Case Study: Spark Power Corp achieves culture integration and 80%+ employee engagement after acquisitions with Staffbase

How Spark Power Uses an Employee App to Integrate Culture After Acquisitions

Spark Power Corp is a high‑growth North American provider of electrical contracting and energy services with 35+ locations and 1,000+ employees that expanded rapidly through acquisitions. Faced with a dispersed, field‑based workforce, multilingual communication needs, and low engagement from email, the company needed a two‑way, scalable communications tool to integrate culture and align teams. To address this, Spark Power partnered with Staffbase (co‑developing the branded employee app SparkLife with HR Cloud).

Staffbase’s solution—SparkLife—gave Spark Power a single, mobile‑first employee app for proactive communications, onboarding, training, and a central point of reference. The app scaled with acquisitions, increased employee engagement (about 80% of employees now use SparkLife), improved tracking vs. email, and enables new hires to complete paperwork and training before day one, strengthening alignment and operational efficiency.
