The Solution
BK Hub
BK Hub, powered by Oak Engage is an innovative platform that was tailored to meet the unique needs of Burger King UK providing a range functionalities including content sharing, recognition, social timeline, advanced search and a document library. The branded mobile app, which has been designed to cater to the needs of the predominantly offline workforce, provides a seamless user experience.
Nick said: “Aside from the excellent service we have received throughout the entire process, the platform is highly versatile, has received many enhancements in recent years and continues to develop. We want to deliver the very best to our people and this gave us confidence when choosing Oak. As a platform and service, they continue to improve to meet the needs of their clients in order to create the best experience possible for end users.”
Saving valuable time and effort
One of the most significant benefits of BK Hub is its ability to save time and effort for both employees and management.
Nick added: “Oak Engage’s solution has drastically reduced the time our managers spend on administrative tasks, allowing them to dedicate more time to leading their teams and focusing on our core mission of providing exceptional service to our customers.”
BK Hub has given staff one place to easily access everything they need. The ease and user-friendliness of the Oak platform is evident with 5,000+ searches since launching in March.
Nick said: “Oak’s advanced search functionality is hugely effective and will allow users to find the content and support they need quickly and easily within the system, saving time and reducing frustration.”
Translation on demand
Understanding the diverse needs of its workforce, BK Hub incorporates a translation feature that supports over 127 languages. This functionality ensures that all employees, regardless of their language, have access to important information and can fully participate in the company culture.
Nick said: “Translations is just one of the features that will give our employees a voice and ensure our communications are truly accessible and inclusive. This will allow for seamless communication and collaboration across the organisation.”
Cutting through the noise
A critical part of BK Hub is its ability to deliver relevant information to employees without overwhelming them. Oak has allowed Burger King UK to deliver targeted and relevant content to their staff to reduce noise and increase engagement.
Nick said: “The platform’s intelligent delivery mechanism ensures that our employees only receive the information that they need, effectively cutting through the noise and enhancing the overall engagement and communication within the company.”
Social and mobile friendly
Employees can access BK Hub from anywhere, at any time. This accessibility is crucial for Burger King UK. Oak Engage’s social features also allows staff to share their own content updates on a social timeline to foster an inclusive environment. It also allows employees to celebrate and recognise each other’s achievements.
Nick comments: “Oak Engage has given us a mobile friendly app that allows our people to share all of the great things they do within our restaurants, day-in, day-out. It also allows them to share best practices and fun updates for others to enjoy and be inspired by.”
“The mobile app’s sleek design and ease of use have made it an invaluable tool for our team members, enabling them to stay connected and informed, regardless of where they are.”
An app that employees love
Whilst it’s still early days, there has already been overwhelmingly positive feedback on the platform.
Nick adds: “Oak has not only improved employee engagement and general communication across the business, but it has helped to improve operational efficiency and saved our managers time on their admin, so they can spend more time with their teams. It has also allowed us to create a closer relationship between our Head Office and individual restaurants.”
