STAY CONNECTED TO YOUR TEAM IN A REMOTE WORKING WORLD?
Microsoft has just unveiled Viva which is an ‘employee experience platform’. As you would expect it still encompasses Teams and Microsoft 365, which are a must-have for any remote working team as they facilitate collaboration – which in–turn increases productivity.
“Viva brings together everything an employee needs to be successful, from day one, in a single, integrated experience directly in Teams”
The world of work has changed exponentially in the last year and it would seem that Microsoft has got a good gauge on ‘the human condition’. The team here at Inturi have been remote working throughout the pandemic and I think without Teams, our team would have become fractured and demoralised.
WHAT WILL VIVA BRING TO YOUR TEAM?
Viva focuses on the daily needs of employees at work by integrating even more of a company’s employee experience tools – so employees can be empowered to be their best.
Using Teams and Microsoft 365, Viva unifies across – Engagement, Wellbeing, Learning and Knowledge.
Jared Spataro, corporate vice president,
Microsoft 365 says,
“As the world of work changes, the next horizon of innovation will come from a focus on creativity, engagement and wellbeing so organizations can build cultures of resilience and ingenuity.”
The initial set of modules in Viva are:
VIVA CONNECTIONS

VIVA INSIGHTS
The Viva Insights app in Teams and the new Glint and Viva Insights dashboard are now available in public preview.

MS Viva Insights
Personal experiences and insights, visible only to the employee, help individuals protect time for regular breaks, focused work and learning, as well as strengthen relationships with their colleagues.
Managers and leaders can see trends at team and organization level, as well as recommendations to better balance productivity and wellbeing. The insights are aggregated and deidentified by default to maintain personal privacy. In addition, a new dashboard allows organizations to combine employee feedback from LinkedIn’s Glint with collaboration data from Viva Insights, enabling leaders to more accurately identify where teams may be struggling, proactively adjust work norms, and then quantify the impact of those changes over time.
In addition to using data and signals from Microsoft apps, customers will also be able to incorporate data from third-party services like Zoom, Slack, Workday and SAP SuccessFactors.
