Workvivo is an employee experience and internal communications platform founded in Cork in 2017. It was acquired by Zoom in 2023, giving it global distribution while retaining its Cork-based product team. Workvivo replaces the traditional company intranet with an activity feed, recognition system, podcasts, live events, and community spaces that drive employee engagement and connection. The platform is used by mid-to-large organisations - typically 200+ employees - to communicate company culture, share news, recognise achievements, and measure employee sentiment. Workvivo integrates with HR systems including Workday, BambooHR, and Microsoft Active Directory for single sign-on. It also integrates with Zoom for native video calls and webinars within the platform. For Irish companies with distributed or deskless workforces - common in manufacturing, retail, and hospitality - Workvivo's mobile app provides a way to reach employees without corporate email. GDPR-compliant with EU data hosting options.
