Introducing Microsoft Viva Learning

We are pleased to introduce Microsoft Viva Learning, an experience in Microsoft Teams that empowers people to grow and businesses to thrive by bringing learning into the flow of work.

Learning needs to be more engaging and seamlessly integrated into the places people already spend their time at work. Across the board, employees report low engagement with learning and have limited time for upskilling, yet learning opportunities are linked to workplace happiness, wellbeing, and organizational success. These insights led us to build a new, transformational learning experience that makes your learning content available in one place – including LinkedIn Learning, Microsoft Learn, third-party content providers, Learning Management Systems, and a company's own content.

We’re excited to unveil Microsoft Viva Learning, and we look forward to learning on this journey together.

94% of employees say they would stay at a company longer if it invested in their learning and development.
