Acquisition will enable WorkBuzz to expand its global reach in the not-for-profit sector.
Milton Keynes-based WorkBuzz, the leading employee engagement specialist for companies with deskless and frontline workers, today announces its acquisition of Agenda Consulting (Agenda), an Oxford-based research consultancy focused on increasing engagement within Global not-for-profit (NFP) organisations. This marks a significant milestone for WorkBuzz as it expands its reach in the NFP and charity sector, creating a merged organisation that provides unparalleled expertise and technologies to boost employee and volunteer engagement.
With over 20 years’ experience elevating engagement levels within global NFPs, including Plan International and WaterAid, Agenda brings a deep sector knowledge to WorkBuzz. Its extensive global benchmarking data also enhances WorkBuzz’s employee listening services for HR leaders with deskless, hybrid, and remote workers.
Agenda customers will benefit from a broader offering, including access to WorkBuzz’s mobile-optimised and multilingual survey platform, the support of a specialised team of people scientists, and a client lifecycle service providing pre, during and post survey expertise.
“In Agenda, we’ve found a partner that intimately understands the NFP space”, says Steven Frost, CEO and Founder of WorkBuzz. “Our collective knowledge and advanced survey technologies put us in a market-leading position within the not-for-profit and charity space, and we look forward to helping organisations worldwide to elevate their employee and volunteer experiences, including those of their deskless workers.” Roger Parry, Director of Agenda Consulting says: “Joining forces with WorkBuzz takes our engagement services for NFP organisations to the next level. Using WorkBuzz’s listening platform, our clients have access to unlimited engagement surveys and a range of tools that deliver data-driven insights, bolstering cultures and transforming engagement levels.”
Agenda will continue to operate as a distinct brand while enjoying the wider benefits of being part of the U.K’s fastest-growing employee engagement specialist.
