South African HR startup Wyzetalk preps for Netherlands expansion

Wyzetalk, a South African-based digital employee engagement startup, is preparing to expand to the Netherlands after a "momentous" 2019 that included several multinational deals with major mining enterprises.

Founded in 2012, the Stellenbosch-based Wyzetalk is a digital employee engagement platform that over the last 12 months has successfully deployed with corporates such as Shoprite, Woolworths, Pick n Pay, RCL Foods, Harmony Gold and Impala Platinum.

The two major deals in what CEO Gys Kappers told Disrupt Africa was a “momentous” year for the company were with mining firms Anglo American and De Beers, which he hoped would see Wyzetalk’s solution deployed in 12 countries on four continents by the second quarter of 2020.

“Anglo American and De Beers have been amazing partners for us. They feel strongly about the power of connecting their whole business – from the CEO right the way through to their frontline workers everywhere in the world. They’re taking engagement, communication, safety and productivity very seriously,” Kappers said.
