Checking Your Pulse in 2023 | Viva Pulse

The holidays are a time to reconnect with loved ones and get a pulse on those we hold dear. But we could all be better at keeping in touch throughout the year. It’s equally important to keep a pulse on your team. The Great Resignation has taught us many things, and one of the most important lessons is understanding your Team’s sentiments. This is no easy feat, but Microsoft is giving us a new tool to help us stay in tune — Viva Pulse. 

 

What is Viva Pulse and how will it help you in the new year 

While Viva Pulse does not literally monitor your team members’ pulse, it does have a similar concept. Viva Pulse is a new and upcoming platform that focuses on checking in with your employees and staying more connected with your Team.  

It ensures that although we may not be physically working beside one another, we still have the opportunity to take a moment out of our day and see how one another feels.

By sending a “pulse”, you receive an “inside scoop” on topics such as project status, feedback on team success, employee wellbeing, and the list goes on. This allows you to gain more information about topics that are not talked about nearly enough, and with the anonymity feature, users can truthfully share their genuine thoughts and opinions. This benefits both employees and managers as the employees are ensured that they will not be penalized for their responses, and managers can receive honest feedback, which they can then act upon to make better decisions and adjustments for the long run, keeping everyone happy! 

Why you should look forward to Viva Pulse 

This increased level of support, care, and unity are exactly what the connected workplace of the future is all about. Being provided with the opportunity to make daily check-ins with your team a more casual, acceptable, and easy task is a win-win situation for everyone involved.
