Closing a Half Filled with Efforts to Strengthen the Presence of Tech in HRM

HR Acuity, the category leader in HR case management and employee relations software, has officially confirmed the conclusion of a strong first half for the year 2025, a period where the company’s primary focus was on product innovation, strategic partnerships, and growing industry recognition.

Taking a deeper view of what all it during this timeline, we begin from how the company upgraded its Speakfully by HR Acuity solution, an employee reporting platform, to accommodate an AI-powered hotline which provides real-time, intelligent responses to employee reports. Such a mechanism, like you can guess, makes it possible for organizations to scale their speak-up culture with immediate, consistent and confidential support.

Next up, the company further enhanced its HR Acuity’s analytics platform to pack together better benchmarking, AI-driven category mapping, as well as customizable dashboards, each component well-equipped to simplify the process for ER teams to track trends, evaluate outcomes, and take action with data. 

Another detail worth a mention relates to how HR Acuity’s integration with Workday Help is now available for users. Simply speaking, HR Acuity’s integration with Workday Help empowers mutual customers to route and manage employee relations cases in one centralized location. 

By doing so, this particular integration eliminates manual handoffs, and at the same time, improves HR workflow efficiency.

 HR Acuity also published its ninth annual Employee Relations Benchmark Study, which analyzed data from 284 organizations, representing 8.7 million employees globally. This year’s edition was specifically designed to showcase the growing need for proactive, data-driven ER practices in the context of improving business performance and employee experience. 

The study’s findings were even featured in HR Brew, HR Executive, Inc., and more industry-leading publications. 

Moving on, the company even formalized a partnership with Emtrain to offer solutions for clients that strengthen workplace culture and employee trust. An example relaying this stems from how HR Acuity clients now have access of Emtrain’s Culture Skills Toolkit. On the other hand, Emtrain clients are invited to try Speakfully for anonymous reporting.

Then, there was HR Acuity’s bid to expand its empowER™ community, an exclusive network of over 6,000 employee relations professionals. This it did on the back of a new partnership with Labor Relations Institute Consulting Services (LRICS). 

You see, the stated collaboration unlocks a dedicated track for labor relations leaders who are focused on collective bargaining, union engagement, and workforce strategy.

Among other things, it ought to be acknowledged that HR Acuity was named a leader in Enterprise HR Case Management, Investigation Management, Whistleblowing, HR Compliance and HR Analytics. The company received, in totality, a total of 21 badges in G2’s Summer 2025 Report, 20 in the Spring Report, and at the same time, it ranked #1 in Enterprise HR Case Management overall.

On top of that, it was certified as a Great Place To Work® for 6th straight year. This outcome was reached upon after 87% of HR Acuity employees said it’s a great place to work, 30 points above the U.S. average. Beyond that, Fortune ranked HR Acuity #14 on its 2025 Best Small and Medium Workplaces in New York.

Founded in 2006, HR Acuity’s rise up the ranks is largely orchestrated by its industry-leading SaaS solution which delivers powerful tools and AI-driven analytics to manage employee relations cases and investigations with consistency, clarity and confidence. The company’s excellence in what it does can also be understood once you consider it currently covers more than 9 million employees.

“The first half of this year marked a powerful step forward—not just for HR Acuity, but for the entire employee relations function,” said Deb Muller, CEO of HR Acuity. “Our continued investment in AI, analytics and strategic partnerships enables employee relations (ER) teams to act faster, surface insights sooner and lead with data. We’re committed to helping our customers build safer, more trusted workplaces.”
