Viva Insights

Viva insights includes personal insights that only employees can see. These can include useful recommendations such as protecting time in the day for regular breaks, focused work, and learning that help improve wellbeing and boost productivity. Employees can access these insights in Teams, in a Briefing email in Outlook, or in a personal dashboard.

Manager insights give much-needed visibility into work patterns of your team that might lead to burnout and stress. These include regular after-hours work, meeting overload, or too little focus time.

Leader insights help business leaders see how their work culture is affecting their organizational resiliency and boosting employee engagement. Leaders can use the recommendations on the Outcomes page to see opportunities where a change could improve their business outcomes. Similar to Leader insights, Advanced insights can also help business leaders address critical questions about organizational resiliency and work culture with insight into how work impacts their people and their business.

Viva Connections

You can make Viva Insights easily discoverable from your Viva Connections Dashboard by adding the Insights app card to it.
