About
At Speakap, our story didn't begin in a garage or with a sudden flash of genius, as many tech clichés go. Instead, it started in a real-world setting: a grocery store. It was there, amidst the daily hustle, that our founders experienced firsthand the communication gap that plagues so many organizations, especially those with a large frontline workforce. They saw how disconnected employees were, relying on outdated methods like newsletters and bulletin boards, which led to inefficiencies and a lack of engagement. We knew there had to be a better way to connect every single employee, from the head office to the frontline, and ensure they all felt valued, informed, and part of a unified team. This belief was the spark that ignited Speakap in 2011. We set out on a mission to create a platform that wasn't just another tool, but a true digital workplace that mirrors the way people communicate in their personal lives—intuitive, mobile-first, and social. We've come a long way since those early days. We evolved from a simple communication tool into a comprehensive employee experience platform. We believe that when employees feel supported and heard, work transforms from a source of exhaustion into a source of energy. That's why we've built a solution that addresses the entire employee journey. We provide everything from seamless onboarding and clear, instant communication to simplified scheduling, actionable analytics, and integrated training. Our platform is designed to consolidate an organization's entire tech stack into one simple, powerful, and branded application. We're proud to help over 600 of the world's most trusted brands in retail, hospitality, manufacturing, and more to bridge the gap between their headquarters and their frontline teams. We're passionate about empowering the 80% of the global workforce who are not behind a desk, ensuring they are no longer left behind by technological revolutions. Our goal is to make the corporate world a place where people and organizations truly work as one, fostering engagement, boosting productivity, and creating a stellar employee experience for everyone.
