Show Notes for Episode 23 - StaffHub in Review
In Episode 23, Michael and Brian review Microsoft's newest addition to the Office 365 service: StaffHub. Accessed by going to https://staffhub.office.com, StaffHub is targeted at providing a management solution focused on desk-less workers. Microsoft puts it this way: "Microsoft StaffHub is a cloud-based platform that works across all your devices. It enables staff workers and their managers to manage time, communicate with their teams, and share content." Let's throw out some more quotes from Microsoft about its functionality: "People can request time off, swap shifts, and communicate directly with coworkers. ... Managers can send messages to one person – or the entire team. Send schedule info, team news, or company announcements. ... Everyone can get access to the information they need to do their jobs." It's an interesting product, and will be compelling for many organizations. The SharePoint Sherpas discuss StaffHub's functionality and give their thoughts on the product.
