Many organisations start with Workspace 365 as an application portal, a secure place where people log in once and open all their tools. That’s already a big step forward from juggling multiple logins and bookmarks.
But if that’s all you use it for, you’re missing out on most of what your digital workplace can do. A modern digital workplace isn’t just a list of apps. It’s the place where your day begins, where communication flows, and where tasks get done.
If you already have Workspace 365, you have the tools to make that shift today. Let’s explore how.
Move beyond access: centralise communication
If your digital workplace is only a set of app icons, people still have to jump between email, chat tools, and shared drives to get updates. That means important information can get lost, and people spend more time searching than doing.
By using the intranet features in Workspace 365, you bring updates, knowledge, and conversations into one central place. This means people don’t have to leave their workspace to stay informed and connected.
You can:
-
Share targeted Announcements so the right people see the right updates.
-
Keep a Knowledge base as your single source of truth.
-
Publish Events to highlight training, activities, or important dates.
-
Create Communities where teams and interest groups can connect.
-
Use the Address book to quickly find colleagues and contact them.
-
Add the Birthday app for a personal touch.
-
Connect the Document app to SharePoint, OneDrive, and file servers so files are always up to date.
When everything is in one place, it’s easier to share knowledge, keep people informed, and make them feel part of what’s happening in your organisation.
Turn tasks into a clear daily view
Access and communication are just the start. A truly modern digital workplace helps you take action on what matters most, without wasting time chasing tasks across multiple systems.
When approvals, requests, and updates are spread across different tools, it’s harder to prioritise and easier for things to slip through the cracks. Workspace 365 brings these workflows into one clear, role-based overview so people can focus on what’s important and act immediately.
This means:
-
Role-based task overviews show each person what matters to them.
-
Integrated notifications keep approvals and sign-offs visible until they’re done.
-
Live tiles pull actions from your existing tools directly into the workspace.
-
Real-time updates keep priorities fresh without constant refreshing.
-
Use Global Search to find anything from company policies to project documents in seconds.
The result is a workspace that helps people focus on their work, not on where to find it.
Get the most out of your digital workplace
Your digital workplace can be more than a place to open applications. By bringing communication, knowledge, and daily tasks into Workspace 365, you create a space that supports people throughout their day.
It’s where updates are easy to find, documents are always up to date, and tasks are visible when they matter. No switching between tools, no chasing information, just one place to focus on work.
If you’re using Workspace 365 mainly for application access today, you already have the features to take it further. Start by adding communication tools, connecting your documents, and showing tasks in your digital workplace. Small steps can make a big difference, helping everyone work more efficiently and feel more connected.
