Who we are and what we do

Hive is an employee voice platform and strategic HR partnership.

…what exactly does that mean?

We’re a B2B SaaS (Software as a Service) business that provides our customers’ employees with a secure channel to speak up—whether that’s through surveys, or one of our other unique employee voice features.

On top of that, our People Scientists also work closely with our customers’ HR teams to:

Create bespoke employee voice strategies
Gather as much varied and meaningful employee feedback as possible
Analyse and report on what those employees have to say
Take action off the back of the findings.

Culture and values

Our people are the most important part of the business, and they embody our five core values:

Purpose is our passion

Everything we do is driven by our purpose: every voice has the power to change the working world.

Even better

We’re not perfect, but we’re always striving to reach higher, achieve more and push further.

Trusted to get **it done

Our customers trust us to provide a certain level of service, and we trust each other to fulfil our own individual responsibilities.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

No matter who we’re dealing with we’re always respectful and considerate; good manners cost nothing.

Life is short

The time we have is precious, so we cherish it and live every moment—both inside and outside of work.
