- Media OutReach - 5 February 2021 - Microsoft Corp. on Thursday announced
Microsoft Viva, the first employee experience platform to bring tools for
employee engagement, learning, wellbeing and knowledge discovery, directly into
the flow of people’s work. Viva is designed to help employees learn, grow and
thrive, with new experiences that integrate with the productivity and
collaboration capabilities in Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Teams.
“We have participated in the largest at-scale
remote work experiment the world has seen, and it has had a dramatic impact on
the employee experience,” said Satya Nadella, CEO, Microsoft. “Every
organization will require a unified employee experience from onboarding and
collaboration to continuous learning and growth. Viva brings together
everything an employee needs to be successful, from day one, in a single,
integrated experience directly in Teams.”
The announcement comes as economic and social
trends are driving durable changes in workforce engagement. Amid the shift to
an increasingly distributed and digital work environment, demand has grown for
solutions that support corporate culture, knowledge discovery, on-the-job
learning and employee wellbeing. Analysts size the nascent Employee Experience
Platforms (EXP) category at $300 billion in annual spend. It spans what is
today a fragmented market of services, infrastructure and hundreds of tools,
many that go undiscovered and underutilized by employees at the companies that
have invested in them.
“As the world of work changes, the next
horizon of innovation will come from a focus on creativity, engagement and
wellbeing so organizations can build cultures of resilience and ingenuity,”
said Jared Spataro, corporate vice president, Microsoft 365. “Our vision is to
deliver a platform for the employee experience that helps organizations create
a thriving culture with engaged employees and inspiring leaders.”
Microsoft Viva builds on the power of Teams
and Microsoft 365 to unify the employee experience across four key areas —
Engagement, Wellbeing, Learning and Knowledge — in an integrated experience
that empowers people to be their best. Today, Microsoft is announcing an
initial set of modules in Viva that will provide built-in capabilities,
integrations from a strong and growing ecosystem of Viva partners, and platform
extensibility that will enable customers to integrate their existing employee
experience systems and tools with Viva to make them more accessible and
discoverable to employees:
“Microsoft Viva is a groundbreaking Employee
Experience Platform, ushering in a new enterprise software category that
focuses entirely on the daily needs of employees at work,” said Josh Bersin,
research analyst and noted expert on employee experience technology. “Viva will
enable companies to integrate their fragmented workplace tools and provide them
in the flow of work.”
A global network of services partners,
including Accenture, Avanade, PwC and EY will provide consulting and advisory
services to help customers optimize their existing employee experience
investments by bringing them together with Microsoft Viva.
