The Challenge
Connecting a dispersed workforce
Without an intranet and with 1,500 employees dispersed globally, but headquartered in the USA, OEC faced the challenge of connecting and communicating with employees quickly and efficiently. They also experienced issues with employees not having access to the same documents at the same time, which was important to them in order to give everyone the same experience and the chance to engage with frontline workers not in their office.
Why OEC Chose Oak
Content Sharing and Management
Oak’s document manager ensured uploading documents and content to one centralised area a breeze, using a simple drag and drop tool. This means that all their employees, no matter where they’re based, have access to the same documents. With everyone working from the same song sheet there are no crossed wires and everyone is on the same page.
Reaching Employees Globally
By utilising push notifications within Oak Engage, OEC can instantly send company-wide updates to employees, a crucial part of any manufacturing intranet. Want to make sure all employees read a certain message? Mandatory reads mean the most critical updates and policy changes reach everyone immediately.
Shared Experience
Not only can employees easily connect with one another, but also to the head office where they receive news, updates, and other important information through location specific pages — an important improvement as now everyone can enjoy the same experience and engage with everyone, including remote workers.
