Microsoft Places, an AI-powered workplace app for flexible work, will be generally available in Q4 CY24. Places reimagines flexible work with AI by intelligently coordinating your hybrid team to make the most of in-office days, modernizing how employees connect, and optimizing space management with occupancy and utilization data. 

There will be two new service plans for core and premium features:

As an existing customer, you will see an additional service plan as part of your Office 365 subscription: Places core. This service plan includes all core features such as setting up and updating location plans, viewing collaborators’ location plans, accessing peek card experiences, scheduling in person meetings, managing hybrid RSVP, and workplace presence related capabilities.

If you have Teams Premium, you will have Places enhanced premium features like Places Finder, intelligent booking, Places Explorer, Places Space Analytics, and auto-release policies.  

We will be backfilling these service plans into the following SKUs below.

List of SKUs for Places core:

  • Microsoft 365 Business Basic
  • Microsoft 365 Business Standard

We will begin rolling out both service plans in mid- to late-November for all platforms. Once the Places core service plan is deployed to your organization, core features will become available within your Office 365 subscription with basic set up and onboarding buildings to Places directory. Enhanced experiences will require additional deployment planning.

Microsoft Viva Glint and Viva Insights integration for sentiment and collaboration data MC904541 Published Oct 4, 2024

Coming soon: A new Glint and organizational insights Power BI report in the Microsoft Viva advanced insights app and in the Microsoft Viva Glint dashboard that integrates Microsoft Viva Insights data with Viva Glint.

In the advanced insights app, analysts can use the Power BI report template to connect sentiment data from Viva Glint with collaboration data from Viva Insights. This will empower analysts to better understand which behaviors might drive employee sentiment outcomes and take actions to help improve employee sentiment and behavioral metrics.

On the Viva Glint dashboard, HR users can use collaboration data from Viva Insights to filter and analyze Glint engagement survey results. This will allow HR users to see how different workplace patterns may impact employee engagement, so they can help leaders identify impactful opportunities to improve the employee experience.

This integration will allow HR users and analysts to combine sentiment and collaboration data in the advanced insights app as well as Viva Glint into the rhythm of their business, to better understand their employees' full work experience. Integrating Viva Glint employee survey scores with Viva Insights data helps identify opportunities and strengths to meet organizational goals.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 416075.
