactfully rather than brashly to avoid employees feeling hurt or disrespected.Fairness and ResolveAcute awareness of employment discrimination laws is paramount to avoid breaking them. Your HR manager should treat all employees equally by complying with discrimination regulations. He must be firm in his decision once he has weighed a situation and arrived at a conclusion. Fickleness or indecisiveness indicates a lack of resolve, which can cause employees to view him as soft.Approachable and CompassionateEmployees must feel they can approach the HR manager with their problems. They want to know that she truly listens to them and will help them find viable solutions to their issues. If an employee has a problem at work, it will likely affect his job performance. If the HR manager seems unapproachable, the employee will be reluctant to go to her. If she lacks compassion, he won’t trust her with his problem. This is particularly important to employee retention and productivity; workers often quit or become demotivated when they feel that HR or management doesn’t care about them.Leadership SkillsA good leader inspires his employees. He sets favorable examples for his employees to follow. For example, an employee who is admonished for frequently being late by a manager who is usually tardy himself can view the manager as hypocritical. HR managers are not exempt from company policies; if the manager follows them, the employees will be inclined to do so. An effective leader is also trustworthy. HR duties require confidentiality and the ability to keep employees’ personal information private. Your HR manager should have all the qualities of a good leader.ConsiderationsYour HR manager must have fine negotiation skills when making compensation offers to prospective employees or when trying to retain a valuable employee who has decided to resign. A keen sense of timing is also necessary to de-escalate conflicts before they become unmanageable. She should know what employees need to motivate them, as well as what the company requires to grow, and seek ways to achieve both. In short, the consummate HR manager is organized, able to multitask, discreet, team-oriented and forward-thinking -- a strategic planner, dedicated to constant improvement, ethical, impartial and dual-focused on the needs of the employee and the company.
