summary for non-techies**
Microsoft Viva's Engage events now allow participants to post comments anonymously, enhancing open discussions by enabling users to share ideas without revealing their identity, and this feature is accessible across Android, iOS, Mac, and web platforms.
Direct effects for Operations**
User Engagement
The introduction of anonymous comments may lead to an increase in user engagement during events, but without proper preparation, it could also result in inappropriate or harmful comments that could disrupt the event and negatively impact the user experience.

Compliance and Moderation
Enabling anonymous comments without a moderation strategy could lead to compliance issues, as harmful or non-compliant comments may go unchecked, potentially exposing the organization to reputational risks.
