The challenge facing many organisations today is the need to continuously improve employee engagement and business performance in the next gen AI world. To combat this, Microsoft Viva brings together the tools and applications your business needs for communication and feedback, analytics, goals, and learning, all in one unified solution.
Powered by Microsoft 365 and accessible via Teams, Microsoft Viva is an employee experience platform that combines communication with knowledge, learning, insights, and resources to ensure your teams have the best experience possible, regardless of location. The ability to connect each element of an employee’s working day is what makes this tool so special. From emails and calls to internal communications and goal setting, Microsoft Viva gives leaders the opportunity to understand employee needs and provide everything they need to work efficiently.

Microsoft Viva has been designed to tap into every element of the employee experience, enabling organisations to target specific pain points and make changes to improve the working day.
The result? A more productive, positive and engaged workforce.
