StaffCircle provides a HR software platform that helps clients improve communication and feedback between employees in different locations, giving access to training, tasks and contacts. The software is designed to bridge the 'digital divide' between office-based staff and those working at home or on site by operating across multiple channels that do not rely on internet or email access. The platform targets employees who often miss official communications and aims to increase engagement and information flow. The company plans to add further software features as part of its growth initiatives. Following its recent equity funding, StaffCircle intends to launch a sales and marketing campaign and create five new jobs. The company was founded in March 2017 by Mark Seemann and is based in Leicestershire, UK.
