Sharing Insights with Managers of Less than 10 People

Silver Contributor

Hi Everyone! 

Can anyone share what their organization has been doing to communicate insights to leaders? Particularly when the leader has a small team and cannot use the Viva Insights functionality that is built in? Do your HR Business Partners have access to dashboards and review metrics about the Org as a whole or business unit with managers?

Hi @VI_Migration

I remember seeing a post that you have started using/playing with the Ways of Working Assessment. We've found this to be an effective in-road into insightful metrics for leaders across the company.

We approached relevant Business Unit leaders/HR BP's from specific clusters (or internal organizations/groups) - and presented the WoW Assessment to them, allowing time for Q&A etc. This whet the appetite and often resulted in follow up sessions and/or a request for more specific team/department reports. This method was so successful that it made it's way through word-of-mouth to the CEO. We were invited to a sit-down with the CEO to go through the entire company WoW Assessment, and has since resulted in a commitment from the EXCO to embarking on a "meeting-free" Wednesday afternoon for a trial period in 2022. 

Considering that we are approximately 8 fully active months into Viva Insights, this is a huge win for our small team, and has started unlocking more opportunities to uncover further bespoke analysis and insights.

With regards to team sizes - I believe that the upcoming updates of Manager and Leader Insights from Viva may start helping with some of these anomalies. Alternatively - look at completing custom analysis which maintains privacy - I've not yet looked into this, but it may be an option.
