About Staffbase:

We're headquartered in Chemnitz, Germany, with offices in many locations throughout the world, including New York, London, Berlin and Dresden.

Our international team counts more than 750 employees from 45+ nationalities and we have a growing base of 2200+ customers that want to transform their employee experience.

We are rapidly scaling, post-Series E ($115 million funding), have strong-growing revenue, and our customers love us.

We believe that communication moves people, and people move companies.

Our leading Employee Communications Platform enables leaders to connect with audiences through a multitude of channels, ensuring they can reach people in an engaging way.

As the workforce changes and global uncertainty increases, companies are under extreme pressure to drive transformation and provide a clear vision and strategy to their workforces.

Providing such important information to an entire organization requires a cohesive narrative, and the ability to actually deliver that narrative to an audience that is composed of many different groups.

That means this need for narrative-driven communications is also dependent on technology that allows for reach and engagement while remaining connected and providing insights.

Our mission is to empower leaders and communicators to drive transformation through internal comms insights, strategies, and solutions. By fulfilling this mission, we fill the communication gap in the market.
