Tektonic Awards

Learn about this year’s most disruptive and innovative technology in the HR space.

By Marta Chmielowicz

We are entering a new period of innovation and disruption in the HR technology and software marketplace. Driven by fundamental changes in how employees want to be managed, HR has to evolve to accommodate these needs. Emerging tools are increasingly data-driven, automated, integrated across functions, and accessible. Although they all serve different functions, they have a common thread -the goal of making life at work better. This year’s TekTonic award winners were announced at the HRO Today Forum in May and are being recognized for their valuable contributions to the areas of workforce management, background screening, talent management, sourcing, relocation, and recognition.
