As most companies were forced to adopt a work from home policy due to the COVID-19 outbreak, they quickly realized that employee productivity has not significantly declined. As a result, they are choosing to reduce spends on office space and invest more in collaboration tools and solutions. Therefore, the spend on employee engagement solutions is forecasted to grow.

Workfam uses a subscription-based business model. The benefits of a subscription-based business model is increased visibility and predictability with recurring revenue. A client will purchase a base license from Workfam. The base license will cover at a minimum 5% of their employee count. Regardless of the client’s consumptions, Workfam will be able charge the client the fees associated to their base license.
A user license is only considered “consumed” once the user is considered “active”. The definition for an active user is when an employee browses, opens are joins a wellness initiative or notification created by the admin or colleague. Should the number of active users exceed the number of user licences available in their base license, the will be forced to purchase additional user licenses at a preferential rate.
Active usage can be assessed, billed and refresh on a monthly or quarterly basis. One the client settles his invoice associated to their consumption, active usage is reset, consumption goes back down to 0% and the new billing cycle starts.

Risks

As the impacts of Covid-19 continue to have an effect on businesses of all shapes and sizes, it is certainly a risk that budgets are significant cut or reduced for Human Capital solutions. However, we do not believe this to be the case as spends on communication, collaboration and engagement tools are more important that ever as organizations continue to roll out work from home policies.
