Hive HR

Hive is an employee voice and engagement platform based in Newcastle, combining confidential surveys with professional services support to help organisations act on feedback rather than just collect it.

The toolkit includes Hive Surveying for baseline, pulse, themed and targeted surveys, Open Door for capturing ongoing trending feedback, Hive Fives for peer-to-peer recognition, Messenger for confidential two-way conversations with staff, and Actions for prioritising, allocating and tracking the changes that come out of feedback. A Professional Services team offers coaching and consultancy alongside the platform, helping leaders interpret results and build a plan around them rather than leaving analysis to HR alone.

Hive works across sectors including housing associations, healthcare, education, the public sector, emergency services and retail, and is used by organisations such as Travelodge, Sheffield Hallam University and Northumbria Police, according to case studies on the company's site.

The platform holds Cyber Essentials Plus and ISO 27001 certification. It is typically adopted as an ongoing subscription combining the survey platform with a chosen level of professional services support, rather than a one-off survey tool.
