Employee Notification App
Notify employees quickly, and track who has read important updates
Whether it’s a health and safety announcement, ingredient changes, a new policy, 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 to their desktop or mobile app, while mandatory reads track exactly who has read and understood them, giving you the tools to chase compliance gaps automatically.
Key benefits
Reach every employee, anywhere with a single notification
No need to worry about chaotic email threads, missed memos, or chasing employees in person. Use Oak’s employee notification app to push 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 your team under mountains of irrelevant emails. By targeting notifications to specific departments, roles, or locations, employees only receive the crucial information that matters to them.
Remain compliant, with zero guesswork
Protect your business, reduce operational risk and reduce burden on managers. 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.

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.
