Go Social Intranet and Communities FAQs What is Oak's Social Intranet platform? Oak is a purpose-built enterprise Social Intranet that combines internal communication, social connectivity and employee engagement into one platform. It is designed to replace outdated, static intranets with a dynamic mobile-first solution that reaches every employee across the organisation. Can I personalise content for different employee groups in an Oak Social Intranet? Yes. Oak allows you to target content based on role, location, department, or even specific interests. This ensures that a frontline worker in a specific region only sees the updates relevant to them, preventing information overload and keeping engagement high. How does a Social Intranet break down communication siloes? Oak’s Social Intranet makes it easy for employees to find information and connect with colleagues outside of their immediate team.
