1000’s of education employees have a voice with Hive

Shaping the future of education with a fresh, agile approach to employee listening

The education sector is facing a major shift: what people want from work has changed and that’s brought challenges with culture, wellbeing, retention, flexible working and more. 

Creating a powerful employee voice strategy is key to creating an employee experience that people stick around for

Annual surveys aren’t enough; Hive can help you keep your finger on the pulse and know exactly what will help you attract, retain and engage your people.
