Adult social care provider National Care Group is partnering with Engage Solutions Group to roll out an employee engagement app.

National Care Group is rolling out the Engage app to 2,400 colleagues working across 150 sites in England and Wales.

National Care Group’s people director Claire Leake said: “The app presents us with the opportunity to create one digital world for National Care Group, removing the barriers that come with distance, the absence of corporate email for our frontline colleagues, and reliance on analogue processes.”  

She added: “For the first time, we can connect every single colleague not just to the National Care Group brand and to central support, but to each other too, regardless of location, creating a community experience and collaborative culture.” 

Employees can use the app to check the latest news and updates, book holiday, check their payslip, read and acknowledge new policies, tap into wellness resources, and “pre-board” as a new starter.

Users can create role-based groups for sharing best practice and provide recognition and support to other colleagues using in-app ‘Thank You’ cards that highlight National Care Group’s core values. Suggestions and feedback will form a continuous two-way dialogue between users and app managers.
