Microsoft Viva Learning: Strengthening Companies’ Skilling & Supporting Growth
What is Viva?
Microsoft Viva is an online employee experience platform powered by Microsoft 365 and experienced through Microsoft Teams and SharePoint. Viva fosters a culture that empowers employees and teams to be their best from anywhere, helping employees work more efficiently and creating honest and open communication in the workplace. It’s easy to ask for help by standing up and walking over to a colleague in person but with hybrid workforces, companies need to help their team adapt to different communication and learning styles – that's where Viva comes in!
Viva Learning
Adjusting to a fluctuating and hybrid workforce is challenging. Employees are learning to adapt quickly to an increased use of technology for collaboration and communication. Learning any new solution can be a difficult task. Microsoft created the Viva Platform to enhance the learning experience for better growth of our most important human resources.
In Viva Learning you can:
- Integrate learning into existing tools
- Integrate learning into the tools and platforms where users already spend their time with Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365 to help accelerate the learning process.
- Simplify and centralize learning
- Bring together learning content and tools from LinkedIn Learning, Microsoft Learning and other third-party providers to a centralized location in Microsoft Teams.
- Get personalized and relevant content
- Users can find the right content and discover new skills with personalized recommendations and search.

Creating a centralized learning portal for employees helps educate them using content libraries. Filled with information on subjects they need to know, employees can then share and discuss with their colleagues for increased engagement. For on-the-job learning, employees have access to new skills and content right inside of Teams.
