Are you having some trouble making your day-to-day work schedule manageable? Microsoft developed an application where you can personalize recommendations that can help you manage your time and keep you up to date on tasks that need to get done for the day. Microsoft Viva Insights is part of Microsoft Viva. This application has a web feature and tools that can help people or businesses with data-driven, privacy-protected insights and recommendations to improve productivity and well-being.
