Privately owned Workhuman, headquartered in the US, was founded in 1999. With approximately 1,090 employees, the company operates as a multinational human capital management provider specializing in social recognition solutions designed to enhance work performance and inclusivity, functioning as a tier 1 media tech buyer through its Human Resources Services.
Workhuman's annual conference, Workhuman Live, in Orlando on April 29, 2026, highlighted customer sessions showcasing employee recognition initiatives aimed at fostering culture connection and transformation. At the same conference, CEO Eric Mosley announced "Future Leaders," an AI tool designed to predict high-potential employees likely to become senior leaders three to five years before promotion, demonstrating approximately 80% accuracy in tests dating back to 2020. Earlier, on April 28, 2026, Workhuman released its "Humans at Work Barometer," a global study surveying over 6,000 workers across 10 countries on employee experience, trust, recognition, and AI readiness. The study's findings indicated that 72% of workers perceive their company as thriving, but nearly half believe work was better in the past. It also revealed a "profitability paradox" where company growth coexists with declining employee wellbeing due to a lack of recognition, contributing to a "strained workforce" experiencing "real mounting pressure."
