What is Microsoft Viva? How to Jumpstart Employee Engagement

Amid day-to-day operations, providing for consumers, and meeting quotas, we often forget to take care of the employees who make a company a community. Most of us set time aside for self-care in our personal time, and now it’s time to talk about employee care. According to Gallup’s Employee Engagement Survey, organizations with top employee engagement scores have 14% more production, 66% better well-being, and 23% higher profitability than the competition. Giving your teams the tools they need to connect provides an experience that is pleasing for those within your company and those who benefit from your services. If you’re interested in fostering that level of employee engagement, we suggest you start with the question – what are the benefits of Microsoft Viva?
