Mission: Changing the world with gratitude.
Hi humans, have you heard the news? We've become Workhuman. Twenty years ago we were founded and today we are the world's fastest growing social recognition and continuous performance management platform. Our new name reflects the power of bringing gratitude to the workplace. And we couldn't be more proud. We are a mission with a company. We are Workhuman. #weworkhuman #workhuman
Today we're highlighting Joyce Silvia as part of our #HiHumans series!
Joyce is a proud member of our Strategy and Consulting team in our Framingham office. A self-proclaimed ‘Army brat’, she spent her childhood years in far-flung corners of the world, including Honolulu, Seoul, and Tokyo. After traveling the globe, she concludes there’s no place like Boston to call home! When asked what she enjoys most about #workhuman, Joyce tells us it’s the colorful office space and stimulating environment – as well as working with some of the most creative, smart, and thoughtful humans you could find. She’s proud to be a part of the positive impact our work has for millions of employees around the world. When she’s not busy helping our customers achieve success – Joyce is a proud wife, a busy mother of two girls, and a talented baker (trust us...we’ve taste-tested!)
We make work more human.
Workhuman® is the world’s fastest-growing integrated Social Recognition® and continuous performance management platform. Our human applications are shaping the future of work by helping organizations connect culture to shared purpose.
With a consistent stream of gratitude fueling unparalleled, provocative workplace data and human insights, the Workhuman® Cloud is a critical software engine for global companies seeking to motivate and empower their people to do the best work of their lives.
Culture creators. Visionaries. Innovators. Game changers and changemakers. A Unicorn or two. That’s who we are at Workhuman.
We love what we do because we’re shaping the future of work – and the world – through our people and global technology. We’re building cultures of gratitude and human connection – and that starts with our own. Here you can be yourself, learn and grow with some of the best people you’ll ever meet. Be inspired to do your best work, celebrate life’s most meaningful moments, and truly experience the benefits of an award-winning workplace and caring culture rooted in respect and gratitude. You might just be the next human we’re looking for, because all the things that make you human and unique are the very reasons you belong here.
We move our industry forward by striving to become leaders in thought, innovation, and international ability. But a mission is nothing without the right core values. Our core values define who we are.
They are the four overarching values that guide us as a company and as people, creating energy and passion across our global offices.
Our number one value is Respect. We Respect each other and believe Respect for People, Quality, Teamwork, Risk Taking, Urgency, Customers and Change – is essential to creating the successful working environment and indeed, the successful company, we are today.
In addition to that, we aspire to be creative. Our aspirational values can be summed up in a simple equation:
We aspire to exhibit these values and behaviors every day.
These are the principles that guide us toward our vision. And we uphold and reinforce these values everyday by recognizing each other for behaviors and performance that adhere to these values. That is how we have created a culture of recognition at Workhuman.
We take special pride in our values as we teach our clients the importance of core values within an employee recognition program. The right values give employees a sense of purpose in their work every day.
We’re fortunate to have a team who not only know how to educate about values to our clients but also show each other how it’s done right. Our people are what make us Workhuman.
Workhuman is headquartered in Dublin, Ireland and Framingham, Massachusetts – just minutes away from Dublin city centre and Boston. Our modern offices are built to foster innovation, collaboration and a genuine sharing of ideas and technologies. We also have remote employees scattered from California to Belarus. Our inclusive and global company culture knows no boundaries.
We don't just preach about great company culture. We live it. Workhuman has been named a Best Place to Work in Europe, Ireland, and the United States, as well as a top workplace in Massachusetts by The Boston Globe.
We wouldn't be able to help clients build great workplaces without valuing appreciation and positivity in our own workplace. To that end, we offer a variety of employee benefits – competitive salary, great benefits, paid vacation time, work-life balance and the best recognition program in the world – that foster a happy, fulfilling, human work experience.
We aspire to make our recognition program the best in the world. Employees show appreciation by giving their co-workers Globostars, which can be redeemed for travel, shopping, dining—you name it! That's in addition to truly unique service anniversaries that celebrate relationships through personalized stories and videos.
Great ideas for our product come from any area in the organization, not just R&D. Through grassroots GloboInnovation contests, many of these ideas have led to awards and enhancements, keeping our product fresh.
When the work is said and done, it's time to let loose and have fun. From dress-up days to children's parties, we like to celebrate the friendships and positive energy that set our company apart.
Happy, healthy employees keep our company sustainable. That's why you'll find fresh fruit in the kitchen, healthy snacks, wellbeing talks, and fitness challenges that promote a healthier you.
Are you passionate about giving back? You'll fit right in. Every employee gets an annual free day for community service—that's in addition to company-organized service events and donation campaigns.
