Microsoft 365 Copilot rollout to colleagues
Kier gave Microsoft 365 Copilot to thousands of staff under a new three-year Microsoft agreement
Problem
Kier employs about 10,000 people across site and office roles on hundreds of UK projects. It wanted everyday tools that help colleagues work faster.
Approach
Kier signed a new three-year agreement with Microsoft. It covers Microsoft 365 Copilot for thousands of colleagues and Teams Premium licences for the full workforce. Learning and development teams built training to support adoption.
Results
Takeaway
Kier reported colleague confidence with AI, not usage or time saved. The productivity claim so far rests on a statement from the chief executive.
