Staying on the pulse - how to improve employee experience with Viva Pulse
Hybrid work has - maybe surprisingly - made the work more siloed than before. It has also widened the gap between the employees and the leaders. How are you doing? How are you really doing? Staying on the pulse takes a lot of effort. With Viva Pulse, it's a tad easier. Viva Pulse is just not another survey tool - it is built to provide continuous feedback with actionable insights.
By attending this session, you will gain a comprehensive knowledge of Viva Pulse from the manager and end-user points of view. We go through best practices and use cases for Viva Pulse and see how it integrates into the everyday work-life in Teams. I'll share lessons learned from real life, and you will be able to determine whether Viva Pulse might be the right tool for your team or organisation. We will not deep-dive into the admin side.

SharePoint is a full-blooded document management system - and I can prove it!
The past 8 years doing document management with SharePoint have taught me that people still have the impression that SharePoint is not a proper document management system. I'm here to change that. In this session, I will share my insights through demos on all the features that make SharePoint a valid document management system.
The following document management topics are included:
- Microsoft Syntex & metadata
- Document sets
- Document numbering
- Commenting
- Version history and revisions
- Approvals
- External sharing
- Search
- Security & labelling
Harnessing M365 and AI for productivity, wellbeing, and digital debt reduction
According to the Work Trend Index studies, 64% of people struggle with the overwhelming inflow of data, emails, meetings, and notifications, leaving them with limited time and energy to do their jobs. The lack of innovation and breakthrough ideas is a growing concern for leaders in today's fast-paced digital landscape. How can the digital tools in M365 help us to reduce the digital debt, the inflow of data, emails, meetings, and notifications? Is AI going to save us all or do we still need to do something ourselves?
In this session, we will go through the digital tools in M365 that can help you with managing your workload, improving productivity, and reducing digital debt. We will explore the features and functionalities through demos and real life examples in Teams, Viva Insights, Outlook and To Do, and take a look on how Microsoft Copilot can automate repetitive tasks, provide intelligent suggestions, and streamline workflows, ultimately freeing up valuable time and mental energy.
From this session, you will gain insights, practical tips, and real-life examples how to navigate the information overflow challenges as a knowledge worker, optimize your productivity, and foster a healthier and more innovative digital work environment.
