Company mission
To give everyone the tools, support and confidence to improve their life at work.
70% female employees
Our take
The rise of global corporations and the expansion of the gig economy in recent years has put the spotlight on employee rights – particularly as the proportion of UK workers who are members of a trade union continues to decrease. Organise is an early stage startup helping employees in the UK to action changes in their workplace. Through Organise, anyone start their own anonymous campaign and leverage surveys, petitions, crowdfunding and direct outreach to influence the companies they work for and encourage them to change their employment practices.
The company aims to combine the power of collective action, traditionally harnessed by trade unions, with the reach and insight of modern digital campaigns. The platform is seen as complementary to union activities and many of its members are union members too.
To date, Organise has enabled workers to mount successful campaigns against unjust working practices at companies including McDonald’s, Ted Baker, Amazon, Uber and Deliveroo. There are now over a million people in the Organise network – which is currently centred on the UK – although the company is looking to expand to the US, following a successful seed raise.
