ATWORK TIMELINE
atwork (formerly known as Volunty) was founded in 2018 in Zurich, Switzerland.
After countless interactions with HR professionals, we focused on an unsolved challenge:
How do employee feedback and HR data impact business metrics and how can HR investments be quantified?
On this basis, we won two government grants from Innosuisse to create an initial scientific basis for measuring and improving employee engagement. These were the beginnings of atwork’s now extensive scientific foundation.
Further development of our software solution with the aim to support HR professionals in quantifying their work for their organization and providing them with scientifically sound and Al-driven recommendations for action that lead to desired results.
atwork raises a 3.25m Seed funding round from renowned Swiss investors to fuel the growing customer interest and ambitious plans to disrupt a saturated market. Read the article on atwork in the NZZ. To accelerate product development, atwork built a strong team of psychologists, data scientists and software developers in Spain.
atwork completes the development of its entire measurement solution. With atwork’s Impact Framework, acting as a first AI “Middle Layer”, the access to Large Language Models accelerated the further development of atwork’s Suite to complete proprietary Act and Impact features with the help of generative Al.
atwork offers the first entirely automated and fully customized action recommendation engine, making it the most comprehensive solution for transforming survey results into action plans – science-based, data-driven and powered by AI. atwork raises 1.5m to further accelerate growth and pave the way to Series-A
Using the Impact Framework as the basis, atwork enlarged its AI “Middle Layer” with two new key models to complete the development of remaining Act and Impact features: The Prediction Model and the Text-To-Number Model. The two new models make it possible to quantify and predict the impact of HR initiatives on HR KPIs on a large scale. This makes atwork the first end-to-end employee listening software and people analytics solution that HR professionals need to make a strategic contribution to business success.
Fueled by a differentiated product and a bold ambition to empower HR professionals everywhere, we’re working behind the scenes on something big. Our goal: to amplify the voice of HR and unlock the full potential of employee feedback. Together with category leaders in our space, we’re shaping the future. Stay tuned for innovative new solutions—starting with a performance management product launching in Q3—and announcements that will shake up the employee engagement landscape.
