Microsoft has recently been rolling out a range of resources for companies moving into the new era of work. Following the release of the WorkLab platform for insights into the future of work, Microsoft has also announced Viva this week – a new solution intended to support employee experience.
Microsoft Viva is a solution built for the digital era of work, connecting knowledge, communications, resources, learning experiences, and insights. The immersive solution aims to empower teams and individuals to achieve their best work, no matter where they are.
Microsoft created Viva after seeing how much the workplace has evolved over the last year. The platform has a host of learning experiences available to help combat common issues like meeting fatigue and problems with work/life balance.
Embracing the Power of People
According to Microsoft, the Viva solution helps users to reimagine and improve the experience that their employees have in this new digital landscape. Focusing on the power of people, and the issues that everyday users face, the toolset helps employees to accomplish more. Whether your business is embracing the hybrid work environment, or moving fully remote, Viva promises to help drive better engagement and productivity in the workforce.
The Microsoft Viva offering is packed with a variety of tools for users to explore. An integrated system of employee experience solutions includes:
- Viva Connections: Viva Connections is a personalized gateway to modern employee experience which appears in the devices and apps employees use each day – like Microsoft Teams. You can use Connections to deliver a curated and branded hub for news, resources, and conversations that support your employees wherever they are
- Viva Insights: Through Viva Insights, Microsoft aims to nurture wellbeing and better outcomes for all employees. The Insights feature offers personal statistics that are visible only to the individual using the platform. For leader and manager insights into employees, customers get extra safeguards like de-identification and differential privacy
- Viva Learning: This central hub for education where employees can share, discover, assign, and learn from content libraries throughout an organisation. Viva Learning assists business leaders with a simpler and more efficient onboarding process
- Viva Topics: The Topics service from Viva helps to reduce wasted time searching for available information with the help of AI. Viva Topics organises content across teams and systems in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, to make information easier to find and use. The feature is already available now
Users can discover the benefits of the new Viva experience for themselves through the Microsoft Viva microsite. The site also offers insights, blogs, videos, and articles designed to support companies embracing the Viva system.
