Leaders and managers are struggling with strategic alignment, visibility, and employee expectations. Indeed, recent research shows only 13% of managers know how work contributes to strategy (Microsoft Work Trend Index 2022: “No one knows your strategy – not even your top leaders”). The same research shows that employees want to know that their work matters and makes an impact.

Microsoft Viva Goals is a goal-setting and management solution that aligns teams to your organization’s strategic priorities, driving results and a thriving business. Viva Goals enables individuals and companies to organize and track their goals through “Objectives and Key Results” (OKRs). Viva Goals immerses everyone in the company’s purpose and top priorities and creates a culture of engaged employees focused on achieving common goals.
