Microsoft Viva Glint Quarterly Engagement Survey template

Microsoft Viva Glint saw a shift in focus on what is most important to the happiness and success of employees since the mid-2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic and other global factors. We reexamined the measures of employee engagement from 2018 to ensure focus on the most meaningful engagement drivers for this modern era. We analyzed over 350 million employee survey responses collected since 2020 to determine the employee experiences that are most predictive of engagement. These experiences are happiness at work and willingness to recommend the company. We discovered some new key driver themes, which resulted in a new top-20 list of core engagement drivers. Additionally, we identified several other drivers that may be beneficial for consideration by individual organizations.

Note

Not all items in the Viva Glint Question Library are posed in question format. Library items also include statements to rate on a given scale. For this reason, the term "item" on the Viva Glint platform and in supporting guidance refers to any content in the Question Library. The term "item" includes questions and statements.

How we arrived at the Viva Glint Quarterly Engagement template

The result of our re-examination is a modernized framework - early 2022 - called the Microsoft Viva **People Success Elements. These elements are six constructs**: Purpose, Clarity, Growth, Empowerment, Connection, and Wellbeing. The constructs summarize the fundamental needs and expectations that are most critical to a person’s holistic life experience.
