HR technology, every morning — wired to the companies and people behind it.
Workforce management platforms dominated today's credentialing news, with Quinyx named a Leader in the first-ever Gartner Magic Quadrant for Workforce Management Technology and Oracle retaining its Leader position in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for HCM Suites for enterprises of 1,000 or more employees. AI accountability moved to the foreground as an ongoing Workday discrimination lawsuit raises questions about liability for algorithmic bias, a PayrollOrg survey finds employee discomfort with AI in payroll climbing to 46%, and Honorlock launched new tools to help employers detect AI-driven hiring fraud. Rounding out the day, Maryland's governor unveiled an AI framework centered on regulation and reskilling, HR Tech 2026 announced 33 contestants for its flagship startup competition, and 360training expanded its safety portfolio by acquiring Atlantic Training's OSHA and workplace-safety course library.
