Workera Earns Spot in TIME's List of America's Top WorkTech Companies 2026
Workera, the AI agent platform purpose-built to maximize human potential, has announced its inclusion on TIME's inaugural list of America's Top WorkTech Companies 2026, developed in partnership with Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics and industry ranking portal. The list was officially unveiled on June 9, 2026, and is available on TIME.com.
The recognition arrives at a pivotal moment in the evolution of workplace AI. A growing divide is emerging between organizations that are leveraging AI effectively and those that are being left behind. According to ServiceNow's Enterprise AI Maturity Index 2026, AI Pacesetters — the companies leading the pack — are more than four times as likely to measure AI skills across their workforce compared to laggards: 54% versus just 12%. Workera has positioned itself at the center of this shift, providing the infrastructure companies need to know what their people can do and close skill gaps at scale.
"AI gets better every day. The people working alongside it should too. That is the future we are building."
— Kian Katanforoosh, Founder & CEO, WorkeraHow TIME and Statista Built the Ranking
The America's Top WorkTech Companies 2026 list is built on a rigorous, data-driven methodology. Statista gathered and analyzed information from approximately 5,000 U.S.-based companies through desk research, online application forms, and collaboration with leading data and market intelligence partners. To be considered, companies needed to be headquartered in the U.S. and primarily focused on developing or providing workplace-related technologies, products, or services.
The ranking rests on two equally weighted pillars: financial strength and industry impact. Financial strength factors include revenue growth and overall market performance, while industry impact assesses intellectual property portfolios, digital relevance, and the broader effect of each company's offerings on the world of work. Each company received a composite score across both dimensions, and only the top 250 companies made the final cut.
"Knowing what your people can do is now the dividing line. Tools that measure and grow skills at scale are no longer optional."
— Workera, Company Statement, June 2026What Workera Brings to the WorkTech Landscape
Workera's platform operates through four purpose-built AI agents designed to handle every critical talent decision: who to hire, who is ready to advance, where skills gaps exist, and how to close them. The company's newest agent, Ambient Coaching, surfaces skills intelligence directly within the tools employees already use in their daily workflows — removing friction from the development process entirely.
The platform reads capabilities from tools people already work in and verifies them continuously at scale. Trusted by the Fortune 100, Workera has built a track record of recognition: the company has previously been named to TIME's Best EdTech Companies and World's Top HRTech Companies in both 2025 and 2026, recognized by the World Economic Forum as a Tech Pioneer, listed among Inc.'s 2025 Fastest Growing Companies, and featured on Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies list alongside Microsoft and Canva.
Headquartered in Palo Alto, California, Workera continues to expand its reach as enterprises worldwide recognize that AI transformation is inseparable from human capability development. In a landscape where the pace of AI advancement shows no signs of slowing, the companies that invest in continuously measuring and growing the skills of their workforce will be the ones that ultimately pull ahead.
