Use Viva Glint to act on Strengths and Opportunities

  • Article

The Strengths & Opportunities (S&0) section is designed so a manager can focus on opportunities first, as they have the highest impact on employee engagement. For this reason, the option to Take Action appears by default in the Opportunities section. Taking action is initiated by:

  • Selecting the Take Action button.
  • Selecting the ellipses in the Strengths or the Opportunities column and selecting Take Action.

Note

If there are less than two eligible items ranked, the Strengths & Opportunities section is hidden on a user's dashboard. This can happen when:

  • There are insufficient results
  • All items have low or medium impact
  • A user is on a report filtered to only one item

Why does my screen indicate View Focus Area rather than Take Action?

When a manager has already acted - by choosing a Focus Area - the platform indicates View Focus Area. This option is to view how the manager and their team are progressing in their team conversations and action taking.

Note

Take Action or View Focus Area does not appear for users without Create Focus Areas enabled within their role permissions.

Understand realized vs. unrealized strengths

Within the strengths section, you may see "realized" or "unrealized" labels or no such label.

  • Realized strength - something your team is good at and do on a regular basis
  • Unrealized strength - something that your team is good at but doesn't practice regularly and should be considered as an opportunity
  • Unlabeled - the gap between what is realized and unrealized, for purposes of calling out the items that deserve attention

Custom Strengths and Opportunities

Outcomes and comparisons used to calculate S&Os can be customized in either of the following ways:

  • Select Settings to reveal the option to change outcomes and comparisons.
  • In the Strengths and Opportunities section, select the hyperlinked words to change the outcome or comparison.
