Modern Workplace
Microsoft Viva
Reach everyone in your organisation, including the people who don't sit at a desk. Valto designs and delivers employee experience on Microsoft Viva: internal communications people actually read, learning in the flow of work, and an intranet that reaches frontline and mobile staff on the device they already carry. Our Modern Workplace specialists handle strategy, deployment and the adoption work that decides whether any of it gets used.

Improve the employee experience
Technology alone doesn't create engagement. Employees need easy access to information, learning, communication and support to perform at their best. The usual position is an intranet nobody visits, announcements sent by email that a third of staff never open, and knowledge held by people rather than in anything searchable. For organisations with site-based, mobile or shift-working staff, the reach problem is worse: the tools were designed for people at a desk. Valto fixes the reach first and the content second. Our specialists establish who is actually being reached today, design communications and learning around how your people work, and deliver it inside the tools they already have on their phone or laptop. We then measure whether it landed, because engagement work without measurement is guesswork.
What can Valto deliver?
Our specialists assess who you are currently reaching, what your people need to find, and what you are already licensed for, before recommending an approach.
Internal communications
Design and deliver company news, leadership updates and announcements through channels your people actually use, with visibility of what was read rather than what was sent.
Reaching frontline and mobile staff
Deliver communications, resources and processes to site-based, shift-working and mobile employees on their phones, so the people furthest from head office stop being the last to know.
Intranet replacement
Replace an ageing or unused intranet with a personalised employee destination inside Microsoft 365, without maintaining a separate platform.
Onboarding and employee journeys
Give new starters a structured first few weeks: what to read, who to meet, what to complete, delivered in sequence rather than as a folder of links.
Learning in the flow of work
Bring your training content, whether Microsoft, third-party or your own, into the tools people already work in, so learning does not require a separate login and a spare afternoon.
Microsoft 365 adoption
Use employee experience tooling to drive adoption of the wider Microsoft 365 investment, so features you already pay for reach the people who would benefit.
Our Microsoft Viva services
Build a roadmap for employee experience
We help organisations understand where Viva can create the greatest impact and define a strategy aligned to business objectives and employee needs. That starts with reach and ownership: who you need to communicate with, who is currently missed, and who inside the organisation will own this once it exists. Employee experience without an owner reverts to email within a quarter.
What we build with Viva
Communications that reach everyone
A personalised employee destination in Teams and on mobile, with company news, leadership updates and campaign planning. (Viva Connections, Viva Amplify)
Communities and conversation
Spaces for recognition, discussion and leadership visibility across a distributed workforce. (Viva Engage)
Learning people actually complete
Training brought into the flow of work rather than a separate portal. (Viva Learning)
Insight into how work happens
Aggregated, privacy-respecting visibility of meeting load, focus time and collaboration patterns, for leaders and individuals. (Viva Insights)
Turn Viva capability into business value
Viva sits on licences most organisations already hold. The value comes from reach, ownership and measurement. Our specialists target the work where it changes something you can observe.
Common employee experience challenges
Expertise for the reasons internal communication doesn't land
Many organisations struggle with fragmented communication, difficulty sharing knowledge and low engagement across distributed teams. Employees often waste time searching for information, miss important updates or lack visibility into learning and development opportunities. We address these during design rather than after launch. We help organisations address:
- Site-based and shift-working staff who never see head office communications
- An intranet nobody visits, maintained by someone who has other priorities
- Announcements sent by email with no visibility of who read them
- Knowledge held by long-serving individuals and nowhere else
- Content published once and never reviewed, so nothing looks current
Common Viva use cases

Why organisations choose Valto
Connected, across Microsoft
Employee experience depends on what sits behind it
Viva surfaces content, not creates it. A polished employee destination pointing at an unmaintained SharePoint site, or a learning experience with no content behind it, makes the underlying gap more visible rather than less. Valto brings together expertise across Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, Microsoft 365, Copilot, learning platforms and business systems. That lets our specialists sort out the content, structure and ownership underneath as well as the experience on top, and to say when the useful work is editorial rather than technical. By bringing communications, learning and knowledge together in one place, Viva helps employees access the information and support they need to succeed.
