During a virtual event on the 4th of February 2021, “Reimagining the Employee Experience”, Microsoft’s CEO Satya Nadella announced that Microsoft brings together collaboration, learning and wellbeing in order to create a new product category: Employee Experience Platform (“EXP”).

EXP is the platform for Microsoft Partners and customer organisations to deliver the future of work underpinned by the power of Microsoft 365.
