Engage for HR
Build a workplace where every colleague feels connected, supported and able to thrive
Richard Hogg,
Group CEO, Ardonagh Group
“Engage gave us a single front door to the business. Whether someone’s in an office, on the road, or in a branch, they feel equally connected — and we can prove it.”
The problem HR teams face
HR wants to build a workplace people enjoy, trust and stay with. But most tools are designed for desk workers, not for a workforce spread across stores, branches, sites and shifts.
Disconnected communication
Many colleagues do not have email or easy access to systems. Critical updates get missed.
Inconsistent onboarding and learning
New starters often receive fragmented training. Skills and safety knowledge vary across teams.
Low recognition and belonging
Values do not scale. Good stories stay hidden. Culture feels uneven.
What you can achieve
with Engage
Higher retention
Colleagues feel informed, recognised and part of the organisation.
Faster onboarding
Clear learning pathways and instant access to essentials.
Stronger culture
Values, stories and recognition now live where people spend their time.
Anna-Maria Tsili
Head of HR & Talent at itsu
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.
Chris Boyle
Head of AfterAthena and Employment at Napthens
North West based law firm Napthens launches community app with Engage
“Engage strengthens our relationships and positions us as trusted advisers. By keeping clients informed with the latest legal updates and documents, we’ve achieved a retention rate of around 96%.”
Challenge
AfterAthena needed to move beyond traditional, transactional communication. Clients lacked a single place to access documents or updates, and email processes slowed everything down. They wanted a modern way to build a stronger client community and improve access to essential information.
Solution
AfterAthena launched a single platform that brings their client community together. Clients can access documents, updates and guidance in one place, with integrated systems and real-time messaging making communication smoother and more connected.

Frequently asked questions
How does Engage help streamline HR communication and processes?
Engage centralises HR updates, policies, documents, and tasks into one mobile-first hub. Push notifications and targeted messaging ensure colleagues receive the right information at the right time, reducing email overload and improving clarity across the workforce.
Can Engage support onboarding, development, and other HR lifecycle stages?
Yes. Engage enables personalised journeys for onboarding, training, development, and internal movement. Automated timelines, mandatory reads, and role-based content help HR deliver a consistent, organised experience from day one through to progression or offboarding.
How does Engage improve colleague self-service?
Engage connects directly to your HR systems — such as payroll, absence, learning, and document management — so colleagues can access payslips, book leave, complete training, and submit forms without switching between multiple tools. This reduces HR admin and improves adoption of your existing systems.
Can Engage integrate with our current HR technology stack?
Absolutely. Engage acts as a digital front door, integrating with HRIS, LMS, payroll platforms, people systems, and case management tools via API, SSO, and automated user provisioning. This ensures seamless data flow and reduces duplication.
How does Engage help HR measure engagement and wellbeing?
Real-time analytics show reach, participation, sentiment, and content performance. Tools like surveys, polls, and feedback forms give HR teams direct insight into colleague needs, enabling faster, evidence-led improvements to culture, wellbeing, and internal programmes.
What security and compliance standards does Engage meet for HR data?
Engage is built with enterprise-grade security including ISO 27001 certification, GDPR compliance, encrypted data flows, and strict permissioning controls. Sensitive HR documents, personal information, and workflows remain fully protected and compliant.
