Our take
Companies are increasingly recognising the value of data to drive business decisions. Workhuman has highlighted the impact of employee recognition on workforce performance and has developed an SaaS platform to address this.
Workhuman has launched new reporting features in its Admin Hub to enhance recognition program management. These updates provide program managers with improved control and access to insights from their organisation’s Social Recognition program. The new "Manage Reports" feature allows HR leaders to create and customise reports in real-time, making data more actionable and comprehensible. The "Report Access" function enables managers to authorise users to access centralised reports, eliminating the need for complex spreadsheets.
For 25 years, Workhuman has pioneered employee recognition, fostering appreciation, enhancing performance, and promoting inclusivity. The company’s platform captures authentic human moments and turns them into actionable insights, helping businesses make informed decisions and shape its culture. Workhuman continues to innovate, aiming to improve the reporting experience for its customers.
