There\u2019s been a lot written about how Microsoft\u2019s huge turnaround under Satya Nadella is the result of a culture change. When we analyze the things that drive culture and look for ways we can support other organizations who are making changes of their own, we consistently find that IT has an outsized number of opportunities to positively impact employee sentiment and loyalty\u2014both of which are critical parts of any organization\u2019s cultural transformation.<\/p>\n

Improving employee sentiment and employee loyalty is also a critical way for an organization to attract winning talent. When workers have a modern workplace experience that is connected, flexible, and empowering, it sends a clear signal that they\u2019re valued and they work for a forward-leaning organization.<\/p>\n

Cultivating and positively reinforcing these attributes within your workforce is obviously valuable, but to make these changes replicable and actionable among our customers worldwide, we needed to study and quantify how this happens. We worked closely<\/a> with leading experience management company, Qualtrics, as they\u2019ve exhaustively studied how to do this.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what we learned.<\/p>\n

Modernize the workplace experience<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s not particularly revolutionary to say that some of the most advanced tools for productivity and user experience are found in Microsoft 365<\/strong><\/a>. This platform empowers users to work anywhere across their devices\u2014and it has been built to meet and exceed the needs and expectations of users, IT, and security, so that it is valuable to every stakeholder in your organization. I like to refer to Microsoft 365 as loved by users, loved by IT, and trusted by all<\/em>.<\/p>\n

To really make the most of Microsoft 365 value, we worked with organizations to help them modernize their workplace experiences by deploying Microsoft 365 through our Microsoft Managed Desktop<\/a> service. With Microsoft Managed Desktop, we manage these PCs on behalf of the customers<\/a>, and they use Microsoft 365 as the foundation for their productivity\/management\/security. This setup is something I call \u201cMicrosoft 365 native.\u201d<\/p>\n
