Hiyans from all three offices came together virtually in January to celebrate the achievements of 2020 and to get enthused for a promising 2021. With the global pandemic situation, Hiya migrated its annual employee kickoff session to Zoom and made the best of an unpleasant situation.
While we cannot share all of the internal details, here are some of the highlights of Hiya Activate 2021:
- Hiya turned 4! Sure, we’re still newish, but are growing and growing up fast, and cannot wait to see where we’ll be by the 5th birthday of the company.
- We hired 48 awesome new people in 2020 and are planning on adding more and more talent. As we grow and expand, the demand for knowledge and expertise will increase as well, so we are constantly on the lookout for skilled individuals to join our powerhouse of a team.
- We signed on 120+ new enterprise customers, and are locked and loaded to add even more this year. Sure, you see how hard our Account Reps work year-round to spread the gospel that is Hiya, but when you sum it up into one number, you cannot help but be proud to be part of a team that very simply… delivers.
- Hiya was named one of Forbes’ Best Startup Employers for 2020.
“Forbes and Statista analyzed more than 7 million data points to identify the top startup employers. In particular, three aspects of each company were assessed during the evaluation: employer reputation, employee satisfaction, and company growth.”
