News to Know – Volume 3, Edition 4, April 2026

amywheater — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 17:47:58 GMT

This month’s newsletter brings you the latest updates, insights, and learnings to help you turn employee listening into action with Viva Glint & Pulse. As organizations continue to navigate AI-driven change, we’re focused on helping you measure what matters, understand impact, and sustain momentum across your employee experience strategy—with practical updates to support you every step of the way.

New on your Viva Glint platform

This section highlights new capabilities and updates now available to help you strengthen security, reporting, and administrative control in Viva Glint.

Copilot reporting: Copilot Highlights. Copilot Highlights, now generally available, generates AI-powered summaries of employee survey results directly within Team Summary and Executive Summary reports, surfacing key insights like strengths, opportunities, score changes, and benchmark comparisons so managers and leaders can move from data to action faster. This release also brings multilingual support, with summaries generated in each user's configured Viva Glint language. Unlike Copilot comment summarization, which requires a higher number of survey respondents, Copilot Highlights works wherever managers already have access to dashboard data, making Copilot in Viva Glint valuable for a broader set of leaders across your organization. The feature is automatically available for anyone with Copilot in Viva Glint turned on. Learn more about the feature here and to get started or expand access to more users, see Manage Viva Glint Copilot access in Microsoft 365 admin center.

Copilot reporting: Copilot control migration to Microsoft 365 admin center. On April 30th, the Microsoft 365 Admin Center will become the single point of control for Viva Glint Copilot, consistent with other Microsoft Copilot experiences. As part of this change, the existing admin toggles for Copilot access in Viva Glint will be removed, and Copilot will default to ON at the Viva Glint platform level. Customers can transition to this new control model before April 30th by completing setup in Microsoft 365 admin center using Viva Feature Access Management (VFAM) to configure Copilot access for Viva Glint. For more information, please visit Manage Copilot access in Viva Glint, Manage Viva Glint Copilot access in Microsoft 365 admin center, and Data, privacy, and security for Microsoft 365 Copilot in Viva Glint.

Reporting: Direct link to the default report from the dashboard. A new 'Filter in reports' button lets users open the dashboard’s default report view directly, making it faster and easier to navigate and analyze results.

Survey: New Copilot measurement items. We’ve added seven new Copilot measurement questions to Viva Glint. Monitor and accelerate your Copilot transformation with the Glint Copilot Impact template now featuring 21 validated survey questions designed to measure and get valuable feedback on how well employees are adapting to and experiencing Copilot value in their work. You have the flexibility to use any number of these Copilot items when, where, and how it makes most sense at important moments in your Copilot journey, whether it’s a standalone Copilot survey, integrated into your Engagement survey, or deployed in Viva Pulse surveys for more targeted insights. Find more information here.

Advanced Analytics: Viva Glint R and Python packages. A new R package (vivaglint) and Python package (vivaglint_py), designed to make it easier to work with your Viva Glint raw data export for analysis and visualization, are now available. These packages offer functions for generating full correlation tables, conducting attrition linkage analysis, factor analysis, and more based on your raw survey data exports. Learn more here.

Coming soon to Viva Glint

The following section offers an early look at capabilities coming to Glint shaping the future of continuous listening, analytics, and AI‑powered insight.

Copilot-supported commenting for Viva Glint survey takers | Generally Available in May. Viva Glint survey takers will soon be able to use a streamlined Microsoft Copilot experience directly within surveys to help refine their written feedback. Copilot can help rephrase comments, making it easier for employees to express their thoughts clearly and confidently. By reducing identifiable writing patterns and simplifying the process of providing thoughtful feedback, this feature helps foster a greater sense of privacy and ease. This, in turn, can encourage higher participation, more detailed responses, and more candid insights—ultimately helping organizations gain a richer, more actionable understanding from their surveys.

Additional controls for data flow from Insights to Glint | Generally Available in May. Starting in May, when you enable data flow from Insights to Glint, you will have the ability to exclude specific users and groups from having their metrics sent over. The control will be available in the Viva Glint section of Viva Feature Access Management in the M365 Admin Center. This is useful for tenants who operate in regions or parts of the organization where further approvals are needed to use workplace metrics data. You can exclude those users and groups from the feature until you get the approvals needed.

Continuous Employee Engagement with Workplace Metrics | Preview. Improve actionability for Work-Life Balance and Collaboration focus areas by integrating Viva Insights workplace metrics into Glint reporting. This feature will help Senior Leaders in your organization access supplementary data points, in conjunction with survey responses, to better understand their team's experience and conduct more data-driven discussions on what can be improved in these areas. Private Preview is targeted in May 2026. Future capabilities will include notifications between survey cycles to keep team health top of mind for leaders, including notable metric differences in the Glint Copilot Results Summary and the ability to map additional Viva Insights and Copilot metrics to survey items including custom questions.

To express your interest, please complete the following: Private Preview: Continuous Employee Engagement with Workplace Metrics.

If you are already part of the Employee Experience Customer Connection (EECC) program, request to join our Workplace Patterns & Continuous Listening EECC Teams subchannel through the main Glint EECC Teams channel so you can iterate on the future of continuous engagement with the product team in monthly calls. If you aren’t already part of the EECC, see the Connect with us section in this newsletter for more details on how to join.

Employee Feedback Agent | Preview. Enhance your Employee Listen program with The Employee Feedback Agent a dynamic, AI-powered conversation, where employees can share what matters most through natural, chat-like interactions, whether prompted or always-on, enabling real-time feedback and deeper insights into the drivers behind their experiences. By combining Copilot intelligence and People Science principles, the agent streamlines feedback collection and reduces administrative overhead for HR and leaders. Unlike traditional Copilot tools that simply summarize information, the Employee Feedback Agent collects experiential data through probing questions and back and forth dialogue with employees. Future capabilities will expand impact with an actionable insights reporting experience, accelerating the “feedback-to-action” cycle. The initial private preview cohort is closed but please stay tuned for more information about when this experience will be generally available.

Raw Data Export API Egress | Preview. Unlock seamless, automated access to raw survey data—no more manual downloads. Built on Microsoft Graph, these APIs make integrations easier and help admins move faster with greater efficiency. Express your interest here.

New Thought Leadership

Explore the latest research and perspectives from our People Science team on leadership, AI, and the evolving employee experience.

Research Drop: Tracking the Rise of Perceived AI Value at Work. AI adoption is rising, but usage alone doesn’t tell us whether work is actually getting better. Our latest research shows that employees’ perceived value of AI has increased over time, with RIVA favorability rising 9 points across three cross‑industry studies, signaling a shift from experimentation to more integrated, value‑generating use. But that value isn’t evenly distributed. Industry, organization size, job level, and function all shape who benefits and how quickly. As employees build fluency and apply AI to more complex work, value tends to compound, but only when organizations create the right conditions. Enabling repeatable, meaningful integration into everyday work is key to continued momentum. Read it here.

News to Know – Volume 3, Edition 3, March 2026

amywheater — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 08:06:00 GMT

This month’s newsletter brings you the latest updates, insights and learnings to help you turn employee listening into action with Viva Glint & Pulse. As organizations continue to navigate AI-driven change, we’re focused on helping you measure what matters, understand impact, and sustain momentum across your employee experience strategy.

New on your Viva Glint platform

This section highlights new capabilities and updates now available to help you strengthen security, reporting, and administrative control in Viva Glint.

User access: Roles and permission enhancements. In our March release, we’re introducing updates that improve security and provide more flexible, least-privilege access for enterprise organizations. Learn more here.

New role: Survey Designer

The Survey Designer role helps organizations assign access specifically for creating and deploying Viva Glint surveys—without granting broader administrative permissions. This targeted role is useful for programs such as AI transformation, hybrid work, and other change-management employee listening initiatives.

New permissions:

We’re introducing more granular permissions for Advanced Configuration, Question Library, Service Configuration (settings), Nudges, and Viva integrations. Existing Company Admins will be granted Advanced Configuration access by default.
Company Admin is now renamed Viva Glint Service Admin.
Assignment of new service admins will be restricted to the Microsoft 365 admin center for tighter governance and streamlined administration.

Copilot reporting: Copilot control migration to Microsoft 365 admin center. Starting in March 2026, Viva Glint will use the Microsoft 365 admin center as the single control plane for Copilot access—consistent with other Microsoft Copilot experiences. As part of this change, the existing admin toggles for Copilot access in Viva Glint will be removed, and Copilot will default to ON at the Viva Glint platform level. Customers can transition to this new control model between March and April 2026 after completing setup in Microsoft 365 admin center using Viva Feature Access Management (VFAM) to configure Copilot access for Viva Glint. For more information, please visit: Manage Copilot access in Viva Glint, Manage Viva Glint Copilot access in Microsoft 365 admin center, and Data, privacy, and security for Microsoft 365 Copilot in Viva Glint.

Reporting: Privacy safeguard for live response rate reporting. For Live surveys, the Add section side pane in reporting is now limited to response-rate visuals only: Response rate history and Response rate by demographic. All score and results visuals have been removed to reinforce privacy safeguards and ensure response rate reporting remains aligned to intended use by restricting users with access to the response rate report during survey live to view response rate information only. Learn more here.

Reporting: Dashboard default tag on Reports landing page. On the Reports screen, report tiles that sit behind a dashboard experience now include a Dashboard default tag—making it easy to see, at a glance, which report is connected to a dashboard.

Reporting: Benchmark refresh schedule and opt-in reminder. Global benchmarks, including High‑Performing Global benchmarks (Top 25% and Top 10%), have been refreshed and include data collected from January 2025 through December 2025. Industry, Country, and Region benchmarks are currently scheduled to be refreshed and released in July.

To access external benchmark comparisons in reporting, customers must opt in to benchmarking. Opting in increases the overall benchmark data pool, improves data coverage, and supports a broader set of benchmark suites. Customers who have not opted in won’t be able to view or include external benchmarks in their reports.

New Thought Leadership

Explore the latest research and perspectives from our People Science team on leadership, AI, and the evolving employee experience.

Research Drop: Evolving Transformational Leadership in the Age of AI. AI is changing how work gets done, but it hasn’t changed what employees need most from their leaders. Our latest research shows that employees who feel supported to integrate agentic AI are 1.8x more likely to use it daily, yet a 28‑point gap separates how supported leaders feel versus how supported employees feel. How leadership behaviors show up in practice can make a big impact: When leaders model thoughtful AI use, personalize support beyond what technology can deliver, and share how AI is shaping their own work, employees show higher meta‑cognition, trust, and realized value. Transformational leadership still works, but in the AI era, it has to evolve. Read it here.

Customer Success Stories

Culture + Viva Glint + AI = A Scalable Model for Growth

Ipsen, a global biopharmaceutical company with 5,500 employees, is transforming its culture to fuel an ambitious growth strategy—and using Microsoft Viva Glint, Copilot, and Copilot Studio AI agents to make the shift measurable, actionable, and scalable.

Driving a Culture Shift with Measurement at the Core

Ipsen launched a Culture Manifesto with 18 behavioral attributes aligned to strategy. These are measured annually through Viva Glint, using a transparent traffic‑light system that cascades results to every manager. This has created clear accountability and reinforced the company’s philosophy that culture is shaped through daily leadership choices.

Viva Insights - How can I replace the Organization field data without any data loss?

365Learner — Fri, 13 Mar 2026 18:00:09 GMT

Viva Insights - org upload transition from Viva Insights to admin.microsoft.com

Since the last time I performed a manual organizational data upload, the organizational data upload process has moved from Viva insights to admin.microsoft.com.

At this moment in time the manual CSV import is my selected choice.
I am hoping to find an explanation of the field mappings from the old CSV upload template (DataUpload_template.csv) compared to the new CSV upload template (OrgDataTemplate - with skills.xlsx) -- Microsoft's help articles do not appear to include these details -- it does not appear I'm able to attach the templates here

My goal is to perform a new manual upload and replace the organization field with a new set of data for all employees without losing any other existing data.

I must understand how the new upload template maps to the data fields that I've been uploading
I'll then need to understand what steps I must take to replace the organization field without losing any data

Spotlight On... AI Transformation & the Frontier Firm Playbook

amywheater — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 18:02:46 GMT

Introduction

AI transformation is not a single launch – it’s a multi‑phase journey that blends strategy, change management, and measurable business outcomes. The Frontier Firm Playbook captures how leading organizations move from AI pilots to pervasive impact by aligning use cases to business value, scaling responsibly, and building momentum with the right metrics. This article shares how to apply that playbook in practice – and how Viva Glint and Viva Pulse together serve as the employee listening and insights backbone of the transformation, capturing signals of readiness, trust, adoption, and impact that usage telemetry alone cannot reveal. Pulse enables rapid, scenario‑specific feedback early and often, while Glint provides the enterprise‑grade analytics, benchmarking, and trend analysis required to govern and scale AI transformation.

Why Follow the Frontier Firm Playbook?

Frontier Firms are those that consistently turn AI’s potential into a durable competitive advantage. What sets them apart is how they manage the transformation:

Intentional sequencing: They sequence initiatives from foundational readiness to pilot-scenario quick wins, to scaled adoption.

Measuring what matters: They go beyond raw deployment counts – tracking usage, behavior change, and business outcomes together.

Building trust & capability: They invest in upskilling, clear communication, and responsible AI guardrails to foster confidence and competence.

Continuous feedback loops: They continuously listen to employees (and customers), using feedback to refine the program as it evolves.

Crucially, Frontier Firms treat AI adoption as an organization-wide people transformation, not just a tech rollout.

HR: Co-Owner of the Journey

In successful AI transformations, HR is a named co‑owner of the Frontier Firm journey alongside IT and business leadership. That’s because lasting AI-powered change depends on new behaviors, skills, and cultural shifts at scale – domains where HR excels:

Workforce transformation: AI adoption reshapes roles, skills, incentives, manager routines, and culture. HR functions as the strategic enabler for these workforce changes, ensuring people are prepared and supported.

Skills and enablement: HR drives role-based training, upskilling, and change communications, so employees feel confident and know why and how to use AI.

Employee listening & trust: HR uses Viva Glint and Pulse to gauge sentiment, trust, and pain points, giving leaders evidence to steer the change effectively.

Bottom line: AI transformation is as much about people as technology. Empowering HR to co-lead – backed by robust employee insights – greatly increases the odds of success.

Viva Glint & Pulse: A Layered Listening Model

Frontier Firms use a layered listening approach. Viva Pulse captures fast, situational feedback during early rollout and experimentation, while Viva Glint consolidates sentiment, comments, and outcomes into a durable insight layer that leaders use to steer, govern, and scale AI adoption.

Different data sets answer different questions:

Telemetry (e.g., Copilot usage stats and license dispersion) shows what is happening – who is using AI, how often, in which apps.

Business outcomes (KPIs like productivity or quality metrics) show what changed as a result of AI.

Glint and Pulse measure why those results are happening in a way to guide direct action to address the feedback – revealing human factors like confidence, trust, friction points, and enablement gaps.

Simply put, Glint and Pulse track workforce sentiment and adoption motivators throughout the AI journey, allowing organizations to continuously check in with employees and to leverage advanced analytics to uncover key insights. This real-time input highlights challenges or wins that metrics alone can't provide—such as identifying whether low usage stems from inadequate training, apprehension about AI, or workflow mismatch.

By using Glint and Pulse, HR and leaders gain a trusted, central gauge of organizational readiness and sentiment. This allows them to address issues (e.g., low confidence or ethical concerns) proactively and to celebrate successes (e.g., improved productivity and morale) with credible data.

The Frontier Firm Phases & What to Measure

Successful AI transformation follows a deliberate, phased path. Frontier Firms progress through three stages: Foundation, Expansion, and Frontier. Across all phases, Frontier Firms follow a consistent measurement journey: early readiness feedback (Pulse), deep sentiment and trend analysis (Glint), and usage/outcome correlation (Viva Insights + Copilot reports).

Phase 1: Foundation

Goal: Ensure the organization is prepared — strategically and culturally — to adopt AI.

Frontier Firms start by aligning AI scenarios to business priorities and establishing clear guardrails. Just as importantly, they assess whether employees understand why AI matters and feel confident using it.

What to measure:

Employee confidence and trust in AI

Enterprise cultural readiness

Awareness of priority AI scenarios and enablement coverage

Awareness of strategic mission aligned to AI investments

Early signals of hesitation, risk, or uneven preparedness

HR’s role: HR co‑owns this phase by shaping the change narrative, segmenting the workforce for targeted enablement, and ensuring managers are equipped to lead adoption.

Phase 2: Expansion

Goal: Prove value quickly in a small number of high‑impact scenarios.

In this phase, Frontier Firms focus on 2–4 pilot scenarios that demonstrate tangible benefits and build confidence across the organization.

What to measure:

Copilot usage depth and repeat use in pilot groups

Self‑reported time savings and quality improvements

Employee feedback on usefulness, accuracy, and friction

HR’s role: HR partners with business leaders to reinforce new habits through role‑based learning, manager routines, and peer sharing.

Phase 3: Frontier

Goal: Embed AI into everyday work and sustain momentum responsibly.

Once value is proven, Frontier Firms scale adoption with consistent enablement, governance, and continuous listening.

What to measure:

Adoption patterns by role, team, and region

Links between AI usage, employee experience, and strategic business outcomes

Ongoing trust, confidence, and enablement effectiveness

HR’s role: HR helps embed AI into role expectations, capability models, and performance conversations, ensuring adoption is sustainable and inclusive.

Why this matters

Across all three phases, telemetry shows what's happening — but employee sentiment explains why. By pairing usage and outcome data with workforce sentiment, Frontier Firms reduce transformation risk, accelerate value realization, and scale AI with confidence.

Your AI Transformation Measurement Stack

To manage an AI transformation, you will draw on multiple sources of data and insights. Viva Glint and Pulse sit at the center of this measurement strategy, complemented by usage analytics and workplace analytics across Viva. The table below summarizes how each tool or signal contributes:

Measurement Tool / Signal	Role in AI Transformation (What It Captures)
Viva Glint and Pulse – Copilot Survey Templates	Employee sentiment and readiness. Pulse is typically used for early and recurring checks tied to specific Copilot/AI Transformation moments, while Glint is used to aggregate, analyze, and correlate sentiment with usage and outcomes over time. Purpose-built surveys templates for Readiness, Adoption, Impact can be deployed in Viva Glint or Pulse designed to capture baseline and ongoing sentiment on AI: e.g., awareness, confidence, trust, perceived usefulness, and enablement effectiveness. Reveals why people are or are not adopting.
M365 Copilot usage & adoption analytics	Usage telemetry. Dashboard and admin reports showing who is using Copilot, how often, and in which scenarios (when available). Key metrics include active users, active days per user, and usage trends by team or role. Shows what AI usage looks like across the org.
Viva Glint + Insights – Workplace Patterns report	Work pattern changes. Analyzes how work habits are shifting as AI is adopted: meeting hours, focus time, after-hours workload, cross-collaboration patterns, etc. Compare teams using Copilot vs. those not using it to see if work is getting streamlined (e.g., fewer meetings, more focus time).
Viva Glint + Copilot – Employee Experience Outcomes report	Experience vs. adoption link. Combines the above data to see if higher AI adoption correlates with improved employee experience. For example, do people who use Copilot feel they “can do my best work” more often? Is workload perception changing? Understanding sentiment with Copilot also helps us uncover: -high adoption but low satisfaction signaling, e.g., the need for more enablement -low usage/low satisfaction signaling, e.g., the need to explore deeper barriers and root causes
Viva Glint + Engage - Ambient Signals report (in development)	Integrated telemetry + outcomes + sentiment. In development: advanced analytics to link behavioral data with outcomes and sentiment in real time. This can pinpoint moments that matter – e.g., correlating a spike in AI usage with a boost in productivity or identifying where low trust feedback coincides with low adoption.
Viva Glint - Employee Feedback agent (in development)	Continuous listening at scale. In development: an on-demand, conversational feedback tool enabling quick pulse checks on specific topics. For instance, a manager could ask their team about a new Copilot feature, and an AI-driven summary of responses would feed into the program's next steps.

Together, these tools provide a 360° view of your AI initiative. But it is the voice of your employees, the qualitative “why” layer as measured by Glint and Pulse, that gives context to the quantitative numbers. It ensures you do not misinterpret raw data and helps HR and leaders make informed adjustments (whether that's more training, tweaking a use case, or communicating success stories to build confidence).

Example 90‑Day Plan

To illustrate how all these pieces come together, here is an example of a 90-day rollout plan that can be piloted with a subset of the employee population before rolling out function –specific or enterprise-wide initiatives for kicking off the Frontier Firm journey:

Weeks 0–4: Awareness & Readiness

Deploy short readiness and expectation surveys using Viva Pulse to capture early sentiment on AI confidence, trust, and perceived value.

Use Viva Insights to establish baseline Copilot usage and adoption patterns.

Segment early adopters to inform a targeted pilot rollout strategy.

Set clear adoption and experience success metrics and develop enablement materials.

Weeks 5-8: Pilot, Learn, and Adjust

Launch pilots with defined scenarios and success criteria.

Continue Pulse check‑ins to monitor usefulness, friction, and enablement gaps.

Analyze sentiment heatmaps and early resistance signals to refine the pilot approach.

Begin correlating early sentiment with usage using Copilot Employee Experience Outcomes data where available.

Weeks 9-12: Scale with Confidence

Conduct Viva Glint engagement or Copilot Impact surveys to measure sustained confidence, trust, and enablement.

Correlate Glint sentiment insights with usage and Workplace Patterns data to identify what is driving (or blocking) adoption.

Identify success stories and positive adoption signals to amplify across the organization.

Establish a recurring measurement rhythm using Glint and Pulse as the systems of record for ongoing governance.

Throughout these 90 days, the insights from Glint, Pulse and other analytics are crucial – they ensure you’re not just checking technical metrics but truly understanding how employees are experiencing the change. Early feedback helps you iterate the program for greater success in subsequent waves.

“What Good Looks Like”: Key Success Signals

How will you know if your AI transformation is on track? Here are some leading indicators that Frontier Firms watch for:

Adoption: ~60–70% of target users actively using AI at least weekly by the second month, with the average frequency of use per user rising steadily. This shows not only broad uptake but deeper habitual use.

Employee Experience: Improvement in employee survey ratings on items like “I can do my best work” or “I have the tools and support I need,” indicating that people feel more effective and supported with AI.

Productivity Gains: Measurable time savings in key workflows – for example, a 10–20% reduction in routine meeting time for pilot teams, faster completion of tasks like document preparation or case notes, etc.

Quality Improvements: Signs of higher quality output in pilot areas, such as fewer revision cycles required or fewer escalations and errors in AI-assisted processes.

Confidence & Trust: Increasing user-reported accuracy ratings and confidence in AI recommendations over time, reflecting growing trust as the technology proves its value.

Sustainability: A growing and active community of champions, an expanding library of shared best-practice prompts, and a visible improvement backlog for the AI program. These all indicate that the initiative is building self-sustaining momentum beyond the initial push.

These metrics should be interpreted in combination. For instance, a jump in usage is encouraging – but if experience or trust scores drop, it flags a risk (perhaps people feel pressure to use AI without support). That's why Glint’s qualitative insights are so vital to pair with quantitative metrics. Frontier Firms watch both, ensuring increased AI adoption also means employees feel more effective and empowered, not frustrated or threatened.

Common Pitfalls (and How to Avoid Them)

Even with a solid plan, there are missteps to guard against. Here are a few common pitfalls in AI transformation – and how Frontier Firms avoid them:

Staying vigilant about these pitfalls will help ensure your AI initiative delivers sustained results. In particular, never underestimate the people side – unaddressed fears or lack of support can derail even the best technology. By measuring and responding to the human signals, you mitigate transformation risks (e.g., catching early signs of fatigue or compliance concerns) and strengthen your case for scaling AI responsibly.

Resources

Embarking on the Frontier Firm journey requires both strategic vision and tactical execution. Here are some resources to help you move forward:

Frontier Firm Playbook – Detailed guidance on AI transformation patterns, example scenarios, and maturity stages (Microsoft’s playbook)

Frontier Firm Scenarios – A library of industry-specific AI use cases to spark ideas

By following the Frontier Firm Playbook – and leveraging Glint and Pulse to keep a finger on the pulse of your organization – you can turn AI from a promising experiment into a sustainable, enterprise-wide capability. The result is not just successful AI adoption, but a more engaged, empowered workforce ready to innovate continuously.

Good luck on your journey to becoming a Frontier Firm!

What's new in Viva Insights

zachminers — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 17:53:21 GMT

As we move further into 2026, we’re excited to announce a variety of new powerful tools and reporting capabilities for Viva Insights that make it easier to understand how your organization's adoption and use of Microsoft 365 Copilot compares to other uses of it both within and outside your company. You can also now learn more about the adoption and impact of agents built in Microsoft Copilot Studio, and there are new functionalities to share and customize reports more broadly across your organization. Let's dive in.

Agent Dashboard

We’re thrilled to announce the initial rollout of the Agent Dashboard, a powerful new functionality for the Viva Insights web app that provides leaders and analysts with actionable insights into agent adoption. With this new dashboard, users can dive into Copilot Credit usage – which measures how agents are used – and identify opportunities to optimize and track agent adoption over time.

To start, the dashboard covers adoption metrics aggregated at the user level for agents used within Microsoft 365 Copilot.

Read more about the Agent Dashboard here on the Microsoft 365 Copilot blog.

The Agent Dashboard is currently rolling out to public preview customers only. When you’re ready to start using it, learn how using our guide on MS Learn.

Benchmarks in Copilot Dashboard

The Copilot Dashboard has been focused on providing actionable insights into Copilot readiness, adoption, and impact trends for specific groups within the organization. Now, with benchmarks in the Copilot Dashboard, users can also see how their adoption compares to others, either within their organization, or with other companies.

Benchmarks in the Copilot Dashboard provide context around Copilot adoption trends, so users can compare usage across internal cohorts, or see how their adoption of Copilot compares to similar organizations.

Read more about benchmarks in the Copilot Dashboard here on the Microsoft 365 Copilot blog.

Export Copilot metrics from the Copilot Dashboard

We’re excited to introduce the initial public preview rollout of Copilot metrics export from the Copilot Dashboard. This new capability gives organizations greater flexibility to analyze the usage of both Microsoft 365 Copilot and Copilot Chat beyond the dashboard across the past six months at the de-identified user level, with user identifiers removed.

With this export tool, leaders and analysts with access to the global scope dashboard can download the data directly to support Copilot initiatives, such as tracking adoption and usage trends over time, or combining it with other data sources for custom analysis and reporting.

Learn more about how to use the export feature on MS Learn.

Launch of Copilot Studio agents report

In an exciting expansion of our reporting tools measuring the adoption and impact of Microsoft 365 Copilot, the Copilot Studio agents report is now broadly available. This powerful new Power BI template allows users to learn more about the impact of agents built in Microsoft Copilot Studio, and how their deployed across channels in the organization.

This report can help users answer questions like:

What are the top agents being used?

What are top agents' high-level KPI-like sessions, satisfaction scores, and success rates?

What is the impact of individual agents (conversational and autonomous), such as the split of engaged sessions and topics against actions and triggers distribution, as well as maker-led inputs?

The report provides insights about agents built in Microsoft Copilot Studio that are deployed across a variety of channels, including Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365 Copilot, Facebook, mobile apps, and custom and demo websites.

To learn more about the report and how to run it, refer to our guide on MS Learn.

New ability to customize out-of-the-box Power BI reports

Existing tools for Power BI template reports in the Viva Insights web app allow users to customize their reports for their organization's needs, through their selection of filters, metrics, and organizational attributes. Now, an expanded toolkit allows Viva Insights analysts to further customize out-of-the-box Power BI reports to make them even more relevant to their organization.

With these new tools, analysts can, for example:

Add new visualizations, text boxes, and graphics

Change the report's filters

Add, rename, and rearrange report pages

Save and delete your customized reports

Users can now customize pre-built Power BI reports such as the Copilot Studio agents or Copilot for Sales adoption reports, but not custom queries such as Person queries or Meeting queries. Users can also customize any queries that they or other analysts in their organization have previously run.

To learn how to customize out-of-the-box reports, please see our guide on MS Learn.

Multi-level response options for a single Likert-scale item

HereIam — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 13:24:45 GMT

I would like to explore whether Glint allows configuring a single survey statement with multiple sub-responses at different organizational levels, each using the same Likert scale.

For example:

Statement:

“In my experience, collaboration is effective.”

Response requested at multiple levels:

At the organization level (1–5 Likert scale)

At the division/department level (1–5 Likert scale)

At the team level (1–5 Likert scale)

In other words, instead of creating three separate items, is it possible to structure one statement with sub-questions (or nested response options) tied to different organizational levels, all using the same agreement scale?

News to Know – Volume 3, Edition 2, February 2026

amywheater — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 10:10:25 GMT

Each month, we share practical updates and insights to help you strengthen your employee listening strategy with Viva Glint & Pulse and support you on your AI transformation journey. In this edition, you’ll find the latest product enhancements, thought leadership, and customer learnings—designed to help you stay informed, plan ahead, and continue driving meaningful engagement and change across your organization.

New on your Viva Glint platform

Survey Communications: Teams Notification Localization. Viva Glint Teams bot notifications are now delivered in each user’s preferred language, improving accessibility, engagement, and the experience for global, non‑English‑speaking audiences. This update aligns Teams bot notifications with existing Viva Glint email and platform localization capabilities. Learn about Viva Glint supported languages here.

User Data Management: Audit Activity Log Enhancements. We are improving our audit activity logs to provide richer visibility into automated data imports, making it easier for admins to reconcile data across systems, quickly understand what happened during an import, diagnose issues more efficiently, and act with greater confidence. Starting this month, in addition to failed uploads, admins can now access advisory files for partial ingestions, where only some records from an import were processed successfully. Later this year, for supported automated imports (including SFTP and Organizational Data in Microsoft 365), audit logs will include downloadable details that summarize which records were added, updated, skipped, or moved to inactive status. Learn more about audit activity logs here.

Reporting: Custom PPT Template Support. The Export to PowerPoint feature now applies the custom PowerPoint template selected in General settings to the exported PowerPoint file for all reports that support the new export i.e. Team summary report, Executive summary report.

How to test

Open the Team Summary or Executive Summary report.
Select Export & Share > Export report to PPT.
Confirm the exported editable PowerPoint includes the custom template from Admin settings appended to the content slides.

Prerequisite
Upload a custom PowerPoint template in Viva Glint Admin settings before testing, Instructions for doing so can be found here.

Reporting: Navigation improvements. Viva Glint Reporting users can now retrace their navigation flow—drilling down and drilling up in reports—without losing context.

Key changes

Replaces the “Go Back” action to the Reporting home page with an alternative clickable experience.
Enables users to return to the last Reporting page they were in, supporting improved back navigation within Reporting.

Reporting: Enabling Benchmarks. Enabling external benchmarks gives you and your leaders valuable context—showing how your results compare to global and industry peers and complementing the insights you gain from internal comparisons.

With a single opt‑in step, Viva Glint unlocks a rich set of benchmark suites (Global, Industry, Country/Region, High‑Performing, and more). Your data remains fully anonymized and aggregated, ensuring privacy and compliance. Customers who opt in consistently report that benchmarks strengthen storytelling, deepen insight quality, and accelerate action planning. We recommend turning on this feature so your teams can get the full value of Viva Glint reporting. Without enabling this feature, customers will not be able to see any external benchmark comparisons and will only have access to internal comparators. By enabling it, organizations agree to allow their survey data to be included in the anonymized benchmark pool, which is required for benchmark visibility.

Coming soon to Viva Glint

User Access: Upcoming Role Enhancements. In our March release, we’ll be making some changes to roles and permissions in Viva Glint to increase security and flexibility for enterprise organizations.

Survey Designer Role

New Permissions in Viva Glint

New Thought Leadership

Research Drop: Fighting AI Slop with Meta-Cognition Around AI. Organizations are racing to adopt AI, but 60% of employees skip accuracy checks, leading to "workslop" – rushed, low-quality output that erodes trust. Our latest research shows the difference between employees who get real value from AI and those who don't isn't how often they use it; it's how thoughtfully they use it. And building better habits doesn't require technical training. When leaders openly share how they use AI and teams feel safe discussing what's working, employees become far more intentional. By focusing on the quality of AI use, not just the quantity, leaders can turn adoption into lasting impact. Read it here.

Customer Success Stories

Our very first Viva Glint Partner Story—featuring HRIZONS—is now officially live! HRIZONS EX partnered with a global skin care company to transform its employee listening program from a traditional high‑engagement survey model into a continuous engine for manager enablement, organizational alignment, and workforce effectiveness. By shifting from survey “deployment” to “action activation,” HRIZONS EX co‑created tailored tools and enablement for managers and HRBPs—including guides, content, and rollout support—to strengthen accountability and ensure employee feedback consistently turned into meaningful action. The program moved from periodic measurement to continuous improvement, embedded self‑sustaining capabilities across survey cycles, and unlocked efficiencies through early use of Microsoft 365 Copilot with Viva Glint. The result: greater clarity, scalability, and manager ownership of employee experience outcomes. You can read the full story here.

News to Know – Volume 3, Edition 1, January 2026

amywheater — Thu, 22 Jan 2026 18:46:58 GMT

A new year brings renewed focus and fresh opportunities to listen, learn, and act. In this month’s newsletter, we’re sharing the latest updates and insights from Viva Glint & Pulse—designed to help you start the year strong and continue building meaningful, actionable employee listening programs.

New on your Viva Glint platform

Reporting: Enhancements to Executive Summary Report Export. With this release, Managers will be able to export the default sections from the Executive Summary report in Viva Glint directly to editable PowerPoint slides. This enhancement allows for easier and quicker consumption of this report outside Viva Glint, compared to the previous export method which included static screenshots.

Action Taking: Focus Area Enhancements. Customer feedback highlighted that the relationship between Focus Areas (previously referred to as goals) and survey administrations was not always clear. This was largely due to Focus Areas not being directly tied to the survey cycles from which they originated. To address this, Focus Areas are now directly connected to survey cycles, and goal periods have been removed (note that no Focus Areas were deleted as part of this update). This improvement simplifies reporting and ensures Focus Areas more accurately represent the insights gathered from your surveys. Learn more about Focus Areas here and here.

Product release strategy: a more continuous, reliable Viva Glint release experience. We’re updating how we release Viva Glint so you get value sooner—and with less waiting when dates shift.

Instead of concentrating every change on a single monthly “release day,” we’re moving to a more continuous pace. That means smaller, more frequent updates, and progressive feature rollouts.

What this means for you

Faster access to improvements. Features ship when they’re ready—no waiting for a full month if a target date moves.
Higher reliability. Smaller, incremental releases reduce risk and make issues easier to prevent or quickly correct.
Clearer expectations. We’ll continue to share GA timing on the public Microsoft 365 Roadmap and call out any changes that require action.
Minimal disruption. Most updates occur with low or zero downtime, and we’ll provide advance notice for any impactful changes.

Thank you for partnering with us as we adopt a cadence that’s better aligned to speed, quality, and your planning needs.

Coming soon to Viva Glint

Upcoming Role Enhancements. In our February release, we’ll be making some changes to roles and permissions in Viva Glint. These changes are designed to increase security, while also providing the flexibility for enterprises to assign the appropriate responsibilities to the right users in their organization.

New Permissions in Viva Glint

By allowing enterprises to assign admin responsibilities in Viva Glint without providing complete Company Admin rights, the below changes enhance data security and offer greater flexibility for tailored workflows and specific needs.

- Five new permissions are being introduced: Advanced Configuration, Question Library, Service Configuration (settings), and Nudges, offering more granular control over platform access and management. All existing Company Admins will be granted Advanced Configuration access by default.
- Company Admin is now renamed to Viva Glint Service Admin, standardising the role name throughout the Microsoft ecosystem for clarity and consistency.
- Assignment of new service admins will now be restricted exclusively to the Microsoft Admin Centre (MAC), ensuring tighter governance and streamlined administration.

Survey Designer Role

The Survey Designer Role in Viva Glint will empower organizations to assign users only the access they need to create and deploy Glint surveys, without granting broader administrative permissions. This targeted role is especially valuable for initiatives like AI transformation, hybrid work, and other change management employee listening programs, enabling teams to quickly launch feedback cycles while maintaining security and control. By streamlining survey creation and deployment, organizations can more efficiently capture employee insights and drive meaningful change.

Copilot will default to ON and move to VFAM as the single control. Starting in March 2026, Copilot in Viva Glint will default to ON for all customers, and the existing Glint admin toggles for Copilot access will be removed. From that point forward, Copilot access will be managed exclusively through Viva Feature Access Management (VFAM), providing a single, streamlined control consistent with other Microsoft Copilot experiences. This change reduces admin workload and ensures a more consistent governance experience. Please review your VFAM settings to prepare for this update. Should you have any questions about managing Copilot access through VFAM, please use this form to reach out to us.

Sign Up for Continuous Employee Engagement with Workplace Metrics | Preview. Improve actionability for focus areas like “Work-life balance” and “Collaboration” by bringing in workplace metrics from Viva Insights.

2025 has been a remarkable year for Microsoft Viva Glint and Viva Pulse—made possible by you, our customers. Your partnership, insights, and trust have shaped every step of our journey. Together, we delivered transformative integrations, reached new engagement milestones, and saw meaningful outcomes across the organizations we serve.

This year, we introduced enhancements that not only strengthened the foundations of continuous listening but helped deliver more robust, actionable insights for organizations by deepening the connection across the Microsoft ecosystem – something we will continue to build upon. Furthermore, these advancements reflect the powerful momentum we can achieve through partnership with our customers.

Starting Strong: No Downtime

In early 2025, we announced the elimination of planned downtime for Viva Glint updates – a significant reliability win. Traditionally, updates meant 4–8 hours of system unavailability, disrupting survey-taking and reporting. With the new Zero Downtime Release (ZDR) process, updates became transparent, achieving ~99% availability for customers. Glint admins and end users no longer experience maintenance windows – a behind-the-scenes change that vastly improves continuity.

Admin Self‑Service & Survey Experience Enhancements

We enhanced admin self‑service to provide program owners with greater flexibility and improved efficiency. Additionally, updates were made to the survey experience to offer more data collection options and support better data quality. Here are some examples of features that were rolled out on the platform in 2025:

Ability to manage attributes and hierarchies for more user data schema control.
Controls to remove participants from results after cycle close—tightening data relevance.
Cycle and user data management improvements, with controls to retain or remove identifiable information responsibly.
Role clarity via the Viva Glint Tenant Administrator role in Microsoft Entra (dedicated permissions for admin center tasks and support) and the new Support User role for partners.
Custom branding and persistent comment box in Glint surveys to allow for a more bespoke survey experience and encourage the provision of more actionable, insightful data.
Pulse survey authoring delegation and large/dynamic audience capabilities introducing greater survey admin flexibility and reach.
Identifiable and flexible end-date surveys in Pulse to allow for targeted pulsing and to support rolling data collection.
Copilot survey templates available in Pulse, helping organizations measure AI transformation to drive ROI with consistent, research‑backed items with signals from these surveys seamlessly integrating into the Copilot Dashboard.

Reporting Upgrades

We took reporting beyond the dashboard and are continuing to focus on export improvements into 2026. We also brought in valuable benchmark comparisons to the platform this year:

Team Summary export to editable PowerPoint—moved from static screenshots to fully editable content; widely adopted through private preview and broad availability.

Executive Summary export and support for custom PPT templates are both now in private preview and will launch early next year.

Global, Industry, Country & Regional benchmark suites are now available for use in the platform for all customers who opt in.

All About Integrations...

Glint Notifications & Teams

In early 2025 we expanded Glint’s presence within Microsoft Teams, recognizing that for many managers and employees, Teams is the center of their workday. Now survey notifications, reminders, and nudges can appear directly in Teams chats and as rich adaptive cards, in addition to email. This “flow of work” integration has driven higher participation – customers report improved survey response rates when announcements pop up in Teams, where people are already collaborating. Managers also receive automated nudges via Teams, for instance a gentle reminder to share and discuss their team’s Glint results, or a prompt to follow up on an action plan. By meeting users where they are, we help busy teams close the feedback loop without relying solely on email.

Glint & Pulse

2025 also saw the introduction of the new workflow allowing managers to launch a quick Pulse survey as a follow-up after reviewing their Glint engagement results. This closes the loop between less frequent engagement surveys and continuous listening: if Glint results identified, say, work-life balance as a concern, a manager could immediately send a targeted Pulse check-in on that topic to their team. Now organizations are empowered to move from insights to action faster than ever.

In October 2025, we officially unified Viva Glint and Viva Pulse into a single offering. so that any customer with a Glint license automatically gets Viva Pulse as part of their subscription – at no additional cost. This change, essentially bundling the two products together, was driven by feedback and our belief that strategic engagement surveys (Glint) and agile pulse surveys (Pulse) are complementary tools for a healthy feedback strategy.

Glint & Insights

This broader Microsoft ecosystem integration has been a running theme, and last month, we achieved a major milestone by bringing Viva Glint data into Viva Insights and vice versa.

A new Workplace Patterns report in Glint (developed in partnership with the Viva Insights team) allows HR and business leaders to overlay engagement survey results with collaboration metrics from Microsoft 365. For example, you can examine whether teams with consistently long working hours or excessive meeting load also show lower engagement in certain areas – connecting sentiment with behavioral data. Early adopters of this Glint–Insights integration have seen tremendous value. In fact, by the time of general release in Q4, we saw an 18% uptick in Glint-to-Insights data flows and a 32% uptick in Insights-to-Glint usage, as organizations embraced these combined insights to drive action. This integration is a great example of how Microsoft’s employee experience tools come together to provide holistic, data-driven narratives about the world of work.

This month another extremely valuable analysis for Glint and Insights customers around AI transformation became available: the Copilot Employee Experience Outcomes Report highlights how Copilot usage correlates with stronger employee engagement and well‑being, showing that even small increases in usage can lead to measurable improvements in key experience outcomes.

Copilot in Glint

Another integration highlight from 2025 is around the continued investment and development of AI in the Glint platform. Throughout the year, the Glint team partnered with Microsoft 365 Copilot to add new AI capabilities, including expanded localization (70+ Glint-supported languages) so users can interact with Copilot in Glint in their preferred language. We also refined the Copilot experience with key quality improvements and a major model upgrade, delivering clearer, more accurate and faster responses.

2026 will see even more exciting Copilot developments in Glint. Copilot Highlights, a dashboard experience that assembles strengths, opportunities, and engagement trends at a glance, is now in private preview and will become available later next year.

Streamlining Data Ingress & Egress

In 2025, we began building Glint’s connection to Microsoft’s unified data platform, known as Microsoft Organizational Data Ingestion System (MODIS), and at the end of the year we kicked off our Glint MODIS private preview. MODIS streamlines how organizations bring HRIS data into Microsoft 365, reducing setup time and enabling consistent, secure data flows across Viva and beyond. For Glint, this unlocks faster onboarding, improved data quality, and a foundation for richer cross‑M365 insights. This will become available to all customers later in the year.

Also related to our efforts to streamline data ingress/egress, the Raw Data Exports (RDE) API private preview will launch in 2026. This functionality will give customers more flexible, privacy‑aware access to Glint data for internal analytics and governance.

Together, MODIS and RDE API represent the next phase of our integrations journey—modernizing data ingestion and export so customers can move from setup to insight even faster.

Expanding Reach and Trust

Alongside feature development, the team worked hard to make the products more scalable and accessible to organizations globally. In 2025 we expanded our service footprint with a new Australia Data Center coming online in September to better serve Asia-Pacific customers with in-region data residency. We also achieved Government Community Cloud (GCC-Moderate) compliance for Viva Glint in October, enabling U.S. public sector and regulated industry customers to use Glint in a compliant environment. These investments ensure that we can meet our customer's security, compliance, and performance needs everywhere in the world.

Behind the scenes, the completion of the LinkedIn Glint to Viva Glint migration was another 2025 achievement. As of publication, 100% of all legacy Glint customers have migrated onto the Viva Glint platform. This was an effort spanning more than two years involving hundreds of customers, and its conclusion means all our customers are now on the latest and most extensible version of Glint, reaping the benefits of all new features. A huge thanks goes to our customers for partnering with us through that transition. With migration largely behind us and a unified platform, we can innovate even faster and serve everyone on a single, modern system.

Building a Community of Feedback Champions

A highlight of 2025 has been the growth of our customer community through the Viva Customer Connection Program (VCCP) for Glint and Pulse. This year, over 40 new organizations enrolled in our customer advisory program – adding over 80 individual customer experts (HR leaders, program owners, and IT admins) to co-create with us. Through monthly feedback sessions, early feature previews, and direct line conversations, this community has influenced our roadmap and helped us test new features, integrations and analytics before broad release. Customers who have taken part in these engagement opportunities have had direct influence on many of the wins we celebrated above. We want to thank all our VCCP members for their partnership – your feedback is invaluable. If you aren't a VCCP member yet but are interested in joining to take part in future customer engagements, please fill out this form.

And so as 2025 draws to a close, a big thank you to our customers for your trust and feedback that fuel our innovation. The successes of 2025 set a high bar, and we’re excited to build on this foundation. With new features on the horizon (from more Copilot capabilities to deeper analytics and beyond), 2026 is poised to be another leap forward. We remain committed to your success and to our partnership in creating a workplace where every voice drives impact.

Here’s to the year that was, and to the journey ahead in empowering employee voice and engagement and driving AI transformation! Happy New Year – and thank you for being part of the Viva Glint and Pulse story.

Admin Self-Service: Remove Survey Takers. Previously, Glint admins lacked the ability to remove users from a survey cycle which hindered the flexibility and accuracy of survey data, potentially affecting the overall insights and actions derived from the survey results. Now, with the new 'Remove participants from results' feature, admins are empowered to seamlessly remove participants from a survey in alignment with changes to employee status after the point of survey launch, ensuring that only relevant participants are included (note it is only possible to remove participants from survey cycles that are closed). Learn more here.

Admin Self-Service: Delete User Attribute. From December 22^nd, admins can remove outdated or unnecessary custom user attributes from their schema, helping keep data clean, accurate, and within the 100-attribute limit. This self-serve capability streamlines routine data maintenance, reduces dependency on support, and empowers admins to manage their data model with greater autonomy. Admins can delete any flat, custom user attribute that is not required, default, or currently in use for derived attributes, system attributes, user roles, distribution lists, or live surveys. Once deleted, the attribute and all associated data are removed from the schema and historical reports, ensuring reporting remains accurate and up to date. For more information, visit Update Attributes.

User Roles: Support User Management. We are excited to announce a new enhancement in Glint that makes it easier than ever to collaborate with trusted partners. Organizations can now add support users—such as Microsoft partners—directly to their Glint instance. These support users can assist with deployment, advanced insights, and complex support tasks, all managed via Entra ID without consuming a Glint license. This update ensures secure, compliant collaboration while accelerating your success. For full instructions, read our documentation here.

Why It Matters: Around 120 customers already leverage Microsoft partners to unlock deeper insights and drive meaningful change. Here’s what they are saying:

“Glint provided the platform to capture how our colleagues are feeling, and Mercer brought insights that made all the difference. Their team didn’t just interpret the numbers—they helped us uncover the ‘why’ behind the feedback and provided practical, strategic guidance to act on it. Mercer turned raw results into a clear roadmap for meaningful change, aligning every step with our culture and goals. This partnership has been a game-changer for how we support our people.” - US-based finance industry customer

“I wanted to send a quick note to let you know how incredibly impressed and grateful our team is for the partnership we have with Eclectik. I can confidently say that your CSM is truly worth her weight in gold to our team. Her thoughtfulness, responsiveness, and sheer creative problem-solving throughout the project were truly off the charts.” - US-based finance industry customer

Action Taking: Focus Area Enhancements. In January 2026, we’re introducing enhancements to the focus area experience in Glint to improve how organizations track and act on employee feedback. With this update, focus areas will now be tied to survey cycles, and goal periods will be retired (note no focus areas will be deleted as part of this change). This change simplifies reporting and aligns focus areas more closely with survey insights.

New on your Viva Pulse platform

New Survey Option: Flexible End Date. Pulse authors can now create surveys with flexible end dates, including open-ended pulses that gather data continuously with no set closing date. With this update, authors can easily request ongoing feedback without needing to start new surveys each time, and respondents are free to submit multiple responses throughout the survey’s duration. Learn more about the Pulse authoring experience here.

Current and Upcoming Private Previews

Continuous Employee Engagement with Workplace Metrics | Preview. Improve actionability for focus areas like “Work-life balance” and “Collaboration” by bringing in workplace metrics from Viva Insights. This feature will help Senior Leaders in your organization look at supplementary data points to understand survey responses and have a more data-driven discussion with their organizations on what can be improved in these areas. Between survey cycles, this continuous data will also help you keep your teams on track. Private Preview is targeted in March 2026, but earlier builds are available starting in January, with an opportunity to give feedback. You must enable data flow from Insights to Glint on your tenant to use this feature. Express your interest here.

Ideal participants for this preview include those who use the Team summary report and Executive summary report and are open to using specific slide dimensions that we support in the preview phase. We plan to make the feature generally available early next quarter without the restriction on slide dimensions; however, during the preview phase, only specific slide dimensions will be supported. Use this form to register your interest.

Employee Feedback Agent | Preview. Enhance your Employee Listen program with The Glint Feedback Agent: a dynamic, AI-powered conversation, where employees can share what matters most through natural, chat-like interactions, whether prompted or always-on, enabling real-time feedback and deeper insights into the drivers behind their experiences. By combining Copilot intelligence, Microsoft 365 data signals, and People Science principles, the agent streamlines feedback collection and reduces administrative overhead for HR and leaders. Unlike traditional Copilot tools that simply summarize information, the Glint Agent acts as a proactive team member: it elicits actionable insights, classifies themes, and accelerates the “feedback-to-action” cycle—helping organizations respond faster and more effectively to employee needs. Be among the first to experience a new era of continuous engagement and actionable feedback with the Glint Employee Feedback Agent.

Discover skills used by employees – and how to act on them – with the new Skills landscape report

zachminers — Fri, 05 Dec 2025 20:55:16 GMT

Given the diversification of skill sets in today’s global workforce, it’s more important than ever for business leaders to stay informed about the skills used by their employees. This information can be difficult to ascertain, given today’s broadly distributed workforce, the variety and complexity of HR information management systems, and the lack of unifying connectors between them.

To that end, we’re excited to announce the general availability of the Skills landscape Power BI report for advanced analysis in Viva Insights. With this new reporting capability, organizations can gain a much broader set of insights about the skills used by their employees, including but not limited to AI skills such as machine learning, prompt engineering, and Generative AI.

With this information, business leaders are empowered to make more informed decisions when it comes to workforce planning, talent management, and skilling initiatives.

The report integrates skills data from People Skills to help analysts and business leaders learn more about the specific types of skills people are using at their organizations. In addition to AI skills, the report can identify a broad range of other skill sets held by employees such as business development, content creation, marketing research, and IT accessibility.

Top skill areas insights

This section of the report provides an interactive way for users to explore their organization’s capabilities with greater depth and structure. Users can drill up to broader skill areas or drill down to view the specific top skills based on their selection. This hierarchy-based navigation provides both a high-level bird’s eye view and the ability to uncover the underlying strengths that contribute to each skill area.

Areas of specialization

These insights highlight skills that are highly prevalent within a small number of groups in the organization, helping users uncover top areas of skills concentration within the organization and drill into key strengths of a particular group, for decisions around talent deployment, workforce planning, and learning investments. 

Customization options

The Skills group customization feature empowers users to define critical skill areas based on evolving business priorities. Users can now tailor a group of skills from a default grouping, to include or exclude certain skills and ensure the new grouping reflects core organizational needs.

Additionally, the report offers a variety of customization options to give users greater flexibility to tailor the insights to their organization’s needs. For example, users can either exclude confirmed skills or AI-inferred skills to zoom into the insights based solely on AI inferences, or people’s input.

Interactive Skills hierarchy exploration

This report offers a focused, intuitive view of the skills hierarchy, allowing users to easily search for and explore the hierarchy of specific skills, such as Machine Learning. On-page guidance further supports users in navigating these skills connections effectively. These insights facilitate decisions in shaping skills architecture and designing targeted learning strategies.   

Skill descriptions

When users hover over skills in the report, they’ll see a clear, concise description of that specific skill to help them understand the underlying capability. This feature provides the right context, so users can interpret skills accurately. Since the skill name can carry different meanings depending on timing or organizational context, these descriptions help ensure that decisions are made based on a precise understanding of what each skill represents.

Skills landscape report playbook

Users can download a playbook directly from the report query setup page, which provides an introduction to the integration with People Skills and lays out sample scenarios with step-by-step instructions tied to common organizational business questions. It also includes a breakdown of the data output, along with high-level instructions on how to join datasets for users who want to perform custom analyses, build their own reports, or combine the data with additional sources. This resource enhances the usability of the report for users, whether they’re first starting to explore the insights or conduct deeper analytical work.

Tutorial and scripts on GitHub for connecting People Skills to Viva Insights data

The tutorial helps users take the next step by connecting the People Skills dataset with other datasets such as Copilot and collaboration data in Viva Insights to answer big business questions to go beyond what the out-of-the-box report provides.

The guide walks through practical, real-world scenarios, from identifying subject-matter experts in specific skill areas to mapping broader capability clusters and uncovering gaps in skills, such as:

How many people are using Prompt Engineering skills in our organization, and which departments have them?

Are employees with AI-related skills more likely to adopt Copilot?

Each scenario includes clear explanations and is supported by ready-to-use R and Python code samples. This makes advanced analysis more accessible by letting users focus on the business questions while the provided scripts take on the heavier technical work.

Publishing the report to the Viva Insights web app

Analysts can publish the Skills landscape report directly to leaders in the Viva Insights web app. Leaders can view the aggregate report with data automatically scoped to their team, making the insights more relevant and easier to consume and act on. This capability streamlines delivery, reduces manual data sharing, and ensures leaders have timely, relevant insights to support decision-making.

Learn more about publishing reports.

The Skills landscape report is available to all customers who have eligible licenses to access People Skills and Viva Insights. Learn more about this exciting new report, how to set it up, and access and interpret its insights.

Feedback on Glint Survey User Interface

JustinB — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 18:56:26 GMT

I don't know where this really belongs, because there isn't any obvious feedback location. On the off chance someone has an in with the product team:

I just completed a Glint survey for my company, answering questions about another employee's performance on a 5-point scale, with the opportunity to add comments for each answer. I absolutely hated the web interface. Three big problems, and I don't know how much is standard for this survey tool and how much is correctable by the survey creator. (1) There were 22 questions and you saw each one only after answering the previous one. I know this is pretty standard for web surveys, and when each question is independent of the next it can make sense so that the user doesn't skip a question unintentionally or get lost, but for evaluating a complex thing like a person's performance I want to see all the questions and then go back and figure out what to say and where to say it. I would much rather have a page with all questions at once. My solution was to answer each with a non-committal average and then go back and figure out my true answer for each. (2) Way too much white space. A lot of scrolling up and down to read and re-read and answer. At least I had a mouse. If I was doing this with a touch pad or on a touch screen I would have skipped it entirely. (3) The comment button for each question was below the 5-point scale. If you hovered over #3 the comment button would show there, if you hovered over #4 the button would be there. Fine. Then you click on #4 and if you tried to click on the comment button you found that the survey had moved to the next question and your were commenting on the wrong question, so you had to delete your comment and scroll back up to the previous question where you wanted to comment. UI fail.

Thanks for reading!

News to Know – Volume 2, Edition 9, November 2025

amywheater — Thu, 13 Nov 2025 12:02:47 GMT

To help you get the most out of Viva Glint & Pulse, this newsletter brings you the latest insights, updates, and enhancements designed to elevate your platform usage and employee listening programs. Be sure to check out the new "Customer Success Stories" section showcasing an inspiring example from DocuSign.

New on your Viva Glint platform

Admin Self Service: Data Retention Update. Last month we shared the new feature enabling admin to retain identifiable data for deleted users. We initially planned to restart Entra Delete Signals in Viva Glint on November 1st. However, since we are still working on enhancements to give Admins more control over user data management, especially regarding Entra Delete Signals, we will continue to pause Entra Delete Signal in Viva Glint until the end of June 2026. The signals will resume on July 1, 2026. This extension will give us time to implement all necessary user data controls for Admins, such as email address/employee ID retention, viewing a list of deleted users, and restoring users, when possible, before reactivating the Entra Delete Signals. Additional information can be found in the Message Center as well as here and here.

UI Enhancements: Visual Indicator Added for Required Questions. In the past, when survey takers tried to skip a survey question that required a response they would see an error message. To make things clearer, we've added the text * Required under questions that are mandatory. This will help survey takers spot questions that must be answered right away to avoid confusion and disruption.

UI Enhancements: Updated Placeholder Text for Comments. The default comment placeholder text for rating questions in Viva Glint surveys has been updated from Add a comment (optional) to What can be improved in this area and what’s working well? to further encourage survey participants to provide thoughtful, actionable, and higher-quality feedback. This change is intended to drive more frequent and meaningful responses. Please note that this update applies only to the default placeholder text for rating questions; the placeholder text remains customizable, and any existing customized placeholder text will remain unchanged.

Reporting: Workplace Patterns Report. Now generally available in Viva Glint, this report highlights the relationships between employee survey scores and workplace activity and collaboration patterns without custom analysis. Enabled for administrators and extendable to other roles, this feature allows users to quickly identify and share actionable insights, enabling faster, data-driven decisions and boosting engagement across your organization. Learn more here.

Reporting: Regional Benchmarks. Building on the refreshed Global, Top 10%, Top 25%, and Industry benchmark suites in Viva Glint earlier this year, we have updated the Country & Region benchmark suites for 2025. These new benchmarks offer organizations more precise and up-to-date comparative insights into employee feedback across different regions, supporting better decision-making and more targeted action plans. Make sure to opt into benchmarks in the platform to access the benchmarks and related resources.

Copilot Enhancements: Multilingual Support. Viva Glint Copilot Localization lets users interact with Copilot in their chosen language, supporting prompts and responses in more than 70 languages. Copilot replies in the language set on the user's dashboard by default, but if a prompt is submitted in another language or contains mixed languages, Copilot will detect this and respond in the same language. This applies to both the Copilot sidecar and comments panel, making it easier for HR and managers in global organizations to use Copilot seamlessly. Advanced language detection and translation help Copilot deliver accurate and useful responses, regardless of language or dashboard settings. Learn more here and here.

Kindly note that this enhancement will be rolled out gradually throughout November and is expected to be fully rolled out by the end of the month. For the latest updates, please refer to the M365 roadmap item until it becomes available to all customers.

Copilot Updates: Known Issues, Improvements, Model Upgrade. We’re committed to improving your experience with Copilot in Viva Glint. Here are three key updates:

Topic Count in Comment Summarization - The number of topics in comment summaries may not have matched user instructions previously. This issue has been fixed and should now work correctly.
Sample Comment Count Display Issue - The displayed count of sampled comments may be inaccurate, though the underlying data and summarization are correct. This display-only issue has been fixed and should now work correctly.
Applying Manager Hierarchy Filter - When asking Copilot to summarize comments by manager hierarchy, the filter may not apply correctly. As a workaround, apply the manager hierarchy filter to the report first, then request the summary. We’re working on a permanent fix.

Model Upgrade Spotlights - In July, we upgraded Copilot to newer GPT models. As a result, you may notice that Copilot’s responses to the same prompt could differ from those generated prior to July. This change reflects our ongoing commitment to leveraging the most advanced AI models available. We continuously evaluate the latest large language models for performance and accuracy and will keep you informed whenever significant model upgrades occur. Your feedback is invaluable as we strive to enhance Copilot’s capabilities.

Visit the new blog post here to learn about another exciting Copilot enhancement coming soon!

Read it here.

Customer Success Stories

Docusign Accelerates Speed of Insights by 92% with AI-Powered Analysis

In any global company, timely and accurate data is essential for shaping go-to-market strategy, and Docusign is no exception. When launching a strategic employee survey for one of our largest departments responsible for go-to-market strategy, the goal was clear: quickly synthesize feedback to help leaders with product selling approaches and enablement, then guide key action planning and strategic decision-making.

The Challenge: Data Volume vs. Time

The survey had a high response rate with over 3,000 detailed and thoughtful comments from employees. These comments had rich insights but would have been incredibly time-intensive to process manually. Traditional analysis would have taken weeks, delaying decisions that needed to happen quickly. The volume of the data, combined with limited bandwidth from our small but mighty People Analytics team, made a faster, scalable approach essential.

The AI Solution: Speed and Precision

To meet the demand for quick, actionable insights, we implemented an approach that used both Viva Glint Copilot and Gemini to help analyze employee comments. Copilot was used primarily for the initial analysis across the thousands of comments, helping us create themes across all comments, themes from each specific survey question, and ideas for actions - all of which would have taken our team weeks, but was now accomplished in mere hours. This allowed us to pivot from manual data crunching to strategic analysis almost instantly.

The Results: 92% Time Savings and Increased Speed to Strategic Impact

Implementing AI into our survey analysis process shattered our previous timelines. An effort that would typically consume around 60 hours of manual work (including comment analysis, theme identification, summarization, comparisons, and action taking suggestions) was condensed to just 5 hours, representing a nearly 92% reduction in spent time.

Most critically, key findings were delivered to leadership within 24 hours of the survey closing. This speed allowed leadership to immediately move into action planning and strategic decision-making. In summary, using AI enabled us to quickly and accurately surface key issues important to employees, provide impactful, detailed insights that were incredibly helpful to leadership, and helped facilitate action planning and strategic decision-making.

The Future of Surveys is AI-Powered

The success of using AI for this strategic survey reinforced our belief that AI, specifically Viva Glint Copilot, is a powerful and transformative tool for all People teams. Inspired by the strategic survey success, our People Analytics team launched Copilot to our People team partners, developing internal training to ensure that Copilot is being used in a way that maximizes its impact. Our partners are now using Viva Glint Copilot to help gain insights from the feedback (comments) shared by employees in our largest company Engagement Pulse Surveys. Further Viva Glint Copilot use cases are planned for the future.

Results not available even with 5 employee responses

Diana_Vank — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 20:14:21 GMT

On the last October Employee signals, I have confirmation that all 5 direct reports have completed the survey, yet the dashboard is not generating the appropriate data. Is this a bug or has there been recent changes to the survey logic?

We’re excited to introduce Copilot Highlights—a new capability in Viva Glint that helps leaders quickly interpret employee survey results using the power of AI. Now available in private preview, Copilot Highlights brings clarity to your Team Summary and Executive Summary reports by surfacing strengths, opportunities, and trends that matter most.

Restricting Survey Access by Section

cassbree — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 19:54:49 GMT

Hello,

Is there a way to create multiple sections in a survey so that managers can view only one section and administrators can view another? The documentation I found only mentions response thresholds, not how to mask section results. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Unable to view insights without active Exchange Online account

Natasza1 — Thu, 06 Nov 2025 08:40:31 GMT

Hi,

I am getting this message "Unable to view insights. To access Viva Insights for the web or Microsoft Teams, you must have an active Exchange Online account.", when I try to install/open Viva Insights app on Teams or when I try to open insights.cloud.microsoft. When I try to do it through viva.cloud.microsoft I am just getting a blank page after clicking on it. I have Microsoft Plan F3 and Microsoft Viva Suite.

360 Feedback - feedback provider enquiries

Xiao_Chiu — Thu, 06 Nov 2025 02:53:57 GMT

Is there a limit of the max number of feedback providers (eg. peers, colleagues) that can be invited to response to the 360 feedback survey?
I am aware that subject is allowed to invite more feedback provider. Can a manager invite more feedback provider on behalf of subject? If yes, how to configure this?
