An Employee Experience Platform (EXP) is a digital platform that puts people at the center by bringing together systems of work with systems of support into an integrated employee experience.
In this episode, Chris and I talk with Jared Spataro (CVP | Microsoft) about the new EXP service offering, Microsoft Viva – disclosed today (Feb. 4th, 2021). We discuss its people’s success design, then dig into its four main components: Connections, Insights, Learnings and Topics. You’ll hear how Viva builds on foundational capabilities like Yammer, SharePoint, Stream, Workplace Analytics, Microsoft Search, LinkedIn, Glint and more.
Viva empowers people and teams to be their best, and by the end of this episode, you’ll see that Elvis has indeed left the building, the cat is out of the bag, Viva is here and it’s a big announcement from Microsoft.
