Many people are not comfortable with Yammer as using social media-like tools have been discouraged during work. What do you recommend to get people comfortable trying Viva Engage and posting?

Getting people comfortable with using enterprise social media is certainly tricky. However, there are a few ways that I recommend that you do this: 1. Establishing clear company guidelines on how Viva Engage would be used in the workplace. 2. Promoting a positive culture where employees feel comfortable and safe to express themselves and can help encourage participation. 3. Encourage employees to start small with clear distinct topics - updates, news, ideas etc. This would help them build confidence and gradually increase their comfort level with the platform. - jamestyerFeb 23, 2023

I would recommend taking a look through our adoption materials here: https://adoption.microsoft.com/en-us/yammer/#use-cases-and-scenarios and here: https://adoption.microsoft.com/en-us/viva/engage/ In particular, you might want to watch some of our customer best practice sessions, many of which touch on this: https://adoption.microsoft.com/en-us/yammer/best-practice-brainstorms/ It all depends on having a clear purpose for using Viva Engage - why do you want people to post, to connect etc. The outcomes are powerful: strong engagement with leaders, increased retention, silo-crossing, learning, powerful new ideas and many more.- DeanSwannFeb 23, 2023Copper ContributorYammer, now Viva Engage is for work, especially networking. As one of my good friends says: Viva Engage is the one place you can ask your entire company a question. Agree with James above, there are great resources for Viva Engage. Leader engagement is critical.
