The company's history involves a series of acquisitions and rebrands. HighGround, a platform for employee engagement and development, was founded by Vip Sandhir in 2012. In July 2018, HighGround was acquired by YouEarnedIt, which was backed by Vista Equity Partners. In April 2019, the combined entity of YouEarnedIt and HighGround rebranded as Kazoo, creating an all-in-one people management solution. Kazoo, founded in 2013, continued to evolve its employee experience platform. In February 2022, Kazoo acquired WorkTango, an employee listening and analytics company founded in 2015 by Rob Catalano, Nadir Ebrahim, and Bjarke Jungberg Grouleff. Following this acquisition, the merged companies rebranded under the WorkTango name to reflect the consolidated platform's capabilities.
