More Information
Very rare is the instance in which Central Mass. has a unicorn, a startup valued at $1 billion or more. But Workhuman reached that achievement in June when the company took on a London asset management firm as a major investor. Eric Mosley has been along from the start.
Workhuman, a maker of social recognition cloud platforms, got its start in Westborough in 1999 as Globoforce, and later moved to Southborough before expanding to Framingham. Mosley and his team found new opportunities during the coronavirus pandemic when so many workers were forced to log in remotely. In the first half of 2020, Workhuman said more than 300,000 workers started using two of its cloud products: an employee peer-to-peer recognition system, and another meant to help employees celebrate life milestones with each other.
The company’s now grown to more than 200 workers across Mass. and more than 700 in all, with customers like Moderna, Procter & Gamble, JetBlue and LinkedIn. Mosley is outspoken in his belief in the power of empowering workers, including in pieces he writes as a contributor to outlets including Forbes, Fast Company and the Harvard Business Review.
What do you think the future holds for Central Mass.? “Central Massachusetts is an up and coming area that is prime to support fast-growing companies like Workhuman ... we’re looking forward to sharing this special area with future innovators.”
Music man: “Music is very precious in my life. I love all the classics – Jimi Hendrix, Prince, Simon & Garfunkel and John Lennon.”
