Get ready for Viva Engage

We're busy working behind the scenes to get Viva Engage ready for you. Expect to receive a few email notifications as we prepare to welcome you to Viva Engage.

What should I expect next week?

On Tuesday 3 June you'll receive an email inviting you to join Viva Engage. Accessing Viva Engage is simple - just click the icon in your Teams interface to launch it.

From here you'll be able to explore our official communities including:

  • an all-staff community - all staff will automatically be added and are able to post.
  • an academic staff community - all academic and research staff will be automatically added. Professional staff may choose to opt-in.
  • a professional staff community - all professional staff will be automatically added. Academic staff may choose to opt-in.
  • a community for each campus - staff will be automatically added to their local campus community.

You'll also be able to opt-in to a range of special interest communities, based on your interests.

Do we really need Viva Engage?

Yes. Viva Engage is the only approved way for you to communicate with large cohorts of staff at ACU. Alongside the Staff Bulletin, it's the best way to share news, information, updates, achievements, initiatives and events. It's also a great way to request volunteers and to recognise and acknowledge your peers for their efforts. We are embracing a broader audience structure with Viva Engage to break down silos, streamline messaging and make finding and posting information easier for you.

Managing notifications

We know constant email notifications can be a pain. Bear with us over the next week as we take care of some housekeeping. From 3 June, you will be able to set your notifications to either receive a daily digest, a weekly digest or no notifications at all.

Do I need to set up my own community?

No. We will set up all the official and special interest communities that have been requested. If you have a new community you want to set up, and have not yet been in touch, please contact us for advice.

How will new starters know about Viva Engage?

We'll be sending all new starters an email to let them know about Viva Engage and how to use it.
