Our take
Staffbase is the first AI-native employee experience platform and it's built to help companies keep their people connected - an employee app, intranet, email, SMS, digital signagfee, and Microsoft 365 integrations - all in one place. With more than 2,000 customers worldwide, including Adidas, Toyota, DHL, and Sephora, Staffbase is helping organisations build stronger, more aligned workplaces.
With teams spread across offices, countries, and time zones, companies need reliable ways to keep everyone informed and engaged. And Staffbase does just that, making communication simpler and more effective for every employee. Its tools, including an AI-powered Staffbase Companion assistant, give people the information they need quickly, so they can work more collaboratively with confidence.
A major leap forward for the company is Employee AI, Staffbase's new foundation for the next era of employee experience. Built on trusted data, governance, adn braod reach, it'sd esigned to make AI genuinely uselful for every employee. Features rolling out through 2025 and 2026 include a mobile-first AI assistant that helps employees complete tasks, hyper-personalised weekly podcasts, smarter content governance that keeps information up to date, and prompt-based tools that help teams create high-quality content faster.
With such strong momentum, industry recognition (like being named a leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for three years in a row), and a partnership with Microsoft's Azure OpenAI Service, Staffbase is very much ready for the future.
