summary for non-techies**

Microsoft Viva Engage will introduce a feature in late September 2024 that allows users to subscribe to notifications for topics they follow, with notifications appearing on the bell icon for new posts or updates related to those topics.

Direct effects for Operations**

Increased Notification Volume
Users may experience an overwhelming number of notifications due to the automatic subscription feature, leading to notification fatigue and potential missed important updates.
