From Broadcast to Belonging: The Practical Playbook for Sustaining Viva Engage
Ft. Scottish Funding Council - IOIC Awards 2026 ‘Best Community Management’ Winners 🏆
Many organisations don’t have a Viva Engage problem; they have a communication model problem. With multiple platforms competing for attention, employees need clarity on where conversations happen and why.
Join us on Tuesday 3rd November to hear how SFC moved from a broadcast-style approach to a more connected employee experience, repositioning Viva Engage as a space for open dialogue, visible leadership and employee communities.
Is this session for you?
This session is for anyone working in Internal Communications, Employee Experience, Digital Workplace, Change or Transformation who wants to:
- Increase Viva Engage adoption and engagement
- Improve leadership visibility and two-way communication
- Create clearer communication channels and governance
- Build communities that support connection and collaboration
- Get more value from your Microsoft 365 investment
Key Takeaways:
- Position Viva Engage with purpose by defining its role within your wider communication ecosystem.
- Reduce channel confusion using a clear "what goes where" framework across Teams, SharePoint, email and Viva Engage.
- Drive sustainable leadership engagement with practical, repeatable approaches that build confidence and participation.
- Create communities people actually use by designing around employee needs, interests and behaviours.
Learn From a Real-World Example
Scottish Funding Council has taken Viva Engage beyond simply broadcasting information, embedding it into everyday ways of working to create more opportunities for conversation, connection and belonging.
Hear the lessons, challenges and practical approaches behind that shift and take away ideas you can apply in your own organisation. This isn’t a product demo. It’s a practical playbook for making Viva Engage work in the real world.
