We’re excited to share that Namely has been named one of TIME magazine’s America’s Top WorkTech Companies of 2026. Namely earned a place on the inaugural list developed by TIME and Statista to recognize organizations embracing the future of work through innovation, impact, and business performance.
We’re thrilled to add this recognition alongside our listing of Forbes’s Best HCM Software of 2026.
Recognition like this is especially meaningful because it reflects something we’ve believed from the beginning: HR teams deserve technology to make life easier for everyone involved.
That mission continues to guide everything we do.
Built for the Reality of Running a Midsized Business
Midsized organizations occupy a unique space.
They’re often growing quickly, adding new employees, expanding benefits programs, navigating increasingly complex compliance requirements, and trying to create great employee experiences along the way. At the same time, they usually don’t have the massive HR teams or resources available to large enterprises.
That’s where Namely comes in.
Our platform was built specifically to help midsized teams manage the entire employee lifecycle. We bring together HR, payroll, benefits, time tracking, and talent management in one connected experience. Instead of forcing growing organizations to stitch together disconnected systems, we help simplify the work so HR leaders can focus on what matters most: their people.
Recognition in an Evolving World of Work
The workplace has transformed dramatically over the last few years. Hybrid work, distributed teams, evolving employee expectations, and the rise of AI-powered tools are reshaping how organizations attract, retain, and engage talent.
According to TIME, the companies included on this year’s list are helping drive that transformation through workplace technologies focused on HR, workforce management, employee experience, learning, and workplace operations.
What excites us most isn’t the award itself. It’s what the recognition represents: thousands of HR professionals, people leaders, and business decision-makers who trust Namely to support their organizations every day.
Technology That Keeps People at the Center
At Namely, we’ve always believed that great HR technology should keep the “human” in “human resources.”
After all, the most revolutionary software doesn’t replace relationships. It supports them.
It gives managers better visibility into their teams. It helps employees access the information they need. It allows HR professionals to spend less time on administrative tasks and more time building culture, developing employees, and supporting business growth.
As workplace technology continues to evolve, that philosophy remains unchanged. We’re committed to delivering solutions that help midsized businesses operate more efficiently while creating better experiences for employees and HR teams alike.
Looking Ahead
Being named one of TIME’s America’s Top WorkTech Companies of 2026 is an incredible milestone, but it’s not the finish line. It’s motivation to keep innovating, listening, and delivering the tools midsized businesses need to thrive in a rapidly changing world of work.
