Viva Goals Employee Experience Engagement: 1Month Proof of Concept

Microsoft Viva Goals: A Goal-Alignment Solution to Help Teams Align Around Priorities

Magic happens when teams come together for a common purpose and align on strategic objectives. Finding a purpose and staying aligned, however, is more difficult to do than to say. Siloed goals, ambiguous ownership, and vague metrics impede progress and make it difficult to make a real difference.

Here comes Microsoft Viva Goals, a goal-setting and management solution that makes it simpler to connect employees with your business's goals and priorities. Using Viva Goals, teams define shared objectives and update progress, right in the flow of work. Moreover, to accomplish this, it leverages the OKR (Objectives and Key Results) framework.

OKR is a management system that aligns your entire organization to strategy, changing the focus from outputs - the work your team does every day - to outcomes. This mentality shift makes your team highly engaged and understands how they are contributing to the overall goal. Having said that, Viva Goals empowers teams and companies to drive results and a thriving business. Moving further, let’s highlight the key benefits of this goal management solution from Microsoft.

• Contextual Data with Notes Apart from tracking progress automatically, the owners of OKRs can also comment on how the goals are progressing, and if the numbers do not provide a full picture, they might manually score the results.

• Built-in Notifications Receive alerts for goals that started later than expected, as well as when you haven't defined any critical results or have defined too many. Also, you get warnings for too easy objectives, as the score doesn't just reflect your ability to achieve the goal, but also how helpful the goal was. Why Celebal Technologies?
