The focus will be collaboration,
communication, creativity, employee
well-being, and satisfaction.
To illustrate the benefits, this short
report draws on Microsoft’s customer
success stories.
This short report aims to analyse the
differences between organisations
that provide technology training and

Microsoft 365 tools foster a culture of

Microsoft’s customer success story
with BDO Canada underscores this
impact, highlighting a 20% increase in

employee satisfaction.
