Just make sure you have the Outlook app installed on either your work or personal device and sign in using your work credentials, authenticating with your mobile when prompted.

Assuming you have the app installed and have signed into your Outlook account, do the following sync contacts.
- Open the Outlook App
- Tap the menu icon at the top left of the screen
- Tap the settings cog at the bottom left of the screen
- Tap on your account with the orange Office 365 symbol next to it
- Toggle the sync contacts option and ensure it's enabled and highlighted blue
