As a pandemic countermeasure for the new coronavirus infection that occurred in 2020, many companies have introduced remote work, and the demand for Microsoft Teams has expanded rapidly. Regarding the impact of these changes on working styles, Microsoft has stated that 'even if the pandemic converges, it will not be undone.'

Microsoft's view that the new coronavirus has permanently changed the way we work and learn, 'I can't go back anymore.'



As a new platform to respond to these changes, Microsoft announced Microsoft Viva on February 4th. About Viva, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella explains, 'It's a new EXP that brings everything employees need to succeed from day one, no matter when, where, or how they work.' ..

The desktop version of Viva Connections will be released in the first half of 2021 and the app version will be released in the second half of 2021.



◆ Viva Insights
Viva Insights is a personalized analysis tool for a variety of positions, including individual employees, managers and leaders.

The IT news site The Verge described this feature as 'it feels like the next step in the controversial

productivity scoring feature as an employee monitoring tool.'

LinkedIn Learning and Microsoft Learn provided by LinkedIn , a business-specific SNS, and company-specific custom contents.
