Starting in February 2025, leaders will be able to learn more about their organization using Microsoft 365 Copilot in Viva Insights. Leaders can ask Copilot questions about their organization’s composition and behaviors and can view visualizations of organizational data in the Viva Insights web & Teams app.
Finding organizational data can be a daunting task, involving multiple systems and data sets. To simply this process, this new function in Viva Insights brings this information together in an easily digestible format using natural language prompts.
Below are some examples of the types of questions a leader could now ask Copilot in Viva Insights:
- Organizational composition
- Who are the employees who have been hired in the last month, grouped by their organization?
- Who are the managers with more than 3 years of experience?
- How many managers and how many individual contributors are in the organization?
- Team collaboration
- How is after-hours collaboration in my organization?
- How much time are employees in product management spending collaborating?
- Hybrid work
- How many remote employees are in my organization & what countries are they based in?
- Which team has the most employees working in-office?
- Geographic distribution
- How are my employees distributed across time zones?
- Who has a tenure of 2 years at the company in the United States?
Many of these questions have related reports that leaders and their delegates can view to see additional details on the organization and employees.

A Viva Insights premium license is required to access these features. A Microsoft 365 Copilot license is not needed. Those with a Group Manager or delegate role, and with team sizes that meet Insights’ minimum team size requirements, will be able to access these features.
For this update to be valuable to leaders and their delegates, you must upload fresh and complete data once a month. If minimal data is provided, Copilot in Viva Insights will not be able to answer questions completely or accurately.
