The leading HR platform for operational teams is scaling its presence across Europe, powered by AI innovation and strong regional growth.
Today, we are proud to announce that Humand has closed a $66 million Series A funding round, led by top-tier international investors.
This milestone represents a turning point in our mission: to connect the 80% of the global workforce that has historically been excluded from traditional HR platforms — the deskless worker.
And Europe plays a central role in this next stage of growth.
Europe: A Strategic Hub in Our Global Expansion
This funding round will accelerate and deepen our expansion across Europe and the broader EMEA region, where we are seeing strong demand from companies with large operational workforces.
Why Europe?
Because the region combines three key dynamics:
- Millions of operational workers across retail, hospitality, logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, and field services.
- Established organisations actively investing in digital transformation and employee experience.
- A growing recognition that internal communication and workforce engagement directly impact productivity, retention and operational efficiency.
Humand is already supporting organizations across multiple European markets. With this new investment, we will continue expanding in key countries including the United Kingdom, Ireland, Portugal, the Nordics, and other high-growth European markets where demand for inclusive HR technology is accelerating.
Our goal is clear: strengthen our local teams, deepen regional partnerships, and adapt our platform to the regulatory and operational realities of European companies.
The Challenge: 80% of the Workforce Still Underserved
Workers without daily access to a computer represent approximately 80% of the global workforce.
They are frontline teams who keep critical industries running: nurses and healthcare staff, retail associates, warehouse operators, hospitality teams, technicians, and manufacturing workers.
Yet most HR software has historically been built for employees with corporate emails, personal laptops, and traditional office schedules.
For operational teams, this creates constant friction:
- Limited access to company information
- Complex vacation or leave requests
- Difficulty accessing benefits
- Training gaps
- Fragmented communication
For HR departments, it means manual processes, low platform adoption, and disconnected communication flows.
One Platform for 100% of the Workforce
Humand was built to solve this gap.
We created a comprehensive, mobile-first platform designed specifically for companies with operational employees — without excluding office-based teams.
For the first time, organizations can connect their entire workforce in a single digital environment.
Our platform integrates:
- Internal communication and company news
- Leave and absence management
- Employee benefits management
- Learning and development
- Policies and documentation
- Recognition and culture tools
- Over 30 modular HR features
All accessible directly from a mobile device — no corporate email required.
The objective is simple: eliminate friction, improve clarity, and ensure information reaches every employee, regardless of location, role, or shift.
Meet Sammy: AI That Empowers HR Teams
A key innovation in this new growth stage is Sammy, Humand’s AI-powered HR assistant.
Sammy enables employees to interact with company information instantly and naturally.
- How much holiday do I have left?
- What benefits am I eligible for?
- Where can I find a specific policy?
Sammy delivers answers in seconds.
For HR teams, this dramatically reduces repetitive operational inquiries and frees up time for strategic initiatives.
AI doesn’t replace people teams.
It empowers them.
Three Strategic Investment Pillars in Europe
This Series A funding will consolidate Humand’s leadership in Europe through three core areas:
1. Strengthening Regional Trust and Market Presence
We will continue supporting European companies that are transforming internal communication, onboarding, and operational workforce engagement.
Every successful implementation reinforces our position as a trusted HR technology partner across the region.
2. Scaling Across Key European Markets
We are investing in local expansion, regional partnerships, and go-to-market acceleration across EMEA.
This includes growing our commercial, customer success, and product teams to better serve the needs of diverse European industries and regulatory environments.
3. Advancing AI Innovation for Operational Teams
A significant portion of this funding will accelerate the development of AI-driven tools like Sammy, expanding automation capabilities, analytics, and personalized workforce experiences.
Our vision is to build the most intuitive, inclusive HR platform in Europe.
Building the Future of Work in Europe
Humand was born to solve a structural inequality in HR technology: the exclusion of operational employees from digital transformation.
With this Series A, we are doubling down on that mission — now with Europe as one of our strongest growth engines.
We believe the future of work in Europe is inclusive, mobile-first, and powered by AI.
And we’re just getting started.
