Dive Brief:
- HighGround, an employee engagement cloud solutions provider, says it has experienced exceptional revenue growth and dramatically increased its workforce in 2015.
- HighGround executives attribute the company’s rapid growth to the need to improve workplace cultures in today’s complex business environment, as well as to the changing expectations of employees for more real-time and mobile experiences.
- HighGround's new customers cut across several industries, which the company says reflects the growing demand for solutions that help companies provide real-time recognition and continuous feedback for their workforces.
Dive Insight:
New HighGround customers include Cision, which offers media intelligence; Intermedix, a provider of technology-enabled solutions for global health and safety; Patagonia, the clothing retailer; and Allianz, the large insurance company.
"...Businesses everywhere are rethinking how to manage and evaluate performance, and we have seen an increased demand from executives looking to better understand the health of their organizations,” said Vip Sandhir, founder and CEO at HighGround. “HighGround customers are on a transformative journey to break down what were arduous annual processes into more frequent and useful bite-sized discussions.”
If HighGround's recent success means anything, it indicates that HR leaders are still searching for ways to better engage employees in the wake of Gallup's most recent survey that says only about 30% of American employees feel "engaged" at work.
