A cutting-edge generative AI assistant has earned the prestigious Excellence in HR Tech Innovation award at the HR Technology Conference in Las Vegas. According to Top Products judges, Visier Vee stands out by offering data-driven insights designed to support HR leaders, managers and CHROs in their decision-making.

This year, over 100 established and emerging HR tech vendors submitted entries to the annual Top HR Tech Products competition, hosted by the HR Tech Conference and Human Resource Executive. Thirteen were chosen as winners, with a single prize given to the most innovative tool—in 2024, that is Visier Vee.

Keith Bigelow, Visier’s chief executive officer, accepted the award during a ceremony at HR Tech 2024. He told Human Resource Executive that it was incredible to share the experience with so many great companies on the Expo floor. “It’s impressive that even startups can compete on innovation,” he said. “Even bootstraps can have an impact on the market here.”

Why Visier Vee?

Vee impressed the judging panel with its ability to instantly provide actionable, data-backed outcomes, marking it as one of the best applications of generative AI in the product submission lineup.

While many HR tech solutions are committed to incorporating generative AI, Vee actively delivers tangible value to HR organizations. Visier has leveraged artificial intelligence for years in its people analytics platform, and the Vee product builds on this expertise.

The panel felt that this tool puts HR leaders in a position to influence and impact their organizations in meaningful, data-backed ways. A recent Deloitte report highlights the value that data-enabled CHROs can bring to the CEO and board-level conversation. “Boards of directors will want the latest details on the workforce, and the CHRO has an opportunity to create the biggest impact by connecting vast data and information with compelling narratives that humanize the business,” write Deloitte researchers.

Though the background framework is complex, Vee is elegantly simple—in essence, an easy-to-use chat interface. Users can ask questions with little fuss, and Vee translates those questions into queries. It leverages AI to provide accurate, narrative responses based on the organization’s specific people data, underpinned by Visier’s robust security model.

Vee promises no learning curve—just ask, and Vee responds. This functionally makes people analytics available to any authorized user within the organization, regardless of their data skills background. Vee even suggests follow-up questions to deepen insights.

The judges also felt that HR leaders will appreciate the ability to benchmark against industry peers through Vee’s data model, derived from 25 million anonymized employee records and 2,000-plus business metrics.

“Visier Vee’s ability to truly make data available for anyone who needs it, without extensive training and while working in whatever platform they choose, is what sets this tool apart,” says Elizabeth Clarke, Top Products judge and executive editor at Human Resource Executive. “It also frees up people analytics teams to work on more ambitious projects.”
