Founded in 2014, Sideways6 is on a mission to help businesses grow and develop through the help of their employees’ ideas.
The platform helps employees to have a voice in the business, not only helping staff to have more of an engaged and interactive experience with the companies they work for, but then also helping businesses to thrive off of the valuable insights they produce. Reports show that the businesses who pay attention to their employees’ ideas experience a lower staff turnover and are more profitable.
