At Microsoft, giving our employees every opportunity to thrive is critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, we have a new but familiar tool to help us do that\u2014our very own Microsoft Viva Glint<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re using Viva Glint\u2014which replaces LinkedIn Glint\u2014to check in with our more than 190,000 employees, and to respond to their feedback accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recently finished migrating our centralized, active employee listening capability to Viva Glint. As part of that, we moved our employee sentiment survey programs onto the platform, including our flagship Employee Signals program, our lifecycle surveys, and a key manager feedback survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We use Employee Signals to survey our employees twice per year. Our leaders, managers, and HR practitioners use the feedback to improve our work environment, to identify our strengths and improvement opportunities, and ultimately, to help our employees thrive more at work (which to us means helping them feel energized and empowered to do meaningful work).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cEmployee Signals is our flagship channel for listening to our employees,\u201d says Dante Myers, a director on the HR Business Insights (HRBI) Employee Listening team. “It\u2019s how we mobilize our entire company to ensure all our employees can thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In July 2023, LinkedIn Glint officially became Microsoft Viva Glint as part of our Employee Experience Platform. LinkedIn Glint was a leader in the employee feedback category with a robust people-science methodology. Shifting its capabilities to Viva Glint strengthens the insights and recommendations we can deliver to our customers. With this transition, we\u2019re rebuilding and strengthening the product, making it better adhere to our security standards while improving its reporting and admin experiences and its integration with other Microsoft products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Customer Zero for Microsoft<\/a>, it was important for us to migrate to Viva Glint so we could start taking advantage of these enhancements when we send out our Employee Signals surveys and to improve our listening systems overall. In this story, we’ll share how we achieved this technical migration, the benefits we gained, the challenges we faced, and what learnings we can pass on to other companies that want to make the same move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cViva Glint helps our managers understand insights at scale,\u201d Myers says. \u201cThey can use it to ask questions and to dive into comments that their employees have left for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

A boost from Viva Glint<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Moving to Viva Glint has given us many advantages, including access to the power of Copilot in Viva Glint<\/a>, which helps our leaders, managers and HR partners easily understand, interpret, and act on feedback we get from our employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are just a few of the benefits we\u2019ve gained from Viva Glint and its seamless integration with Copilot and other Microsoft Viva tools:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
