Workvivo HQ is one digital headquarters for every employee. One place where people show up, communication happens, and knowledge lives, with AI that makes everything easier to find, act on, and understand.
Persistent Top Navigation is a new and optional navigation option introduced with Custom Landing Pages in Workvivo HQ. It transforms Workvivo’s existing mega menu, into a visible, horizontal navigation bar at the top of the screen - creating a smoother, more intuitive experience across your organization.
This enhancement improves discoverability and provides a familiar intranet-style navigation experience for employees. It helps people move through Workvivo faster, find what they need with fewer clicks, and feel more at home in their digital workspace.
By surfacing key areas in a clear, accessible way, the Persistent Top Navigation helps employees stay focused and confident as they navigate - making the platform feel simpler, smarter, and more intuitive.
