Introduction
Modern successful businesses monitor their results, but how can the daily activities that lead to those results be measured? Collaboration is the key. Employees communicate with their managers and colleagues through networks at the workplace. Microsoft 365 data allows them to quantify this exchange of information. Data from meetings, emails, Teams calls, and messaging activity are recorded by Microsoft 365. It’s the biggest dataset on how people spend their time at work that is produced passively from regular work-related tasks. This scenario offers the right playground for Workplace analytics and Viva insights as they show us how an employee spends their time engaging in various activities, how he/she disseminates the information both within and outside the team, and provides the data on the interaction. The employee has worked in teams across geographies. Decision-makers can find chances to implement change and enhance organizational outcomes with workplace analytics, including Collaboration overload, Manager effectiveness, Sales productivity, and Employee engagement.

Viva Insights: A Bird's Eye View
Microsoft Viva Insights enables people, groups, and companies to improve business results, improve work-life balance, and develop healthier work habits. As an individual entity, employees get private insights only visible to them to find ways to modify how they operate and produce their best work. Understanding current team norms and taking action to promote engaged and high-performing teams is made simple by manager insights. Broad visibility throughout the company is provided by leader insights, which spot chances to boost productivity and produce business results.
Use insights to strike a balance between team well-being and productivity: Managers can analyze their team’s needs for more balanced, focused, and productive work by using evidence-based insights, which can do anything from warning burnout to highlighting chances for increased well-being.
However, research indicates that many employees are not questioned about their work experiences, so managers must supplement these insights about how people operate with an awareness of how they feel. Employees report that their firm asks for feedback at least once a year, but less than half (43%) agree this. Furthermore, 75% of individuals who are asked still believe it’s insufficient, and 80% of managers agree. Managers are forced to make educated guesses and operate based on assumptions in the absence of regular input. It’s now more difficult than ever for managers to stay on top of their staff because of the hybrid work model. It’s also made getting insightful comments harder. But with the appropriate ideology of the modern workplace, both are achievable. Managers can take the following actions with Viva Insights:
- Monitor team performance with regular 1:1s
- Reduce meetings for greater focus and less stress • Increase productivity with sustainable and flexible work
- Adjust after-hours communication to set the tone.
