Engage Colleague Communities
Email and intranet posts fade. Engage connects every colleague to your vision, values and each other, pairing social-grade usability with enterprise security and analytics. Appi AI learns from behaviour to personalise content, automate nudges and surface what matters across the lifecycle.
Higher retention
Turn strategy into clear, repeatable narratives. Appi AI ghostwrites, auto-translates and suggests the best time to send—so leaders communicate with confidence, not guesswork.
Build belonging
Social-style feeds, groups and DMs; peer recognition and kudos tied to your values; events and community programmes to connect locations and brands.
Reach the hard-to-reach
Mobile-first app with push, SMS and email fallbacks, plus digital signage for non-desk areas. Target by site, role, union group, business unit—even shift pattern.
Measure, learn, iterate
Appi AI turns behaviour into insight—what’s resonating, who’s at risk, where managers need support—and triggers nudges and journeys that keep change moving.
A single hub for every colleague relationship
Engage brings all colleagues into one shared, mobile-first experience. Everyone gets the same clarity, voice, and sense of belonging, without forcing them into tools that were never built for how they work.
Traditional Engagement Is Broken
Low adoption,
high admin
Email blasts, static intranets, and generic portals don’t drive participation. You waste hours chasing updates, managing lists, and duplicating content.
No visibility,
no insight
You can’t measure who’s engaged or why. Feedback is scattered, & success is based on gut feeling, not data.
Hard to
prove ROI
You invest in tools and campaigns — but can’t tie engagement to retention, satisfaction, or revenue.

How Engage Helped itsu Reach Its Deskless Workforce
"The ability to segment communication has been a complete game-changer. Everyone sees information that’s genuinely relevant to them, making updates feel more personalised and far more effective."
Challenge
With only around 110 of its 1,300 employees working at desks, its internal comms team needed a better way to reach everyone else.
Solution
Working with Engage, itsu launched its’us, a mobile-first app designed to reflect itsu’s brand, values and vibrant culture.

National Care Group: Transforming Engagement with Engage
“Engage has transformed how we reach our frontline teams. Being able to communicate in real time has played a huge role in reducing turnover from 41% to under 24%.”
Challenge
NCG faced significant challenges in communication and colleague retention. An annual turnover rate of 31.5% created instability within the workforce, making it difficult to provide consistent, high-quality care.
Solution
Engage brought all communication into one accessible platform, giving colleagues a central place to receive updates, view policies, and share feedback instantly. By connecting teams across hundreds of locations, the app has created a more inclusive, efficient and responsive way of working.

TrustFord: Revolutionising employee engagement with Engage
“After nine years with Engage, it remains one of the best decisions we’ve made. It has modernised our communication, strengthened engagement, and ensured every colleague feels informed and connected.”
Challenge
Before implementing Engage, 50% of TrustFord’s employees lacked access to direct digital communication, relying instead on outdated methods such as newsletters pinned on noticeboards.
Solution
Working with Engage, TrustFord introduced a mobile-first platform that instantly connects all 3,000 colleagues across 68 locations. The app replaced outdated noticeboard communications with a single, accessible space where employees can receive updates, view policies, access HR processes and engage directly with leadership.

Frequently asked questions
Do we need to use both colleague and customer communities?
No. You can either opt to run colleague and customer communities in one branded app with strict audience controls, or start with one and add the other later.
How does Engage help improve our culture and colleague engagement?
Engage brings communications, community-building, recognition, and personalised journeys into one branded experience. By reaching everyone, giving colleagues a voice, and celebrating contributions, organisations see stronger connection, higher morale, and improved retention.
Can Engage integrate with our existing HR and workplace systems?
Absolutely. Engage acts as a digital front door with single sign-on, automated user provisioning, and deep integrations (HR, payroll, learning, documents and more). This centralises access, streamlines workflows, and improves adoption of all your tools.
How do we measure colleague engagement and improve performance?
Engage provides real-time analytics on reach, adoption, sentiment, and operational activity, helping you understand what’s working and where attention is needed. Combined with surveys, forms, and feedback tools, organisations gain a clear picture of colleague experience and can continuously optimise communication, training, and workflows.
Is Engage suitable for companies of our size?
Engage is highly scalable and has four packages to suit organisations of any size, from small businesses to large enterprises. Whether you have a local team or a global workforce, Engage can adapt to your needs and help you achieve your engagement goals.
What security and compliance standards does Engage meet?
Engage is built with enterprise-grade security, including ISO 27001 certification, GDPR compliance, and robust permissioning. Organisations can confidently unify systems and data while maintaining strong governance.
