Microsoft 365 Copilot for corporate workflows
Taylor Wimpey reported 90% monthly active use of Microsoft 365 Copilot
Problem
Taylor Wimpey employees spent time searching internal information and handling repetitive office work. Complex contract reviews could take several days.
Approach
The housebuilder began with a 300-user Copilot trial inside Microsoft 365. Participants accepted a usage policy and completed introductory training. Staff used it to search SharePoint and review documents, while the company reassigned unused licences and developed role-specific training.
Results
Takeaway
High usage followed sustained training and active licence management. The active-user rate measured adoption rather than verified productivity gains.
