Strong customer wins across mid-market organizations facing employee engagement and retention challenges, particularly among hybrid and deskless workers, along with digitization of critical people development tasks, fueled the revenue surge in 2021. The company also saw continued industry recognition as a leader in the multi-billion dollar employee experience market, as well as strides in technological innovation that support today’s modern workforce and the challenges of The Great Resignation.

“This was an amazing year for HelloTeam in terms of growth and industry recognition, but I am most excited about the momentum we’re building for 2022 and beyond,” said Tanya Bakalov, Founder and CEO of HelloTeam. “Organizations are facing a retention crisis that requires modern software designed to provide an engaging employee experience, wherever they work. HelloTeam is in a perfect position to capitalize on this major market opportunity.”
