Unlock the potential of your organization-large or small-with Viva Insights. Prioritize employee experience to drive organizational success.
Unlocking the full potential of your workforce begins with prioritizing employee well-being and nurturing a positive employee experience. Supporting employees’ health has become increasingly important in the wake of the pandemic, with Microsoft’s Work Trend Index highlighting that 53% of workers now prioritize their health and well-being over work. Amidst today’s increasingly dynamic and demanding work environments, businesses of all sizes need a solution for keeping an eye on the pulse of their team. Enter Viva Insights, an innovative platform that empowers employees to take control of how they work and equips leaders to stay in -touch with their employees, fostering a productive work environment, increasing collaboration, and building effective leadership.
In today's fast-paced and demanding work environment, employees constantly juggle multiple responsibilities and roles while facing tight deadlines and a never-shrinking workload. On top of this, opportunities for employees to give feedback are slim, with 57% of businesses not actively soliciting their employees for criticism. This struggle and lack of support can strain employees' mental and physical health without proper support and attention. Sadly, without visibility into our team's well-being, organizations and leaders risk many negative short and long-term outcomes: higher turnover rates, lower morale, and eventually, decreased performance, innovation, and satisfaction. For smaller businesses and startups, these negative outcomes can be especially damaging. By leveraging Viva Insights, organizations both large and small can more effectively support work-life balance, provide stress-mitigating resources, and promote a healthier, happier work environment.
In Microsoft's Work Trend Index survey, 85% of leaders claim the shift to hybrid work has made it challenging to have confidence that employees are being productive. With Viva Insights, leaders can have constant confidence, with key employee information right at their fingertips. Viva Insights continuously captures valuable information about employees’ day-to-day work habits: meeting durations, peak working hours, collaboration frequency, email-communication patterns, focus times, and many more are meticulously analyzed. Viva Insights uses this data to create relevant actionable insights for organizations, so they can better understand their work habits and identify bottlenecks. By equipping organizations with tools to make informed data-driven decisions, they can strive to streamline processes, eliminate inefficiencies, and drive productivity and high-quality work. At the individual level, Viva Insights provides recommendations to employees tailored to their work habits, like setting aside time for deep work or scheduling breaks for recharging. Although these changes are small, they are impactful and yield significant productivity gains when practiced across organizations.
While employees are the heart of any successful organization, collaboration and connection are the lifeblood. Nurturing effective collaboration within small and large businesses has become most salient in today’s digital era, where remote work and virtual teams are creating gaps between employees and leaders. Viva Insights effectively bridges this gap by providing organizations with data-driven solutions to improve their collaborative dynamics. With Viva Insights, leaders can gain an understanding of how employees work together; from the frequency of their interactions to the effectiveness of communication channels, Viva Insights arms leaders with the knowledge they need to fine-tune collaboration strategies and craft an environment of open communication, trust, and innovation.

Viva Insights empowers leaders to recognize and acknowledge the contributions and achievements of individual team members and praise them within the app, strengthening a positive relationship. Microsoft’s Work Trend Index reveals that building these relationships is the toughest challenge of today’s hybrid-work environment according to 43% of leaders. With Viva Insights in their arsenal, leaders can command with confidence; while nurturing the growth of their teams, fostering employee engagement, strengthening positive employee relationships, and steering organizations toward long-term success.
