The data is clear—successful managers are the secret sauce for high-performing teams and organizations. People who recommend their manager are 2.3x more likely to demonstrate employee engagement—a key driver of business success—compared to those who don’t. Do you know the most important way managers can foster employee engagement? It’s listening to their people’s feedback and working to collaboratively take action to improve the team’s engagement. But all too often, managers—especially those who are new in their jobs—don’t know how to begin. Roadblocks prevent action. Viva Glint’s Manager Empowerment bundle is an end-to-end guided experience that significan…

We're celebrating #NationalHighFiveDay today by introducing an exciting and unique way to interact with your team members using new Together Emojis in Microsoft Teams. The new Together Emoji for high fives is currently rolling out and will be available to users soon! What are Together Emojis? “Together Emojis” are a unique concept conceived by myself and my colleague Nico Nuzzaci in 2016 to bridge the gap across the communication stream. For a long time, when you send an emoji in chat, it stays on the left or right and has always felt disconnected to us. We wanted a way for people to come together when they are apart using digital communication to foster a g…

When we refer to People Success at Microsoft Viva, we’re talking about enabling people to bring their best selves to work—in order to do their best work. That kind of atmosphere looks different from one organization to another. But our experience tells us there’s both a universal definition of People Success as well as six core elements that organizations can use to build their own thriving People Success culture. What is People Success? People Success—is it a journey? A destination? A feeling? We’d say yes to all three. People Success happens when people bring their best selves to work to do their best work. So how do organizations get to Peo…

Invariably, when I ask people what Transport Layer Security (TLS) does, they say something like, “it protects my credit card info when I buy things online.” The response is not incorrect, but it’s not the whole story, either, and let’s just ignore the server-side credit card protection requirements and PCI compliance for a moment. TLS provide three security services, with an optional fourth. The first is server authentication, in other words, “is the server I connect to the real server?” The second is channel encryption. The third is channel integrity protection. The fourth option is client authentication, in other words, the server requires the clien…

This article will guide you through the steps to convert your existing data into tamper proof data by using the ledger feature. To enable ledger for a specific table, you can migrate the data from an existing regular table to a ledger table, and then replace the original table with the ledger table. We have built the tools to help you do that. To convert a regular table into a ledger table, Microsoft recommends using the sys.sp_copy_data_in_batches stored procedure. It copies data from the source table to the target ledger table (updatable or append-only) after verifying that their schema is identical in terms of number of columns, column names and their data types…

Hello followers and welcome back to this new post of mine Today I am going to share with you an interesting experience in configuring the Logs ingestion using the new API in Azure Monitor in a data collection rule created using ARM templates. In my previous HTTP Data Collector API in a real customer scenario post, I showed a possible use of the old HTTP Data Collector API but since things changed a lot with the release of the Azure Monitor Agent I decided to give the new Logs Ingestion API a try. I basically followed the Tutorial: Send data to Azure Monitor Logs using REST API (Resource Manager templates) public documentation which is pretty exhausti…
