The recognition places O.C. Tanner at No. 16 in the Best HR Software Products category — based entirely on verified customer reviews and market presence data collected from real enterprise users.
Three G2 Best Software Lists in 2026
In addition to its Top 20 HR Software ranking, O.C. Tanner was also included on two further lists in G2's annual awards programme:

G2's Best Software Awards rank the world's leading software companies and products based on authentic, timely reviews from verified users. Scores are calculated using a proprietary algorithm that weighs customer satisfaction alongside market presence data — making the rankings a direct reflection of customer-reported value rather than analyst opinion or self-reported metrics.
"This recognition is especially meaningful because it comes directly from the voices of our clients. We're proud that organisations around the world trust our platform to support meaningful recognition, human connection, and thriving workplace cultures."
— Dave Hilton, Chief Product Officer, O.C. Tanner
