We are pleased to announce that Viva Pulse is now included with your Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription. Together with Viva measurement, it helps highlight opportunities to better plan and accelerate your organization’s Copilot journey by understanding the most impactful actions to improve outcomes. Using Viva Pulse to measure Copilot implementation Viva Pulse is a real-time survey feedback tool, offering flexible and democratized capabilities for change leaders, local champions and managers to gather and act on employee feedback quickly when it matters most. Viva Pulse empowers leaders to gather real-time feedback from teams during Copilot implementation through brief surveys. Pulse helps identify challenges and concerns quickly, enabling prompt and localized responses to improve the Copilot journey. With Viva Pulse, users can unlock answers to the key questions for how teams experience change: How are teams adjusting to Copilot? What Copilot adoption barriers do we need to address? How can we better support Copilot transformation across different groups? Readiness: gauge how willing and capable the target population is to embrace and adopt Copilot when compared to desired goals. Readiness also includes the identification of all tasks and workflows that may benefit most when Copilot-assisted. Adoption: understand how the target population is experiencing Copilot, how Copilot-assisted tasks and roles are being affected, and identify actions to improve implementation, usage, and value. Impact: recognize the value created and outcomes achieved for different levels in the organization and show how ongoing changes in your Copilot journey are enhancing the organization. Lessons learned are applied to other areas of the business, spreading across different processes and teams to create a compounding effect over time. Viva Pulse survey results for the Copilot impact template will be automatically shared to the Microsoft Copilot Dashboard. At this time, individual Copilot impact sentiment will not be joined to behavioral metrics in Viva Insights Analyst Workbench.
