Irish-founded tech firm Workhuman has launched Human Intelligence, its AI-powered human resources software update, described as the biggest launch in the company's history.

Announced by CEO Eric Mosley during Workhuman's first-ever digital event, Human Intelligence 2025 features a number of AI tools designed to give employers and employees actionable real-time insights to improve company culture.

“Workhuman’s Human Intelligence platform brings AI to a valuable new source of business information: employee recognition and feedback,” said Josh Bersin, global HR industry analyst and CEO of The Josh Bersin Company.

"This information helps leaders identify individual and organisational strengths, weaknesses, skills, and opportunities for development in an exciting new way.”

Features of the Human Intelligence 2025 release include Workuman iQ Snapshots, which are data insights that highlight the impact recognition has on retention and engagement as well as skill-based insights for professional development and talent management.

There's also Recognition Advisor, a real-time AI coach that trains users to deliver more personable, meaningful employee recognition.

The AI-powered Culture Hub curates relevant and impactful "recognition moments" to support key initiatives and company values and strengthen employee collaboration.

"Culture Hub drives global participation, generates transformative insights, and amplifies recognition with viral momentum to sustain engagement and program success," said Workhuman.

"Highlighting personalised content reinforces company values at scale, aligns with business objectives, and instills positive behaviours in the long-term."

Finally, there are Reward Stores, ie shareable, feel-good recognition moments that represent the life-enriching impact that recognition and redemption have on employees.

"These posts allow award recipients the opportunity to express their gratitude for the coworkers who recognise them and the company that provides such opportunities.

"Reward Stories, featured on the Culture Hub, also gives nominators the ability to pause and reflect on the shared success, hard work, collaboration and support they’ve encountered while motivating other employees to pursue such experiences through their contributions at work."

Mosley said that Human Intelligence is "an entirely new way of approaching data, using it to empower humans with the knowledge they need to lead with purpose and compassion,” said Mosley.

“Embedding culture and insights into the flow of work enables organisations to cultivate magnetic workplace environments where every recognition moment drives meaningful business outcomes.”

“AI and data are tools—but humanity is the foundation. Human Intelligence is a testament to our belief that when organisations recognise and understand their people, they unlock their greatest potential. The future of work is human.”

One of Ireland's tech unicorns, Workhuman is headquartered in Dublin and Massachusetts and its HR platform is used by clients, including LinkedIn, Cisco and Merck, in 180 countries with a combined 7m employees.

In 2023, Workhuman achieved turnover of $1.15bn and saw pre-tax profits increase 21.7% from $71.6m to $87.2m.
