WorkStep Acquires WorkHound to Further Empower the Frontline Workforce

WorkStep acquired WorkHound, an employee feedback management platform built for the trucking industry.

“Frontline workers face constant challenges — from safety risks and erratic schedules to limited visibility and high turnover,” says Dan Johnston, CEO and co-founder of WorkStep. “WorkStep’s mission has always been to make the frontline a better place to work. Our acquisition of WorkHound allows us to strengthen this commitment by providing the most comprehensive workforce engagement solution on the market. We’re thrilled to join forces toward a shared vision, and we’re excited to welcome their impressive customer base into the WorkStep community.”

Key takeaways:

·       WorkHound was founded to elevate the frontline experience for the logistics and transportation workforce. Now, as part of the WorkStep ecosystem, WorkHound’s existing customers will gain access to a more comprehensive suite of frontline engagement resources, including more survey types, deeper AI capabilities, advanced predictive analytics, and improved data portability.

”At WorkHound, we’ve spent nearly a decade amplifying the voices of frontline workers with technology that enables communication, understanding, and improvement,” says Max Farrell, co-founder and CEO of WorkHound. “WorkStep shares our mission to empower workers and has built the industry’s leading AI-powered employee engagement platform to transform worker satisfaction and retention. This acquisition builds on our individual momentum and creates a real force for change— with better tools, stronger teams, and greater results.”
