WorkBuzz, a leading employee listening technology firm dedicated to transforming employee feedback into actionable insights, has announced its acquisition of Hive, a well-established employee engagement platform servicing commercial, public sector, and not-for-profit organizations in the UK.
This merger aligns two trusted teams who share a fundamental belief: when employees are heard, organizations become better workplaces, resulting in improved performance.
As part of the acquisition, Hive customers can expect continuity of service along with enhanced offerings from WorkBuzz. The integration is designed to provide customers access to a broader range of expertise and innovative resources, enabling them to effectively engage with their workforce and make more informed decisions.
The expanded capabilities will soon include WorkBuzz’s AI-powered features such as ‘Perspectives’ and ‘People Science AI,’ as well as the recently launched ‘Dialogue,’ which allows organizations to turn frontline feedback into actionable insights in real-time.
“This acquisition moves us closer to our ambition of empowering 10 million employees to share their voice by 2030,” said Steven Frost, CEO of WorkBuzz. He added, “Hive has built something we genuinely admire – strong customer relationships, deep employee listening expertise, and a team that shares our belief that every employee deserves to be heard.”
John Ryder, CEO of Hive, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “WorkBuzz is the right partner for Hive, our team, and our customers. We’re closely aligned in what we believe and in the kind of relationships we want to build with customers.” He emphasized that this collaboration will allow Hive to enhance what they have developed and offer even more avenues for customers to engage with their employees effectively.
Customers of Hive will continue to receive uninterrupted support, and any integration details will be thoughtfully planned and communicated in advance to ensure a smooth transition.
