WorkL partners with Staffbase to celebrate Europe’s most engaged employers

WorkL, a global leader in employee engagement, is pleased to announce that Staffbase, the first AI-native employee experience platform, will be the official category sponsor of the Most Engaged Employees award across the UK, Sweden, Denmark, and Germany in this year’s World’s Happiest Workplaces Awards, powered by WorkL.

The World’s Happiest Workplaces awards are the world’s largest programme celebrating workplace happiness, as voted for by employees themselves. Now in its fifth year, the awards recognise organisations that excel in creating environments where people feel valued, empowered and fulfilled at work. Based on data from WorkL’s globally recognised Happy At Work Test, which measures employee engagement across six key steps, the awards highlight companies that prioritise wellbeing, purpose and positive culture. Winners are announced annually in January and featured on WorkL’s live global leaderboard, shining a spotlight on the organisations setting the standard for employee happiness across industries, countries and age groups.

Commenting on the news, Lord Mark Price, Founder of WorkL, said:

We are delighted to welcome Staffbase as sponsor of our Most Engaged Employees category across the UK, Sweden, Denmark and Germany. Their focus on employee communication and engagement makes them the perfect partner to celebrate organisations that are putting their people first and ensuring workplaces are happier, more connected and more successful.”

Staffbase is pioneering the future of employee communications as the first AI-native employee experience platform. The company connects organisations with their people through branded intranets, employee apps, email, SMS, digital signage and Microsoft 365 integrations, all built on a foundation designed for AI. With its recent unveiling of Employee AI – built on trusted data and context layers with robust governance and security controls – Staffbase is positioned to further transform traditional employee communications into intelligent, hyper-personalised experiences. The platform’s advanced analytics and end-to-end AI foundation ensure companies can deliver impactful communications while maintaining strong compliance and privacy protections. 

Commenting on the sponsorship, Martin Böhringer, Co-Founder & CEO of Staffbase, said:

“What excites me about WorkL’s approach is they’re measuring what actually matters: whether people genuinely feel valued and connected at work. The companies winning these awards understand that real engagement can’t be mandated from the top down. It comes from ensuring every employee, whether they’re in the C-suite or on the factory floor, feels like they’re part of something meaningful. That’s exactly the type of forward-thinking we’re building at Staffbase, and why we’re proud to support WorkL in recognising the companies getting this right.”
