Leadership Corner comes to Viva Engage
Today, we announced Leadership Corner as a space for leaders to encourage open dialog and feedback across communities and teams through news, Ask Me Anything (AMA) events, surveys, and more in Viva Engage. This new space offers leaders a dedicated place to guide discussions and use intuitive dashboards to track metrics and employee sentiment in real time.
Beyond leaders, employees get new experience too by with a personalized view of the leaders they are connected to, and employees can stay aligned to what’s happening at work. Leadership Corner offers a way to highlight announcements, posts, and other content for employees.
Leadership teams can foster dialogue and guide discussions within Leadership Corner.
Employees can share their thoughts with their leadership team and engage in two-way dialogues like during an Ask me Anything events
Answers
Answers in Microsoft Viva connects employees to the answers they need by crowdsourcing knowledge from across the organization. Answers is a conversational experience for asking questions and connecting to experts for answers. Natural language processing helps match those questions with any existing answers, and the experience rewards experts who contribute back to the knowledge base. Learn more about Answers in Viva in the announcement blog.
Answers in Viva brings knowledge to you across Viva Engage web, client, and mobile experiences.
Leadership Corner and Answers will be available in 2023 to licensed Viva suite users within the Viva Engage app.
