Get more value from your Office 365 investments with Workplace Analytics


You’re a strategic partner to the business. You’ve invested in Microsoft technology to help transform the way people work and improve the way your business runs. Microsoft Workplace Analytics offers a way for you to align even more closely with business strategy by harvesting new value from your existing Office 365 investments. Using data from everyday work in Office 365, Workplace Analytics delivers insights into the collaboration patterns that influence business outcomes. Here are three new ways that you can drive change in your organization.


Free up capacity. Businesses underestimate the amount of inefficiency that can be eradicated from knowledge work. Yet, until today, quantifying knowledge worker productivity has been difficult. Use new insights based on Office 365 data to uncover wasteful practices that create complexity, confusion, and unnecessary expense.


Other questions Workplace Analytics can answer to free up capacity:

  1. Do people have enough time to innovate?
  2. Are some activities or roles redundant?
  3. Can I identify and quantify inefficiencies in human process?


Improve manager effectiveness. Managers are responsible for 70% of the variance in employee engagement.  Workplace Analytics can help you determine management behaviors that lead to more engaged employees and higher performance. You can use these benchmarks to create best practices that empower all your managers to develop better teams by using data. Effective management programs increase engagement and reduce turnover—and you can measure the success and adoption of these programs in real-time with Workplace Analytics.


Answer tough questions about how your managers affect your organization:

  1. How much load do managers put on their organizations?
  2. Do manager behaviors influence employee work-life balance?
  3. What do new hires need from managers to be successful?


Supercharge the data you already have. Combine data about your most important business outcomes with behavioral analytics. You can exponentially increase the value of the data you already have (like customer satisfaction, revenue, and employee engagement) so that you can better understand—and even predict—the results that matter most to your business.


Answer questions about critical outcomes:

  1. What employee behaviors lead to disengagement?
  2. Can I predict customer satisfaction levels?
  3. Can we optimize physical space for better collaboration?
