Thank you for sharing this feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the connection between your work, changing priorities, and the wider direction of the business has not always felt clear. Purpose and meaning are core to what we do here, it matters. We encourage you to speak with your manager about how your work contributes to your department’s goals and broader strategic priorities. That conversation should hopefully help bring greater context and clarity.

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.
