Viva Insights

Improve wellbeing and productivity with data - privacy-first insights for individuals, managers, and leaders to reduce burnout risk, strengthen focus time, and build healthier working habits.

Viva Insights provides personal, managerial, and organisational insights designed to help people work smarter and protect wellbeing. It can surface personal insights such as focus time, meeting patterns, and prompts for healthy habits; provide managers with aggregated insights about team collaboration trends; and support organisational decision-making through broader analytics. The platform is designed with privacy principles - individual insights remain personal, while manager and organisational views rely on aggregation and minimum group size thresholds.
LW IT Solutions delivers Viva Insights as a measured enablement programme: confirm the outcomes you want (wellbeing, productivity, focus, meeting quality), design a governance and privacy approach, configure the Viva Insights experience and relevant settings, and support adoption across leaders, managers, and employees. The aim is to turn ‘interesting metrics’ into sustainable behavioural change - through clear guidance, targeted training, and operational routines that use insights to drive improvements.
