Digital Workplace

Day in the life – Remote Worker

Meet Anna, a product manager who uses Microsoft Teams with voice capabilities powered by Big Yellow Bee to collaborate and be more productive throughout her day from home or anywhere.

7:00 AM 

Anna starts her workday at home by checking her calendar to see what meetings she has for the day. 

8:00 AM 

Anna checks her Activity Feed in Teams to see if she has received any notifications that require any action. 

8:30 AM 

After her morning coffee, she joins a meeting in Teams with her colleagues to share status updates and plans for the week ahead. 

10:15 AM 

Anna starts a collaboration session with her colleague Mark on the PowerPoint presentation that she worked on yesterday and saves it to the channel in Teams. She @mentions her coworker Frank (who works in another region) so he can add his comments.

10:45 AM 

Because Frank is on the go, he opens the document in Teams mobile app and reviews the first draft of the presentation. Frank calls Anna on his mobile voice enabled Teams app and provides feedback on the presentation that needs to be shared with Anna’s colleague in the afternoon. 

1:00 PM 

A customer calls Anna at the office. Because the phone system with voice by Big Yellow Bee is 100% cloud based, the customer is easily connected via the automated attendant and totally unaware that Anna is working remotely.

1:30 PM 

Anna and Mark co-edit the presentation in real time. They easily work on one single version of the presentation together while changes are saved automatically! They then use Teams Meet Now to discuss next steps.

3:00 PM 

Anna schedules a channel meeting for the entire team to update them on the final presentation. She prepares by taking notes in OneNote and pins them in the channel for everyone to see. 

4:00 PM 

Anna has her 1:1 with her manager, Nancy. They connect directly in Teams and turn on video so they can see one another. It feels like a face-to-face meeting, even when working remotely.

5:00 PM 

At the end of the day, Anna calls one of her colleagues and shares the screen of her task list to make sure everything is up to date and catches up on the events of the day.
