Microsoft Viva Insights is getting some updates that will make it easier for leaders to understand and improve their team's engagement and productivity. Think of it like a car dashboard getting a redesign to show more useful information for the driver.
Previously, the Viva Insights home page was like a dashboard that mostly showed basic metrics, similar to a car dashboard showing just speed and fuel levels. Now, the updated home page will highlight more detailed reports, like a car dashboard that also shows tire pressure, oil levels, and navigation directions. This means leaders will have a clearer view of their team's performance and well-being.
The navigation menu will be split into two sections: "Team insights" and "Your insights." Imagine a restaurant menu with sections for appetizers and main courses. "Team insights" will have new reports on things like external focus, new hire onboarding, and meeting costs. "Your insights" will keep the existing pages on well-being, productivity, and teamwork.
A new report will help leaders understand how well their communications are reaching their team. This is like a teacher getting a report on how many students read their emails and attended their classes. Leaders will be able to see how effective their emails, meetings, and shared files are in engaging their team.
Leaders can also send quick surveys, called Pulse surveys, to get immediate feedback from their team. This is similar to a restaurant manager asking customers for feedback on their meal before they leave. Leaders can send these surveys to ask about specific issues or to check in on new hires.
These updates will roll out automatically between late June and mid-August 2024, so no action is needed from admins. Leaders should be informed about these new features so they can start using them to better understand and support their teams.
