Zoe Wilson MVP, Kevin McDonnell MVP, Sara Fennah MVP, Chirag Patel MVP, MCT, Lesley Crook MVP
Join the Viva Explorers – a bunch of intrepid MVPs and community members with a passion for improving your employee experience, and love for silly props! This will be a lively and spirited discussion of all things Microsoft Viva – we’ll share our favourite features as well as the features that we’d love to appear on the roadmap.
We’ll share the business benefits of Viva, each bringing the benefit of our own experience of implementing across different types of organisations, and we’ll share the impact that we’ve seen. We may also venture into the murky waters of licensing, with a look at the seeded vs premium features and lastly – the Viva Explorers will answer questions from the audience! This is not to be missed.

Benefits of Attending this Session:

• Enjoy a fun and spirited discussion about employee experience
• Tailor governance policies based on business needs
• Automate governance enforcement

Throughout the week I will also be involved with ESPC Community Reporters 2022 team so hope to catch you!
The role of the Community Reporter is to capture the pulse of the event, conducting interviews with the speakers, attendees, and vendors throughout the week, and helping to promote key messages for both those in attendance and those who are unable to attend in-person.
