Copilot Highlights in Viva Glint

Copilot Highlights in Viva Glint is an AI-powered feature that generates structured summaries of employee survey results directly within Viva Glint reports. It appears in a collapsible card at the top of supported reports and surfaces key insights, including strengths, opportunities, team-level differences, and trends, so managers, HR leaders, and organizational leaders can move from data to action faster.

Rather than manually reviewing scores, benchmarks, and breakdowns across report sections, users get an at-a-glance summary of the most notable findings based on built-in interpretation rules and quality controls.

Prerequisites

To access Copilot Highlights, the following requirements must be met:

  • License
    See licensing requirements here.

  • Copilot access
    Microsoft 365 Copilot in Viva Glint must be turned on for the user in the Microsoft 365 admin center.

  • Dashboard access

    View more information here.

Copilot Highlights is automatically available when Copilot in Viva Glint is turned on. There's no separate toggle to configure.

Supported survey programs and reports

Copilot Highlights is available for the following:

  • Survey programs
    Recurring and Ad hoc programs (latest two survey cycles)

  • Report types

    • Team Summary
    • Executive Summary

Copilot Highlights appears whether these reports are loaded on the dashboard or opened directly outside the dashboard.

Important

Copilot Highlights isn’t available on custom report templates, including templates migrated from LinkedIn Glint, even if those templates were originally based on a supported default Viva Glint report.

What data Copilot Highlights uses

Copilot Highlights uses the same reporting data already visible in Viva Glint survey reports and dashboards, including:

  • Response rates
  • Key outcome scores
  • Item scores
  • Score changes over time
  • Benchmark comparisons
  • Strengths and Opportunities items
  • Team and hierarchy breakdowns

Copilot Highlights doesn’t introduce new data sources. It interprets and summarizes existing report data only. Data is limited to the currently loaded report, with no cross-survey aggregation or external data sources.

Note

Copilot Highlights doesn’t display if the report is empty due to insufficient data or suppression.

What Copilot Highlights displays

Copilot Highlights provides up to three structured summary sections in a collapsible card at the top of supported reports. Sections or portions of sections may be hidden depending on data availability and interpretation thresholds.

Overview and key outcomes

This section may include, depending on data availability and interpretation rules:

  • Response rate summary
    Response rate, respondent count, team size, representativeness, change vs. the previous cycle, and comparison to the selected benchmark

  • Key outcome score
    Current score, change since the last survey (and whether the change is notable), and benchmark comparison

  • Top strengths
    Up to three strength items from the report

If Strengths and Opportunities items aren’t available on the report, only response rate and key outcome information is shown.

Team scores

This section may include:

  • Breakdown by hierarchy or attribute configured on the report
  • Score, direction of change, and whether the change is notable for each team
  • Largest increases and decreases across teams
  • Highest and lowest scoring teams

The section updates when the hierarchy attribute used for the breakdown changes.

Note

The Team scores section appears only when team breakdowns are available. Frontline managers with no subteams won’t see this section.

Your top opportunities

This section may include:

  • Up to three opportunity items from the report’s Strengths and Opportunities ranking
  • Score, benchmark comparison, and pattern classification (improvement, potential risk, or growing risk)
  • Score change from the previous cycle as additional context

The section is hidden if opportunity items aren’t available.

Note

Copilot Highlights uses the same Strengths and Opportunities ranking algorithm as the report. Only items with High or Very High impact are eligible. Score changes aren’t a ranking factor and are shown only as context.
See Driver Impact Report for details.

How Copilot Highlights interprets survey data

Copilot Highlights uses built-in interpretation rules to surface only meaningful and actionable findings. Thresholds vary based on respondent group size.

Response rate confidence

Group size High confidence Moderate confidence Low confidence
Large (100+) 50% or higher 30–49% Below 30%
Small (fewer than 100) 60% or higher 40–59% Below 40%

Notable score changes

Group size Minimum change
Large (100+) One point or more
Medium (50–99) Two points or more
Small (fewer than 50) Five points or more

Notable benchmark comparisons

Group size Minimum difference
Large (100+) One point or more
Medium (50–99) Two points or more
Small (fewer than 50) Five points or more

Important

Interpretation rules are applied automatically and can’t be customized. They determine which insights are surfaced and which metrics are omitted.

Multilingual support

Copilot Highlights summaries are generated in the language configured for the user’s Viva Glint dashboard experience. All Viva Glint supported languages are supported.

See Supported languages for details.

How Copilot Highlights processes data

Copilot Highlights uses the same data architecture as other Copilot in Viva Glint features. Instead of a user-entered prompt, it uses a system-generated prompt with built-in interpretation rules and quality controls.

See Copilot privacy for details.

Note

Copilot Highlights respects the same confidentiality thresholds and privacy protections as dashboards and reports. Suppressed or insufficient data isn’t included.

Key points:

  • Operates within Viva Glint service boundaries
  • Raw survey responses and user attributes aren’t used to train foundation models
  • Only data visible in the loaded report is used
  • No external data, cross-survey aggregation, or user prompts
  • Summaries regenerate when filters, benchmarks, or settings change

Quality and accuracy

Copilot Highlights is designed around four quality principles:

  • Accuracy – Matches underlying report data
  • Completeness – Includes relevant context when available
  • Rule adherence – Applies interpretation rules consistently
  • Relevance – Prioritizes actionable insights

Copilot Highlights uses objective, professional language.
