One Model's Big Win Signals a New Era for People Analytics

When it comes to measuring what matters in the workplace, One Model just raised the bar—and took home the hardware to prove it. The Austin-based people analytics platform earned not one, but two top honors at this year’s HR Tech Awards, staking its claim as the go-to tool for organizations seeking data clarity in an era of workforce chaos.

In a landscape where layoffs, hybrid schedules, and burnout are redefining the rules of engagement, HR leaders are desperate for tools that offer more than flashy dashboards. They want insights. They want context. And, more than anything, they want answers they can trust. One Model is delivering on that promise—and then some.

The platform earned accolades for Best Analytics, Measurement, and Business Impact Solution and Best Comprehensive Solution for Enterprises, awarded by the HR Tech Awards program powered by Lighthouse Research & Advisory. The firm called One Model a “clear leader” in the space, not only because of its AI capabilities but because of how responsibly it uses them.

That’s no small compliment in a world increasingly skeptical of black-box algorithms and opaque data models. One Model has made “explainable AI” more than a buzzword—it’s a product feature. By prioritizing transparency, the company allows organizations to trace every recommendation and data insight back to its source.

“Too often, analytics vendors prioritize appearance over substance,” said Ben Eubanks, Chief Research Officer at Lighthouse. “But One Model is built for practitioners who need real data governance and modeling controls. It’s one of the few platforms that offers trust alongside its technology.”

The dual award win speaks to the growing pressure on HR departments to quantify their impact. One Model's flexible architecture means it can pull in data from nearly any HR system—workforce management, payroll, ATS, LMS—and fuse it into a single source of truth. But what sets the company apart is how human the platform still feels, despite all the complex modeling under the hood.

Whether you're forecasting turnover, optimizing hiring, or making the case for strategic workforce investments, One Model equips users with the clarity they need to lead with confidence.

As companies brace for an uncertain economic future, the organizations that invest in real-time, ethical analytics won’t just survive—they’ll hire smarter, retain better, and build workplaces where people thrive.

Looks like One Model isn’t just winning awards. It's helping HR finally win the future.
