The Engage Way:
Culture & Engagement That Sticks
Culture does not change in a town hall. It changes in everyday moments. Engage brings leadership messages, peer stories, recognition, and group wide updates into one trusted app so colleagues can see, share, and act on what matters. Appi AI makes sure the right story reaches the right people at the right time, whether they sit at head office or on the forecourt.
Align the story across brands and sites
Turn strategy and values into clear, repeatable narratives. Appi AI supports ghostwriting, translation, and timing so leaders communicate with confidence.
Reach every colleague in your group
Use mobile, push, SMS, email and digital signage to reach colleagues across business units, locations, and shift patterns in one go.
Build belonging through community
Create social style feeds, interest groups, and peer recognition that give colleagues a voice and make group culture feel local and real.
Measure engagement and keep change moving
Appi AI turns behaviour and sentiment into insight so you can see what is resonating, where there is risk, and where managers need help.

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.

HR Director at TrustFord
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 cultural engagement and impact?
Engage includes real-time analytics on reach, sentiment, participation, and content performance. Surveys, polls, and feedback tools provide actionable insights so organisations can track cultural health and make data-driven improvements.
