What Microsoft Viva Glint is
Microsoft Viva Glint uses organization-wide surveys to help improve employee engagement and performance across the employee lifecycle. Survey topics can include engagement, onboarding, exit, diversity and inclusion, digital transformation, change management and 360 feedback. Visual reports present trends, results and heat maps, while AI and natural language processing can summarize comments. The product also offers benchmarks, guided manager conversations, recommended action plans and alerts for employee populations at risk of increased attrition or decreased performance. Organizations can combine Glint survey scores with Viva Insights workplace data to explore relationships between work behaviors and engagement. Microsoft Teams can deliver survey invitations, reminders and results notifications, but not 360 feedback notifications or notifications in GCC environments. Glint supports web and API access. Its listed starting plan is $2 a month, billed yearly, with an annual commitment and minimum of 50 seats; there is no free plan. Access requires a Microsoft Entra ID account and active status in the app. Standard content supports over 70 language translations, with English as the default.
