Microsoft Viva is an integrated employee experience platform (EXP) that seamlessly integrates with Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Teams. It’s designed to enhance communication, knowledge sharing, learning, and insights within organisations.
The apps that make up Microsoft Viva are:

Viva Connections: A personalised gateway to company resources, news, and announcements within Microsoft Teams tailored to employees’ role and interests.

Viva Engage: Encourages community building and knowledge sharing, allowing employees to connect with leaders and colleagues across the business.

Viva Amplify: Manage, publish and analyse internal campaigns across multiple channels from one central platform.

Viva Goals: Align teams to organisational objectives using the OKR framework, and helps employees set and track goals to promote clarity and focus.

Viva Insights: Provides data-driven insights into work patterns, productivity, and wellbeing.

Viva Pulse: Empowers managers to gather timely feedback from their teams, providing actionable insights for team improvement.

Viva Glint: Known as the “voice of the employee,” it helps organisations understand and enhance employee engagement through comprehensive surveys.

Viva Learning: Enables continuous learning by integrating training content from various sources directly into the flow of work in Teams.

Microsoft Viva makes it easier for organisations to deliver a first-class digital employee experience by bringing all the tools needed under one roof. This also has cost and security benefits, allowing organisations to consolidate workplace platforms.

Making use of the tools within the Viva suite can lead to improved efficiency, faster onboarding, reduced attrition, and increased agility.
