Microsoft’s tool called Viva is designed to enhance the remote work experience through modules that revolve around connections, knowledge, topics, and learning.
This is a first platform that offers employees the possibility of incorporating communication, wellness, learning and knowledge discovery tools into the remote workflow.
This platform is integrated into Teams and Microsoft 365, and is based on four modules: Connections, Knowledge, Topics, and Learning. As of this Thursday, an initial set of modules is available, although the rest will arrive throughout this year, as the company explains in a statement.
Viva Topics displays topic cards with related documents, conversations, videos and people, generated by AI from services such as Teams or Microsoft 365 applications.
For its part, Viva Connections is presented as a dashboard with which the worker can access internal communications and company resources, as well as participate in groups with other employees.
Another module, Viva Insights, collects data from the experience of employees to manage breaks, the time they focus on work and learning, as well as relationships with colleagues. The information will be available to organizational leaders, who will be able to see trends at the team and organization level and “tips to better balance productivity and well-being.”
Lastly, the Viva Learning module delves into employee learning and development. It collects in one place the different resources that the organization makes available to employees. “Users can discover, share, assign and track a wide variety of courses as a natural part of the workday,” they point out from Microsoft.
