Most companies will in some way or the other relate to Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) as this technology will be immersed as part of all society structures. Services like Copilot for Microsoft 365 is one of the AI technologies and services many companies are implementing.
To successfully navigate the technology options and prepare for the future evolution of employee experiences like Copilot for Microsoft 365 it is important to embrace a #PeopleFirst strategy and a key for this is the human connection and building trust in and across an organization.
To succeed in building trust and human connection in the workplace of tomorrow, both the technical platforms and people need to be up to date. Data and how we work and communicate need to be structured, restructured and managed in a much larger degree than what happens in many companies today. AI and Microsoft Copilot turns the creative process upside down and can help improve both the complete employee experience as well as improve quality of work delivered, and in shorter time.

Microsoft Viva Engage is an employee experience that connects people across the company. It provides an experience where people can crowdsource answers and ideas, share their work and experience, and find belonging at work.

Structure or restructure your internal communications ecosystem
Traditionally internal communication platforms are email and a static intranet site, and perhaps different forum tools, either external social media or similar internal tools. The purpose of internal communication is to provide important and relevant information to everyone in the organization, when they need it or want it. Many times, the tools used for this purpose can become fragmented over time, and the employees experience to be overloaded with information they don’t need or want. This again can lead to extra stress and wasted time for the employees, which again affects how they thrive at work as well as their productivity. Understanding the full lifecycle of internal communications and the tools, including culture building, to make sure the right information is shared at the right time to the right people can inspire to an engaged community of employees, create trust across the organization, make work a good place to be, and make people proud and happy to be part of it.
