Are your teams making the most of the digital tools they already have?
Many businesses already pay for Microsoft tools but only use a fraction of their functionality. Small improvements in how teams collaborate, manage files, communicate and use data can create meaningful productivity gains.
SME's can now access subsidised 50 minute one-to-one digital coaching sessions delivered by SEATS and supported by Thurrock Council.
The sessions are designed for SME's that need practical support rather than a full training programme.
✔ 50-minute online coaching sessions
✔ Tailored one-to-one support
✔ Focused on real business challenges
✔ £10 + VAT per session
✔ Limited to 50 subsidised places
