HR Acuity Acquires Anonymous Workplace Reporting Platform Speakfully

Acquisition further strengthens and accelerates HR Acuity’s leadership in employee relations case management and investigations, extending its reach with end-to-end employee capabilities

HR Acuity, the only human resources SaaS solution for employee relations case management and investigations, announced today it has acquired Speakfully, the safe, private, and secure platform for employees to voice workplace concerns.  

Speakfully was designed to offer real-time, proactive data and analytics to HR teams to provide them with the types of priorities and conversations that they need to have with their employees. Whether at their desk or out in the field, Speakfully allows employees to communicate with HR in an easily accessible and safe way when something goes wrong at work. Whether they choose to remain anonymous or share their name, employees can access real time updates on the progress and resolution of their concern within a secure portal using a unique key and password created at the time of submission.  

“Creating a transparent and trusted relationship between employees and their employer has never been more critical. Speakfully is the best solution I have seen when it comes to ensuring an employee’s voice is heard when something goes wrong. This is a first and necessary step companies must take if they want the insights that will enable them to take proactive steps toward creating better, more inclusive workplaces,” said Deb Muller, CEO of HR Acuity. “I am excited to be welcoming the Speakfully team and its clients to the HR Acuity family! This acquisition elevates our offering by enabling organizations with a full, end-to-end employee relations and investigation solution from allegation to aftercare.”  

“We are thrilled to be a part of the HR Acuity team as it is natural extension of our mission to provide as many employees as possible a safe and private way to report workplace concerns This has been our goal from day one and now, as part of HR Acuity, we can do this at scale,” said Jana Morrin, Founder of Speakfully. 

HR Acuity’s rapid growth follows a $47 million minority investment in the company from K1 Investment Management in late 2021, a leading investment firm focused on high-growth enterprise software companies. This year, HR Acuity was named to the Inc. 5000 List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies and was certified by Great Place to Work® for its strong culture for the third year in a row.

Certain statements about K1 Investment Management LLC (“K1”) made by portfolio company executives herein are intended to illustrate K1's business relationship with such persons, including with respect to K1's facilities as a business partner, rather than K1's capabilities or expertise with respect to investment advisory services. Portfolio company executives were not compensated in connection with their participation, although they generally receive compensation and investment opportunities in connection with their portfolio company roles, and in certain cases are also owners of portfolio company securities and/or investors in K1-sponsored vehicles. Such compensation and investments subject participants to potential conflicts of interest in making the statements herein. For K1, “carbon neutral” means that any greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions derived from a defined scope of K1’s activities are balanced by an equivalent amount removed, including through our purchase of carbon credits. In this report, our “carbon neutral” status is based on our GHG emissions footprint calculated in accordance with the GHG Protocol as of December 31st, 2023 (comprising Scope 2 Electricity and Gas usage and certain Scope 3 categories: Business Travel and Employee Commuting), amounting to an estimated 3,497 metric tons CO2e. K1 then purchased and applied carbon credits in 2024, amounting to an estimated 6,994 metric tons of CO2e. We engaged a third party to assist with the calculation of K1’s estimated GHG emissions for 2023, but we did not obtain independent, third-party verification of our “carbon neutral” status. To address our 2023 emissions, we contributed to the Conservación y Captura de Carbono / Conservation and Carbon Capture (CO2LTZINGO) reforestation carbon removal project in Coltzingo, Mexico (CAR 1464). This project was certified by the Climate Action Reserve (CAR), using the Protocolo Forestal para México (PFM) Versión 1.5 / Mexico Forest Protocol Version 1.5 and the Guía de Cuantificación de Acervos de Carbono y Monitoreo del Proyecto Versión 1.5 / Project Monitoring and Carbon Stock Quantification Guidance Version 1.5 with a validation date of January 15th, 2019.
