explanation for non-techies**

Microsoft Viva has introduced new analytics experiences that are designed to enhance the Viva Engage Events. To understand these changes, let's use a simple analogy. Imagine you are hosting a series of seminars or workshops. In the past, you might have had a sign-in sheet to track attendance and maybe a suggestion box for feedback. This method gives you some basic information about who attended and what they thought.

Now, think of the new analytics in Viva Engage Events as a sophisticated tool that not only tracks attendance but also provides insights into participant engagement during the event. It's like having a digital assistant that not only counts how many people are in the room but also tells you how actively they participated, what parts of the event they found most interesting, and even how they interacted with each other.

For managers, HR staff, or lawyers, this means you can better understand the impact of your events. You can see which topics resonated most with your audience, allowing you to tailor future events to meet their interests and needs more effectively. It's like having a detailed report card for each event, showing you what worked well and what could be improved.

These analytics tools are available worldwide and can be accessed through the web, making them easily accessible for organizations using Microsoft Viva. This development is part of a broader effort to provide more comprehensive data and insights, helping organizations make informed decisions based on real-time feedback and engagement metrics.

In summary, the new analytics experiences in Microsoft Viva Engage Events are like upgrading from a simple attendance sheet to a full-fledged event analysis tool, offering deeper insights and helping you create more engaging and effective events.
