HR.com has announced the winners of the 2026 People Analytics Awards, recognizing solution providers and teams that excel in leveraging HR data and analytics to drive strategic decision-making and deliver measurable improvements in workforce outcomes and business results.
The Best People Analytics Platform award was given to SplashBI. The platform helps HR teams and employers turn workforce data into actionable insights across the full employee lifecycle by unifying HR, finance, and operational data. This enables smarter decisions in hiring, retention, workforce planning, and DEI. AI-driven analytics reduce reporting time and improve agility, helping organizations lower turnover, accelerate hiring, and optimize workforce costs.
Naveen Miglani, CEO & Co-founder of SplashBI, commented: "Awards are always special, but this one means a little more because it was strengthened by the voices of our customers. Their trust, feedback, and partnership have helped shape who we are as a company, and we hope to continue this in the future. We’re grateful for that confidence and excited about what lies ahead."
The Most Data-Powered HR Team award went to EPAM Systems, led by Aliaksei Nekrakha.

Aliaksei Nekrakha, VP, Compensation and Enterprise Analytic at EPAM Systems, said: "Winning this award is a testament to our team's commitment to turning data into meaningful people decisions. It validates that HR can and should be a strategic force - one that pairs human expertise with the power of data. We're proud, but more importantly, we're inspired to keep innovating and setting new standards."
These awards matter because they highlight a critical shift in HR: from administrative support to strategic driver.
