Microsoft expands Microsoft Viva platform to connect employees to company culture, business goals and one another
SINGAPORE, Sept. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On Thursday, Microsoft Corp. released a Work Trend Index Pulse report, "Hybrid Work Is Just Work. Are We Doing It Wrong?" The company also announced new capabilities in Microsoft Viva, its employee experience platform, designed to help empower and energize employees in a time of economic uncertainty.
The data makes clear that hybrid work has created a growing disconnect between employees and leaders. They're at odds about what constitutes productivity, how to maintain autonomy while ensuring accountability, the benefits of flexibility and the role of the office. To bridge this gap, a new approach is needed that recognizes work is no longer just a place but an experience that needs to transcend time and space so employees can stay engaged and connected no matter where they are working.
"Thriving employees are what will give organizations a competitive advantage in today's dynamic economic environment," said Satya Nadella, chairman and CEO, Microsoft. "Today, we're announcing new innovations across our employee experience platform Microsoft Viva to help leaders end productivity paranoia, rebuild social capital and re-recruit and re-energize their employees."
The Work Trend Index Pulse report helps leaders navigate the new realities of hybrid work. It is based on an external study of 20,000 people in 11 countries including five markets in the Asia-Pacific region (APAC). It also draws on analysis of trillions of Microsoft 365 productivity signals, LinkedIn labor trends and Glint People Science insights. It points to three urgent pivots every leader should make:
To address these challenges, Microsoft is expanding its employee experience platform Microsoft Viva to help companies deliver an employee experience optimized for the way people now work. Today, Microsoft is announcing several new and enhanced capabilities coming to Viva:
The new Viva capabilities will begin rolling out to customers in early 2023.
