Microsoft has announced the launch of Microsoft Viva, its first employee experience platform that brings tools for employee engagement, learning, wellbeing and knowledge discovery, directly into the flow of people’s work.
The launch comes at a time when economic and social trends are driving durable changes in workforce engagement. Amid the shift to an increasingly distributed and digital work environment, demand has grown for solutions that support corporate culture, knowledge discovery, on-the-job learning and employee wellbeing. Mohammed Arif, Business Group Director for Modern Workplace and Security at Microsoft UAE said, “A Microsoft ‘Work Reworked’ study conducted in the UAE has found that 97% of business leaders believe that their organisations will adopt a more hybrid way of working for the foreseeable future. They recognize that a new culture of resilience is needed that enables people and organizations to continuously adapt to what’s next, and countries like the UAE have always been ahead of the curve in this context. For example, the launch of the UAE digital wellbeing policy strives to ensure a balance between digital and real life, digital privacy, positive investments towards skilling, and raising awareness about the purposeful use of technology.
