Welcome to Teams everyone! Teams is a new workplace where we can collaborate, share ideas and questions and prepare for our colleagues, currently over at the Council, to join us in the next few weeks. Everyone in YHN will soon be starting to use Teams in their service, so it will become pretty familiar very soon and I’m sure everyone will get the hang of it. ICT will also be offering some training sessions in the coming weeks and months. Once our colleagues from the Council arrive, everyone from the Enquiry Centre will be added to our site to join in the conversation and share useful information.
Help if you need it… Just a reminder of how you get into Teams - you can access it via the intranet homepage. Click on the waffle in the top left-hand corner (it looks like nine dots forming a square) and then select the Teams icon which looks like this Once you’re in Teams you’ll see ‘YHN – Prj – Call and Enquiry Centre’ on the left-hand side. This is our Team. Click the link and join in from there! To help you use Teams there’s a demo and video training link in the tabs along the top. The ‘Conversations’ bit works a lot like WhatsApp, but please give me, Jackie, Eve or Elaine a shout if you’re not sure what to do.
What’s in Teams and how can I use it? Use the ‘Conversations’ tab to ask any questions, particularly if you have any comments or suggestions about our team expanding and how we can welcome our new colleagues. For any specific questions you have about the Enquiry Centre review or the formal TUPE process, please come to me directly as we have a separate process for this. We’ve also put some useful videos in the ‘files’ section just as a reminder about YHN’s new Business Strategy Destination-22, which will be launched in April, and our values so that we are all up to speed with this.
