Viva Goals

 

Microsoft Viva Goals helps teams and companies to set goals – showing everyone what they need to achieve.

Microsoft Viva Goals is designed to enhance employee engagement and productivity by aligning individual objectives with organisational goals.

Launched in 2022, it emphasises a culture of transparency, accountability, and collaboration, allowing teams to create, track, and manage their goals seamlessly within the Microsoft ecosystem. The platform utilises the Objectives and Key Results (OKR) framework to help organisations establish clear objectives, measurable outcomes, and prioritise tasks effectively.

By integrating with tools like Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and Outlook, Viva Goals ensures that employees remain connected and informed about their progress and that of their peers, promoting a sense of community and shared purpose.

 

Why use Viva Goals?

Viva Goals connects teams to their organisation’s strategic priorities, offering employees clear direction and purpose across all levels of the business.

Having clearly defined personal targets, as well as more clarity around company goals, helps to enable focus, create impact, and inspire continuous improvement. With the shift towards remote and hybrid working, it’s more important than ever that employees feel connected to their team and aligned to organisation-wide strategies.

Viva Goals enables employees to collaborate on tasks, share insights and outcomes with others and participate in group activities. This ensures that everyone in your team is on the same page, even when working remotely. Additionally, its analytics capabilities provide real-time insights into goal progress and performance metrics, enabling teams to adjust their strategies as needed.

As organisations increasingly recognise the importance of aligning personal and professional aspirations with broader business objectives, Microsoft Viva Goals stands out as a robust solution that fosters continuous feedback, development, and engagement, ultimately contributing to enhanced team performance and organisational success.

Over the years, Core and the University of Law have built a strong relationship based on trust, expertise and knowledge.
