This series of videos shows team leaders and admin the underlying tech and options for enabling and configuring the four core modules of Microsoft Viva. Viva is the new employee experience platform that connects learning, insights, resources, and communication. It has a unique set of curated and AI-enriched experiences built on top of and integrated with the foundational services of Microsoft 365.


 



Introduction to Microsoft Viva 


 


Microsoft Viva’s 4 core modules:



  • Viva Topics — builds a knowledge system for your organization

  • Viva Connections — boosts employee engagement

  • Viva Learning — creates a central hub to discover learning content and build new skills

  • Viva Insights — recommends actions to help improve productivity and wellbeing


 


Microsoft Viva Topics:


Viva Topics builds a system that transforms information into knowledge and actively delivers it to you in the context of your work. As many of us are working remotely or in more hybrid office environments, it can be harder to stay informed. With Topics, we connect you to the knowledge and the people closest to it. CJ Tan, Lead Program Manager, joins host Jeremy Chapman to cover the overall experience for users, knowledge managers, and admins.
