The Engage Way: A Better Home After Workplace
Workplace made connection familiar, but it was not built for lifecycle communication, policy management, learning, or structured updates. With the platform ending, organisations need more than a like for like feed. Engage gives you a complete employee app and web hub with governance, targeting, and AI supported communication.
Keep the familiar social experience
Feeds, groups, chat, and recognition keep the experience intuitive for every colleague.
Gain enterprise structure and control
Target updates by role, site, shift, or business unit with secure governance for HR, IT, and internal comms teams.
Reach frontline and deskless teams
Mobile first access supported by push, SMS, and email ensures every colleague stays informed without relying on inboxes.
Improve timing and insight with Appi AI
Appi selects the best moment and channel for communication and highlights sentiment, adoption, and risk patterns.

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 support our transition away from Workplace?
Engage provides a secure, branded alternative that recreates the value of Workplace — groups, messaging, recognition, content feeds, and collaboration — while adding deeper functionality like personalisation, workflows, journeys, and system integrations. Your teams keep the features they rely on while gaining a more connected experience across communication, learning, and support.
Can Engage migrate content, groups, and users from Workplace?
Yes. Engage supports structured migration, including user onboarding, group recreation, content mapping, and communication plans to ensure a smooth switch. Automated user provisioning and SSO reduce friction, helping colleagues access the new platform instantly without disrupting day-to-day work.
How does Engage ensure colleagues stay connected after Workplace is retired?
Engage centralises communication, updates, group collaboration, recognition, and support in one mobile-first hub. Push notifications, structured Spaces, and targeted messaging ensure teams stay connected regardless of location or device. Unlike Workplace, Engage is purpose-built for internal engagement and can evolve with your organisation’s future needs.
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.
