What Viva Engage does
Viva Engage provides a space for employees to connect, share information, and build communities. It facilitates conversations through posts, threads, and direct messaging. Key features include ‘stories’ for quick updates, a ‘knowledge network’ for finding expertise, and the ability for leadership to engage directly with employees. Integration with Microsoft Teams allows for easy access and collaboration, bringing Viva Engage conversations into familiar workflows.
Viva Engage in Australian tenants today
Many AU mid-market organisations initially adopted Yammer with enthusiasm, but often found adoption stalled due to lack of clear purpose or leadership buy-in. Viva Engage represents an evolution, now tightly integrated within the broader Viva suite alongside modules like Learning and Insights. For some organisations, Teams Channels provide a more readily adopted and managed alternative for informal community building, particularly where existing Teams usage is high. Consider your organisation’s existing communication habits and governance before committing to Viva Engage.
