Advanced Analytics — Manager & Team Insights

Viva Insights Advanced Analysis tools allow designated Insights Analysts to run person queries that combine Microsoft 365 behavioral signals (meeting load, email volume, after-hours collaboration, focus time, manager contact frequency, cross-team network breadth) with organisational HR data uploaded by the employer (role, level, department, location, manager hierarchy). Analysts can run custom queries, build Power BI reports, and publish those reports to business leaders and HR decision-makers. Microsoft positions the product with explicit privacy protections (minimum group size of 10, no individual data surfaced to managers by default), but the Advanced Analysis licence grants analysts access to person-level query results that can be filtered, segmented by HR attributes, and shared with leaders. When combined with HR org data, these queries enable behavioural analysis of employees by role, level, or demographic segment that can directly inform employment-related decisions.
