What is Viva Amplify?

In today’s quickly growing hybrid era, it can be quite challenging to not only be heard by others but also be truly listened to. While many of us feel like we’re simply screaming into the void, finding the proper channels, messaging, and timing are essential to successfully breaking through the noise. Getting your point across and sending a message shouldn’t be a burdensome task which is why Microsoft’s new Viva module, Viva Amplify, helps users solve this exact problem.

Introducing Viva Amplify 

Viva Amplify is a communication platform that aims to improve the employee experience and—as its name implies—”amplify” one’s voice. Its main goal is to help users communicate with larger audiences and form strong, more meaningful connections.  

This central hub for communication takes messages and turns them into campaigns that can reach further viewers and generate more awareness. Then you can tap into analytics, targets, and metrics to help better understand the true results and effectiveness of your message and optimize your communication efforts with data-driven decisions.

Viva Amplify also encourages teamwork, allowing you to easily access and collaborate across several campaigns throughout the whole organization.

Viva Amplify is set up in a very simple and organized manner for the user to exhaust the least amount of effort possible and still attain the outstanding results they desire. Another key feature that many users will appreciate is the option to pre-assign a publication schedule for campaigns. Users may choose what time to publish campaigns and where and to whom they wish to send them. Campaigns are then tracked for engagement, reach, and effectiveness levels giving you a deeper understanding of how well the message was communicated, perceived, and accepted. On top of this, you gain the opportunity to form more connections with each campaign that you publish as you get to reach out and connect with a larger number of people! Lastly, Viva Amplify offers numerous resources available at the click of a button to help you understand Viva Amplify better and view other campaigns that may interest you.
