AI-Driven Employee Engagement
Founded by Dr Brian Slattery, Paddy Doyle, and Barry Gordon in 2021, WRKY combines behavioural science with cutting-edge AI to deliver actionable insights for HR leaders. Its platform continuously analyses communication patterns, feedback, and organisational dynamics to provide predictive insights, enabling companies to proactively address workforce challenges before they escalate. By identifying trends in employee sentiment and engagement, WRKY helps businesses create more inclusive, transparent, and effective workplaces.
Unlike traditional engagement methods, which often provide static and retrospective data, WRKY’s AI-driven platform ensures a continuous feedback loop, allowing organisations to act on real-time insights. This dynamic approach improves decision-making and strengthens company culture, leading to measurable improvements in performance and employee well-being.
Scaling HR Tech Through Innovation and Partnerships
Since its inception, WRKY has rapidly scaled through its own deep expertise in HR technology, strong industry partnerships, and commitment to ethical AI and data privacy. In terms of its future plans, WRKY has firmly set its sights on expanding globally, particularly across the UK, USA, and Europe.
“At WRKY, our mission is to empower businesses with the insights they need to foster a more engaged and productive workforce. Driven by a visionary team with deep expertise, our journey has been strengthened by valuable research and industry connections, such as those with DCU, helping us deliver scalable solutions for a rapidly evolving workplace.”
