Here is our weekly tech tips video about – Are your team still working at 10pm?

Have you noticed when your teamwork remotely, they often finish later than usual office hours?

It’s easy to keep working when your commute is just a few steps.

But the boss of Microsoft says we should be setting clear expectations for our people, that they don’t need to respond to late-night emails or work at weekends.

Satya Nadella recently announced the results of an internal survey. A third of Microsoft workers have a daily peak of work at 10pm.

Their average workday has increased by 46 minutes since the pandemic started. And time spent on out of hours work is up by 28 per cent.

Nadella says the best way to increase productivity is to look after your staff’s overall wellbeing.

An easy win is to make sure they’re not stressed by replying to emails late at night when they should be relaxing or spending time with their family.

As the boss, you can set an example. Instead of sending emails at night, schedule them to be sent the following morning.

Our email wasn’t performing very well so we asked Hamilton Systems to take a look & Carl proposed to migrate us to MS Exchange.

Carl was very helpful throughout & the migration went very well.

He was on hand to sort out any teething issues, taking calls early morning & into the night, to ensure we were up & running smoothly.

Would recommend for knowledge, attention to detail & great customer service.”
