Betterworks has been named to TIME’s inaugural list of America’s Top WorkTech Companies 2026, recognizing organizations that are shaping the future of work through innovative workplace technologies and services. Presented by TIME and Statista, the award highlights companies making a significant impact on how organizations operate, develop talent, and drive business performance.
This recognition reflects Betterworks’ mission to help HR leaders align skills, performance, and priorities in a real-time performance intelligence solution for better talent decisions, stronger execution, and measurable business impact.
Why This Recognition Matters
TIME’s America’s Top WorkTech Companies 2026 ranking recognizes organizations developing technologies that help businesses navigate the evolving world of work. In partnership with Statista, the world’s leading statistics and industry ranking provider, the program evaluated approximately 5,000 U.S.-based companies through extensive research, industry data, and market analysis.
Companies were assessed across two key dimensions:
Financial strength
Industry impact
The top 250 organizations with the highest combined scores earned a place on the list, making this recognition a meaningful validation of both market leadership and long-term influence within the workplace technology industry.
As organizations continue to rethink how work gets done in an AI-driven world, this recognition highlights the growing importance of technologies that help leaders align people, performance, and business outcomes.
A Milestone in Betterworks’ Continued Growth
“Being recognized on TIME’s inaugural list of America’s Top WorkTech Companies is a powerful validation of our vision for the future of performance management,” said Doug Dennerline, CEO of Betterworks. “Organizations need real-time intelligence that helps them align their workforce to business priorities, improve manager effectiveness, and make better talent decisions. We’re honored to be recognized alongside the companies helping define the future of work.”
This recognition comes during a period of significant innovation for Betterworks, including the recent acquisition of Rypple, an AI-native platform designed to help managers lead more effectively in the flow of work.
Over the past year, the company has continued expanding its AI-native platform capabilities, helping organizations move beyond traditional performance management and toward a real-time understanding of workforce capability, performance, and potential.
As organizations navigate workforce transformation, skills evolution, and increasing demands for business agility, Betterworks remains focused on helping leaders connect strategy, execution, and talent decisions in a single, continuous performance management system.
The Evolution of Work Requires a New Operating Model
Organizations are entering a new era where competitive advantage depends on how quickly they can align people, priorities, and execution.
The rise of AI, changing workforce dynamics, and increasing pressure for business agility are forcing leaders to rethink how they understand performance and deploy talent. The companies leading this transformation are moving beyond static processes and annual planning cycles toward more dynamic, data-driven operating models.
This recognition from TIME reflects the growing importance of technologies that help organizations gain real-time visibility into performance, capability, and business execution—so leaders can make faster, more confident decisions.
