Survey program updates
- Onboarding and exit survey templates are now part of every Viva Glint package. These lifecycle surveys provide insight into the employee experience at critical points during the employee journey. Taking action to improve the employee experience helps position new hires to be successful, while increasing engagement and retention rates.
- Measure productivity at your organization. Look beyond engagement alone to create an employee experience that helps people be more productive and higher performing. Create a Viva Glint productivity survey or add items to your Recurring Engagement survey.
- You can now lower confidentiality settings in an Always-On survey, enabling you to gather employee feedback at a very personal level.
- Launch a distress survey. Societal or global events introduce instability and disruption to our natural patterns in work and personal lives. Without addressing fundamental concerns, organizations can’t run “business as usual.”
- Improve your performance for comment exports. To improve the Comments Report export experience, individual verbatim comments are no longer included in PowerPoint exports. Use the Export Comments to Spreadsheet option for offline comment review. Learn about the Comments report.
Support your survey takers and managers
Psychological safety training for managers – Psychological safety means that a team has a common understanding that they can take risks, share thoughts and worries, ask questions, and acknowledge errors without being afraid of negative outcomes. Psychological safety leads to innovation, creativity, and cooperation. Learn more about psychological safety training for managers.
Help users easily submit their valuable feedback. Use support guidance to communicate proactively and create resources to address commonly asked questions by survey takers. Share survey taker help content directly with your organization. You can also send survey takers to learn what accessibility tools and features are available.
