History
Workforce.com was established in 2012 by Josh Cameron, Jake Phillpot, Tasmin Trezise, and Alex Ghiculescu under the original name Tanda in Australia. It launched as a self-funded initiative aimed at simplifying management for hourly employees. The company’s international growth was fueled by innovations such as a real-time wage tracker and a compliance monitoring system.
In 2019, Workforce.com broadened its presence in North America by acquiring the Workforce company, known for its HR journal and publication, thereby integrating media assets with its workforce management technology.
The foundation of the company’s methodology traces back to early 20th-century scientific studies that applied behavioral science to labor challenges. Today, it harnesses artificial intelligence and automation to enhance workforce efficiency.
Workforce Magazine
Until 2020, Workforce.com was responsible for publishing Workforce Magazine, a print and digital periodical centered on human resources topics.
Since its inception in 1991, the magazine has been known for the Optimas Awards, which honor outstanding achievements in HR and workforce management across categories such as Financial Impact, Innovation, Managing Change, and Competitive Advantage.
Between 2011 and 2019, the Game Changers Awards recognized HR leaders who introduced innovative practices and made substantial contributions to the profession.
In 2014, Workforce Magazine introduced the Workforce 100 list to showcase organizations demonstrating excellence in human resources management.
