Microsoft Viva: the key to teleworking

The first Employee Experience Platform

For Wezen Group, human value is our most precious capital and the key to success. That is why, when we became aware of this new platform, and being a Microsoft Partner, we decided to add it as part of the services we provide.

Microsoft Viva is not an application or a service, but rather a platform to improve remote work and foster a culture that allows both individuals and companies to thrive. It ´s a tool that brings together communications, knowledge, learning and resources into an integrated experience that enables individuals and teams to be their best from anywhere.

This platform includes 4 modules:

1- Viva Connections: represents the next level in the corporate intranet to promote company culture, keep up to date with the most important news, quickly access company resources, and improve the relationship between colleagues.

What does it offer?

– A customisable dashboard environment.

– Easy access to team leaders.

– Organised company documents and policies.

– An automatically updated news feed, like social media.

– A tab where customers can access useful information.

2- Viva Learning: is the corporate training portal where small courses, webinars and other educational experiences can be assigned to different team members to ensure professional development and on-the-job training according to their objectives.

4- Viva Insights: Work is different now; we live together less and connect virtually more. Separating work and personal life is becoming more challenging. Insights provides tools to nurture employee productivity and well-being in an increasingly complex, hyper-connected and sometimes isolated environment. We believe it is important for companies to promote good mental and physical health for their employees.
