Microsoft Viva
As more people work in hybrid ways, organisations face new difficulties in keeping their workforce engaged, motivated, and learning, especially when they are more dispersed and busier than ever.
Microsoft Viva is a unified platform for employee experience that works within Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Teams, which lets you foster connection, insight, purpose, and growth in your organisation using your current infrastructure.
Microsoft Viva provides digital employee experiences that are designed for the future of work, and enhance employee growth, purpose, wellbeing, and connection. This boosts employee performance and productivity, helping to reduce employee turnover.

Viva Connections lets you access the tools, news, and resources that your organisation offers on a dashboard inside Teams on your desktop or on your mobile device. For instance, your organisation may have cards that give you quick access to things like your payslip, timetables, training tasks, and more. What you get will vary depending on what your organisation has set up.
Viva Engage (previously called Yammer) can be accessed through Teams or the web. It lets you connect with people in your organisation, such as leaders, colleagues, and groups. Participate in communities and exchange thoughts, stories, and inquiries. You can also make your own communities. When you do that, you become an owner of that community by default.
Boost your productivity and wellbeing with insights and recommendations based on data and privacy protection. With the Viva Insights app, you’ll get suggestions to enhance your wellbeing, such as setting a day without meetings, finding time to focus, and finding time for learning. You’ll also see a productivity overview of your meetings, meeting quality, and improvement tips. Viva Insights also shows you information like how much time you collaborate with co-workers, your communication patterns, and more.
Viva Glint is a feedback tool that your organisation’s leaders use regularly to measure how well the organisation is doing and how happy and satisfied you are. When you share your opinions, your organisation can quickly see how you feel as an employee and they can make plans to improve your experience and happiness.
You can respond to short, fast surveys to provide feedback when your managers, leaders, and coworkers ask for it. You can quickly express your opinions and advice and help managers identify the strengths and areas of improvement over time.
Explore learning content from your organisation and other sources like Microsoft, LinkedIn, and more while you work. You can find courses that suit your interests, see suggestions based on your profile, see what kind of learning courses are popular in your organisation, and share content with colleagues.
Discover and share knowledge within your organisation on topics, projects, products, processes, and customers. The content consists of topic pages and topic centres that are generated and maintained by AI.
Viva Goals is a tool to help you match your organisation’s strategic priorities, help achieve results and measure your impact. It uses Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) that your organisation, department, and teams create. As an individual, you can have your own OKRs that you can monitor and update and see how you’re supporting your organisation goals.
