StaffHub: How to Provide Files and Training Material via the Mobile App to Firstline Workers

  • Article

Introduction: The average firstline worker (doctor, nurse, barista ,retail employee, manufacturing worker, etc) will often not have access to enterprise IT services such as SharePoint, and other Office 365 services. This can be challenging especially when a new employee is onboarded and needs to take required training, or when important documents need to be distributed to employees. The Microsoft StaffHub app can help provide the connectivity and access to these resources for that firstline worker to use – right through the mobile application.

The purpose of this blog post will show how a manager can upload files to Staffhub and how an employee can access those files via the mobile app.

Login to StaffHub as a Manager:

As a manager, log into the StaffHub web application by browsing to https://staffhub.ms
