Microsoft Viva: Focus Area simplification and enhancements

Why it matters: Breaking change — admin action may be required

What to do: Draft/deleted Focus Areas will no longer be included in Focus Area calculations.

Beginning with this feature release, Focus Areas will be associated with survey cycles and goal periods will be retired. Users will be able to select the same Focus Area across multiple cycles. The Focus Area Overview report will be filterable to groups of interest (e.g. managers only). Draft/deleted Focus Areas will no longer be included in Focus Area calculations.
