Our client is a global leader in the development and distribution of scientifically validated assessments for mental health, education, and career development. With offices across multiple countries, they employ a diverse workforce of highly skilled professionals dedicated to improving lives through accurate and reliable assessment solutions.
Our client, a leading provider of innovative assessment solutions in the healthcare industry, faced numerous challenges in aligning employee performance with organizational objectives and fostering continuous learning. To address these concerns, 2toLead recommended the implementation of Microsoft Viva Goals and Viva Learning, two integrated tools that will revolutionize their approach to goal setting, tracking, and employee development.
Lack of goal alignment - Our client faced challenges in aligning individual goals with the company's strategic objectives. This misalignment resulted in reduced productivity and limited visibility into progress.

Limited learning opportunities - They recognized the importance of fostering a culture of continuous learning but struggled to provide accessible and relevant learning resources to employees.
After careful evaluation of their requirements and challenges, 2toLead proposed the adoption of Microsoft Viva Goals and Viva Learning.
