What’s Inside Microsoft’s Employee Experience Platform For Enterprises
The global economy is facing headwinds in the aftermath of the pandemic. The pandemic has made work from home the new normal, and one of the major difficulties among organisations was the lack of communication between the employees. To that end, Microsoft has unveiled an AI-powered employee experience platform, dubbed, Viva.

The employees can also participate in forums like employee resource groups from Microsoft Teams. Viva Insights: Provides personalised and actionable insights.
