Employee Notification App
Send critical updates and track if they've been actioned
Whether it’s a health and safety announcement, ingredient changes or product updates, you can't afford to let important information get lost in the noise. Push notifications mean you can instantly notify employees by sending an update, while mandatory reads track exactly who has read them, giving you the tools to chase compliance gaps automatically.
Why you need push notifications and mandatory reads
Reach every employee, anywhere with a single notification
Oak’s employee notification app pushes notifications and mandatory reads to instantly broadcast updates to the entire company or specific employees, depending on the message.
Cut through the noise
Stop burying information under mountains of content. By targeting notifications to specific departments, roles, or locations, employees only receive the crucial information that matters to them.
Remain compliant, with zero guesswork
With mandatory reads, you get real-time tracking dashboards that show exactly who has acknowledged an update. If someone falls behind, the system automatically nudges them or alerts their manager so you don't have to.
How to use push notifications and mandatory reads
Bridging the gap between HQ and the frontline
Targeted location broadcasts
Send tailored alerts to specific locations. Update kitchen staff on allergens or the warehouse team on safety protocols without alerting the rest of the business.
Instant mobile alerts
Deliver urgent updates directly to lock screens via the employee notification app. Deskless and remote workers stay just as informed as the team at HQ.
Track read receipts and confirmations
There's no point sending criticial comms, if you can't understand who has and hasn't read them. With mandatory reads employees read the update and tap to confirm, logging their compliance in seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can an employee notification app target specific teams, or do notifications go to everyone?
Yes. Oak’s employee notification app gives you full control over who receives each update. Send company-wide notifications for major announcements, or target specific teams, departments, locations or roles using your synced HR directory.
How do employees acknowledge a mandatory read in the employee notification app?
Employees can confirm they have read an important update with a clear acknowledgement button, such as “I have read and understood this update.” Once confirmed, the response is recorded in your admin dashboard.
What happens if an employee ignores a mandatory notification?
Oak follows up automatically. The employee notification app can send gentle reminder notifications to people who have not responded, helping you improve read rates without manually chasing employees.
Will an employee notification app overwhelm our teams with too many alerts?
No. A good employee notification app should reduce noise, not add to it. Oak lets you target alerts to the right people, avoid unnecessary company-wide messages and reserve push notifications for updates that need attention.
