A readable engagement summary for managers instead of a dense scorecard nobody has time to parse.

Workflow Overview

Viva Glint
Copilot

Step 1: Open the standard Glint report for your teamVgViva Glint

Navigate to your team's results dashboard and open the Copilot Highlights panel directly inside it — this reads the existing report in place, so skip any instinct to export the scores to Excel first.

Step 2: Generate the AI summaryCopilotVgViva Glint

Select your actual direct-report team in the report filter before asking for the summary, not the org-wide or department rollup — a summary generated at too high a level averages away the specific strength or dip that would have told you something actionable about your own team.

Prompt idea:

Summarize this team's engagement results: top 3 strengths, top 3 opportunities, the biggest score changes since last cycle, and how we compare to the department benchmark.

Step 3: Translate strengths and opportunities into one actionVgViva Glint

Pick the single opportunity with both the lowest score and the most direct manager influence — trying to act on everything means acting on nothing.

Step 4: Share back with the teamVgViva Glint

Engagement summaries land better when the team sees the same data their manager is acting on, not just the resulting action plan.

Check the work

  • Confirm the score changes cited match the actual prior-cycle numbers, not a rounded approximation.
  • Check that the benchmark group being compared against is the right one for your team.
  • Make sure low-response-rate teams aren't having noisy scores presented as confident findings.

Expected Outcome

A written summary of survey strengths, opportunities, score changes and benchmark comparisons for a team or org.

AI is the right call here

Opening the report (step 1) and sharing back (step 4) are logistics. Turning dozens of scored and open-text items into strengths, opportunities, and a benchmark comparison is synthesis work, not a lookup.
