Newsroom Oak Engage transforms how Miller Homes communicate with their employees Last updated: June 2, 2021 Calculating… Intranet pioneers and growing tech firm, Oak Engage have been chosen by Miller Homes to engage their workforce and improve company-wide communication. The Newcastle-based company delivers a modern all-in-one workplace solution with all of the tools businesses need to bring their employees together and facilitate a more united and aligned workforce. Offering a seamless blend of functionalities, businesses gain all the benefits of having a more productive workforce whilst also catering to the wellbeing and engagement of their people. With a large workforce and many deskless employees, Miller Homes needed a solution that would enable them to communicate with their people more efficiently. Oak Engage provides an employee engagement platform which now allows Miller Homes to easily broadcast company updates and connect employees together across every part of the business, regardless of their role or location. The intranet also ensures all of their employees have access to key information wherever they are, on both desktop and mobile app devices. By using Oak’s easy to use content system, Miller Homes have been able to create dedicated pages to health and wellbeing and charity fundraisers to encourage employees to collaborate together socially. They also utilise various functionalities to communicate important news and updates with employees such as News Articles, Push Notifications and Must Reads, ideal for distributing important messages and notifications to those that need to see them most. Ben Graham, Head of Application Development at Miller Homes said: “Oak is a great partner and a pleasure to work with. They’re extremely accommodating, kind and always go the extra mile to help customers achieve their goals. Combined with their great products, it makes working with them a joy.” Mark Rooks, Chief Technology Officer at Oak Engage said: “Miller Homes have seen engagement rates skyrocket to 97% since implementing their intranet and this is a credit to the simplicity of our product, meaning users can find the key tools they need to do their job instantly.” “Oak Engage can be accessed from anywhere and has enabled Miller Homes to empower every member of the workforce to join the conversation and have their voice heard, improving morale, productivity, collaboration and engagement over different offices, departments and teams.” “Prioritising two-way communication between employees and businesses and connecting an entire workforce is of critical importance during the pandemic and thanks to our intuitive suite of digital tools and expert support, Miller Homes were able to achieve this with ease.” Oak Engage helps businesses connect with their people and as well as Miller Homes, works with some of the biggest brands in the world, including Aldi, Five Guys, Halfords and ITV.
