Viva Glint

Microsoft Viva's employee engagement survey product — formal full-scale engagement and pulse surveys.

Microsoft Viva Glint is the employee engagement survey product in Microsoft Viva. Originally the standalone Glint product acquired by LinkedIn (and then Microsoft), now positioned as part of the Viva family. Features include full employee-engagement surveys, pulse surveys, manager 360 surveys, onboarding and exit surveys, AI-driven trend analysis, and integration with HR systems for demographic-aware analysis. Used by HR and leadership to measure engagement formally, identify trends, and target interventions. Different from Viva Pulse which is lighter-weight, more frequent, manager-driven feedback. Glint is the structured, large-scale, formal engagement-survey tool; Pulse is the rapid, lightweight, team-level feedback tool. Both have a place in mature employee-experience programmes.
