Microsoft Viva Learning
Discover how the Microsoft Viva module Viva Learning fosters career growth and personal development while in the flow of work.
What is Microsoft Viva Learning?
Viva Learning is a learning platform which seamlessly incorporates education and personal development into the flow of work.
Launched in early 2021 as part of the broader Microsoft Viva suite, it aims to foster a culture of continuous learning within organisations. Viva Learning centralises learning resources from various sources, including LinkedIn Learning, Microsoft Learn, and third-party content providers, making it easier for employees to access relevant training materials directly within the applications they already use.
The platform provides personalised learning experiences by recommending courses and content based on individual roles, skills, and career aspirations. Managers can assign training programs, track progress, and encourage team members to develop new skills, thus aligning professional development with organisational goals.
Additionally, employees can create playlists of learning content, collaborate on training through Teams, and share knowledge, promoting a peer-to-peer learning culture.
By adding a learning tab to Microsoft Teams channels, you can easily search and share content, collaborate with colleagues, track progress, discover personalised learning suggestions and more.
Viva Learning also hosts rich analytics tools that help organisations gauge learning engagement and effectiveness, enabling targeted improvements in training strategies. By integrating learning into daily workflows, Microsoft Viva Learning transforms employee development from an occasional activity into a continuous, integral part of the work environment.
This not only boosts employee engagement and satisfaction but also enhances overall organisational productivity and agility in adapting to future skills demands, making it an essential tool for companies who are looking to thrive in a rapidly changing business landscape.
