The Most Valuable Intelligencein Davos isn’t Artificial. It’s Human.

At the World Economic Forum, we’re revealing how the right blend of humanity and technology is challenging leaders to rethink what they know about performance, potential, and what really drives value.

What Drives Us

At Workhuman, we're building a future where humanity and productivity rise together. Our #1-rated employee recognition platform puts gratitude at the center of work, generating rich human data that gets to the truth of performance – so organizations can understand, measure, and elevate potential like never before.

Keep the Conversation Going

Davos is over. The work isn’t. If you want a clearer view of how work gets done – and what’s really driving performance – we’d love to keep talking.

Thank you to everyone who came by to see us at Journal House in Davos!

All week, the conversations were refreshingly candid about what it’s really taking to make AI deliver: not just better tools, but better visibility into execution, stronger trust, and clearer signals of how work actually gets done.

We’re grateful to The Wall Street Journal and to the CEOs, CHROs, and peers who made Journal House such a thoughtful space. If you’d like to continue the conversation, we’d love to meet.

Improving AI Performance Through Human Data (with Financial Times Live)

Leaders agreed the blocker isn’t model capability – it’s fragmented systems, inconsistent definitions, and a lack of human context. Workday’s Aashna Kircher, SAP’s Gina Vargiu-Breuer, and Microsoft’s Katy George reinforced the same point: if you can’t see how teams collaborate and which behaviors drive progress, AI can’t reliably improve outcomes.

Beyond the Stack: The Human Edge of AI (with The Female Quotient)

This FQ conversation focused on the trust layer: experimentation, transparency, and leadership signals that make AI adoption feel safe and worthwhile. KeyAnna Schmiedl was joined by Regeneron’s Sally Paull and Boston Consulting Group (BCG)’s Judith K. Wallenstein to unpack a simple takeaway: most people aren’t resisting AI – they’re hesitating, waiting for clarity on what’s encouraged and safe to try.
