Simpli5 Announces Platform Expansion Designed to Close the Gap Between Self-Awareness and Team Action

Image
Behavioral intelligence leader addresses the knowing-doing problem that leaves most assessment investments unrealized Simpli5 , the behavioral intelligence platform that powers team effectiveness at organizations including LinkedIn, Kaiser Permanente, and Notion, announced a significant expansion of its platform aimed at solving one of the most persistent challenges in enterprise learning and development: the knowing-doing gap. While behavioral assessments have proliferated across the Fortune 500, the vast majority of users never return to their insights after initial onboarding — leaving significant organizational investment unrealized. The upcoming Simpli5 release is engineered specifically to close that gap, translating one-time self-awareness into an ongoing team practice embedded in the flow of daily work. “Self-awareness that lives in a report is just data. Self-awareness that lives in your daily relationships is transformation,” said Karen Wright Gordon, Founder and CEO of S...

Understanding the Data: AI & Workforce Readiness

Image
The release of DataCamp’s 2026 State of Data & Literacy Report last week shows that we have a problem to solve: expectations for AI are far surpassing what workers are trained and prepared for. Two oppositional forces are colliding. Leaders see the ROI of data and AI skills. They expect the people on their teams to be working with AI across every function and they know the stakes if they get this wrong. But there is a lingering skill gap that persists. Because AI is so new we haven’t built the right systems to help workers get up to speed.  Traditional training is passive and disconnected from real work flows, prioritizing one way transmission of generic information that time crunched workers too easily tune out. It is too static and stale, and was never built for skills that evolve as quickly as AI or need to scale broadly across organizations.  We’re moving into a new phase of AI, where leaders get the hype and what it can do. But they want to see it connect to real...

Global Employee Recognition Programs in 2026: Why Service Year Recognition Is Becoming the Core of Workforce Strategy

Image
As organizations rethink how they engage and retain talent, service year recognition programs are emerging as one of the most effective and scalable components of modern global employee recognition programs. While many platforms focus on peer-to-peer engagement, companies across the United States and Canada are shifting toward structured, automated approaches to recognize employee milestones, including years of service awards, anniversaries, and career achievements. This evolution reflects a broader trend: recognition is no longer optional — it is infrastructure. What Are Service Year Recognition Programs? Service year recognition programs are structured initiatives designed to celebrate employee tenure at key milestones such as 1, 5, 10, 15, or 20 years.

How HR Tech Is Redefining “Productivity” in AI-Augmented Organizations?

Image
For decades, productivity at work has been defined in a fairly limited way, mostly by output, hours worked, and how well the business runs. Companies used to think that employees were successful if they got a lot of work done in a short amount of time, and they often thought that longer hours meant more work. This way of thinking, which comes from the industrial era, worked well for tasks that were repetitive and manual and where performance could be easily measured. But as work has changed, especially in industries that rely on knowledge, these old ways of measuring work have become less useful. In today’s fast-paced business world, HRtech is very important for questioning and changing these old definitions. It’s becoming clearer that measuring productivity only by time and volume has its limits. Creativity, teamwork, strategic thinking, and problem-solving are all important parts of modern work that simple output metrics can’t capture accurately. Employees may spend less time on a ...
