Wisq recognized by HR Executive as Top HR Product of 2025 — revolutionizing HR service delivery and operations.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Aug. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Wisq, the leader in Agentic HR and creator of Harper, the world's first AI HR Generalist, today announced that Harper has been recognized as a Top HR Product of 2025 by HR Executive. The company will be honored on Monday, September 15, 2025, during the inaugural HR Icons Awards Evening at HR Tech 2025, being held at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

The annual Top HR Products competition, organized by HR Executive and HR Tech, is designed to showcase a range of notable solutions introduced over the last year. Reviewed by a panel of esteemed judges, each product submission is evaluated based on its level of innovation, value added to the HR function, overall user experience, ability to deliver on its promises and effective integration, customization and analytics capabilities. Following extensive assessment and product demonstrations, Wisq was selected as a Top HR Product of 2025 as it has been pioneering Agentic AI in HR with Harper and its proprietary HR Language Model (HRLM).

"For over 35 years, HR Executive has been at the forefront of the industry, evaluating the solutions that drive workplace transformation," said judge Elizabeth Clarke, Executive Editor for HR Executive. "With our Top HR Products competition, we look for cutting-edge technologies that combine value and innovation to deliver real-world impact. This year's winners represent how organizations can meet the evolving needs of today's workforce." 

HR teams today face unprecedented challenges in managing complex, policy-driven workflows while meeting the demand for faster, more personalized employee support. Traditional solutions often require extensive manual input, leaving HR professionals consumed by administrative tasks and struggling to focus on strategic initiatives. Wisq addresses these pain points by providing an Agentic HR platform that streamlines operations, enhances employee experiences, and allows HR leaders to scale impact without increasing spend.

Harper, Wisq's AI HR Generalist, revolutionizes HR service delivery by combining deep HR expertise with unparalleled functional capabilities. Unlike traditional automation tools, Harper understands and reasons through complex HR scenarios, delivering consistent, policy-compliant actions across systems. With the ability to proactively surface insights, learn company-specific policies instantly, and resolve up to 80% of routine HR tasks autonomously, Harper stands out as a transformative solution that drives efficiency while improving employee and team outcomes.

"This is exactly the type of innovation this award was created to celebrate." said longtime Top Products judge Steve Boese.

"This recognition is a testament to the hard work of our team and the transformative potential of agentic AI in the HR space. Harper is proving how AI Agents can solve real HR challenges at scale while allowing HR teams to stay deeply human," said Wisq CEO Jim Barnett. "HR is entering its agentic era, and we're proud to lead the way with the help of our amazing customers."
