What it is

SpeakUp is a web platform for collecting employee ideas and addressing workplace problems through structured collaboration. Employees can post problems, solutions, questions, and ideas, then vote and comment. Managers can approve, amend, or deny highly voted ideas and solutions, with decisions visible to the team. A solution post must connect to a problem post. Anonymous posting is available unless a company administrator disables it, and private groups provide separate feeds for discussions and decisions.

Users can earn points and badges and compare standings on a company leaderboard. Managers can set up automatic Trello card creation when approving an idea or solution. SpeakUp describes verified email addresses, encrypted sessions, private hosting, and separation between customer sites; its security information says the hosting environment complies with PCI DSS, ISO 27001, and HIPAA. The Free plan supports up to 25 users. Startup costs $39 a month for up to 50 users; higher tiers range up to $699 a month for up to 500 users. Customers are billed for active users at each billing cycle’s end.
