New features in Microsoft Teams
Just two years after launch, Teams has 13 million active daily users and 19 million active users per week. The company also announced the new features available in Microsoft Teams for each employee, including new ways to support healthcare organizations and employees who have direct customer contact. Additional integration of new partners includes support for support centers, compliance, and cloud service providers.
The new capabilities available in Microsoft Teams support the ability to work under the pressure of time. In the field of health care, Teams is an essential hub in coordinating patient care. Prior notifications warn recipients of messages that require an immediate response until a response is received. Notifications are sent over two minutes, up to 20 minutes, on your mobile device or desktop.
New Teams also help employees who have direct contact with clients to better manage their program and be in touch with other colleagues. Based on the capabilities already in the Teams, the new Time Clock feature allows employees to record their work and work time even through the mobile application. This feature is found in the Shifts in Teams module and allows managers to create and share work schedules with the team, giving employees the opportunity to request easier free time or changes to work schedules.

Updating aims to reduce costs and increase the efficiency of nonprofit organizations by increasing data transparency, simplified implementation of solutions and increased operability within systems
