MC891236 - Microsoft Viva: Changes to Viva Insights metrics and default report pages for leaders

Coming soon to Microsoft Viva Insights: To enhance reliability and performance, we are transitioning to a more agile, high-performing API. This change will ensure a more consistent and robust user experience. Users will retain access to all reports but will see some design and content changes.

When this will happen:

General Availability (Worldwide, GCC): We will begin rolling out late September 2024 and expect to complete by late October 2024.

How this will affect your organization:

These changes will apply to both default report pages and metric reports:

• The New hire onboarding report focuses on a specific group in the organization (new hires). It will adhere to current standards by displaying data only when the number of new hires meets the minimum group size requirement.
• Specific rounding rules are applied to time-based metrics to make trends more meaningful and significant. For durations under 1 hour, rounding is to the nearest 15 minutes. For durations over 1 hour, rounding is to the nearest 30 minutes.

Change to metric reports only:

• Metric reports will be enhanced to provide a four-week average, aligning with default report time frames. As a result, peer benchmarks, Last week’s snapshot, Inspiration library articles, and Recommended actions will no longer be accessible in the metric reports.
• The home page cards for metric reports will be updated to compare metrics to the previous week instead of peer organizations.

Updated metric reports:

This change will be on by default.
