Cheers to our global gang! 🌍🌟 As the year draws to a close, we're giving a shoutout to the 13,000 amazing contributors on our platform. By leveraging Byron, the exchange within our company becomes more seamless, paving the way for new projects and strengthening our unity within Bayer. 🚀 Presenting this exclusive POAP as a massive thank you, because without you, this platform wouldn't be what it is. 🙌 Byron, an acronym for Bayer Open Network, is our Skills database for Bayer employees, including speed networking. We kicked off in 2018 as a True North grassroots side initiative, going live in 2020. Created by over 40 students and programming enthusiasts with the help of EY Croatia. Today, we have 13,000 registered users from 89 countries, in 293 cities. People have searched for something in Byron at least 25,000 times and engaged in 31,000 1:1 Speed network meetings. http://go/byron Looking ahead, we're thrilled about the future and the prospect of our community growing even larger. Can't wait for more collaborations and successes together in the coming year! 🎉✨ Art created by Lena Schermer

Dear colleagues, We would like to invite you to the first Q&A session for the participants of the MS Copilot evaluation. This session will provide an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have and to share your experiences so far. If you didn’t have a chance to experiment with Copilot yet, please have a look at our Teams channel for suggestions and inspirations. This POAP is to colleagues participating at this session.

You have participated in the voluntary Bayer NNOC Experience Space for IT in Building D162 on the 5th floor in Leverkusen between March 27 and 31, 2023. You have tested new ways of working - WOW! - in this new setup and worked with the different room modules and working areas for teams, individuals, hybrid and informal formats. You have also learned how to reserve rooms via go/nowspace and meeting rooms via Outlook. And how to use lockers and Hot Boxes (ouch!). Maybe you even used the Whiteboard or Microsoft Surface Hub. How daring! Well done you!
