Workforce.com
Workforce.com is a workforce management technology company that has specialized in workforce management since 1922[1]. Their main activities are engineering, software, research, and media. The company is headquartered in Chicago, USA and has offices in the United Kingdom, Australia, and Southeast Asia.
Workforce.com was pioneered by James Rowland Angell, President of Yale and Carnegie Corporation in 1922. The Engineering Foundation and the National Research Council formed a joint initiative to coordinate the efforts of the 250 scientific, engineering, labor, management and educational bodies which were studying personnel problems in the United States. The first volume was published in May 1922 and included James Angell’s address to a personnel research conference entitled, “Reasons and Plans for Research Relating to Industrial Personnel''.
From 1922 to 1996, the Journal of Personnel Research tackled different milestones, regulations, and workforce management trends and issues. The Hawthorne Productivity Studies, Social Security Act of 1935, COBRA, and HIPAA are some of them.
In 1997, the Journal of Personnel Research transitioned to Workforce and grew to be not just a magazine, but a multimedia firm servicing the HR industry with magazines, research, webinars, and events. In 2011, Workforce introduced the Game Changers Awards[2]. It is an initiative to recognize HR practitioners who have been innovative and created a positive impact on Human Resources.
In 2019, Workforce was acquired by Australian entrepreneur[3], Tasmine Trezise[4], who merged the research and media with a workforce management platform now called Workforce.com.
