Staffbase launches in Japan, bringing proven employee communication solutions to support business growth and economic vitality

Dr. Martin Böhringer, Co-Founder and CEO of Staffbase, says:

I founded Staffbase in Germany 10 years ago. Japan and Germany share many similarities in their approach to business – both nations value precision, quality, and a strong work ethic. Leveraging our roots in Germany, we bring extensive experience from a market that mirrors many of the organizational and cultural dynamics found in Japan. We are convinced that we can add massive value to the Japanese business world by sharing our experiences and learnings from the German market. We look forward to learning, adapting, and building meaningful partnerships for long-term success.

Founded in Germany 10 years ago, Staffbase is active in over 25 countries, including Europe, the Americas, and the APJ region. With over 2,000 customers globally, Staffbase has established itself as a trusted partner in employee communication. Amongst these companies are North America-based manufacturing giants which are not only globally successful but also present in Japan. Now, the time is right to take the next step into the Japanese market itself, empowering organizations with innovative intranet, employee app, and email solutions that enhance internal communication and employee engagement.

Backed by leading global investors, Staffbase is one of the fastest-growing tech companies with over $100m in revenues and was named a leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Intranet Packaged Solutions two consecutive years. Reaching approximately 15 million users worldwide, including 20,000 in Japan, Staffbase continues to empower organizations with innovative intranet, employee app and email solutions that enhance internal communication and employee engagement.

Addressing key challenges in Japanese organizations

Japan is renowned for its strong corporate culture, teamwork, and dedication to quality. As workplace dynamics evolve, companies are navigating new challenges, including an aging workforce, increasing diversity, and the need to maintain employee engagement in a rapidly changing environment. Additionally, a cautious approach to decision-making ensures stability but can sometimes impact agility and innovation.

Staffbase is uniquely positioned to support Japanese organizations in adapting to these evolving workforce needs, enhancing communication efficiency, and fostering a more engaged, connected workforce while respecting and building on Japan’s rich corporate traditions.
