Most companies already pay for the automation tools they need to streamline workflows, but either aren’t aware of their existence or how to take advantage. In this episode, Samantha, who leads learning and development lead at WorkSmart, shares some of the hidden tools like Power Automate in Microsoft 365 packages that many companies already pay for.
Samantha Burks brings 15 years of diverse experience in education, teaching students ranging from pre-K to high school and pre-service teachers, both domestically and internationally, before joining WorkSmart to focus on learning and development.
