Pros

People on the ground but they are stressed out! Pay is good but it needs to be as you have no autonomy’and poor leadershi.

Cons

Don’t practise what they breech! Without Human its only work is false advertising. It’s all work! Chaotic with constant change.CEO decides and all leadership follow like sheep. No radical candour and no p safety. Most people are highly stressed. Don’t want people who question, just want yes please. Very immature org.

Thanks for submitting this feedback. There have been a lot of changes in our org structure and ways of working at Workhuman, particularly over the last 18-24 months. This is to be expected as we move away from a mature scale up into an enterprise environment, in terms of processes and structure. We understand that this can sometimes feel like decisions are moving further away from people as we build new decision making frameworks, particularly if you have been here for some time, as you have. This change is required though, to ensure we grow in the right way. In terms of our commitment to making work more human, we make every effort to make our workplace as human centered as it can be. This is evidenced by our internal Spark program which offers our employees a truly world class and unique recognition experience, which also results in a constant flow of recognition and human engagement for all our employees. Our Workplace Experience team also works hard to deliver outstanding employee led experiences and services every day. We're sorry to hear that these things haven't translated into a positive working and workplace experience for you and we would encourage you to talk to your leader or HX Strategy Partner, in confidence, and see if some of the structural issues you have described can be addressed.

Pros

Genuine human connection and collaboration. Great benefits. Autonomy and ability to share ideas that may create real change, at any level. Access to great AI tools and plenty of encouragement to experiment and learn.

Cons

At the end of the day, we are a business. We sell software. Sometimes in order to do that, we have to pivot direction fast or create deadlines that feel rushed. We aren't perfect - but you'd be hard pressed to find a company filled with better people who actually care about the work, the company mission, and about each other.

We appreciate experiences will differ but the experience you have shared here is very reflective of the experience for many people here, as evidenced by the comprehensive employee interviews we have conducted as part of our EVP redesign. We truly appreciate your contributions to the business and our culture.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for recognizing the strong relationships, flexibility, and benefits that many employees value at Workhuman. We recognize that customer-facing roles can be fast-paced and that experiences can vary across teams. As our business continues to mature, we're investing in stronger planning, clearer prioritization, and more effective ways of working across the organization. We'd also note that while recognition awards are an important part of our Total Rewards philosophy and are reflected in employees' Total Rewards statements, they are separate from base salary and bonus compensation. Recognition is first and foremost about celebrating meaningful contributions and impact, while also providing employees with tangible rewards for the great work they do. We know there is always more to do, and we remain committed to listening, learning, and improving the employee experience as we continue to grow. Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective.
