Welliba Wins 2026 Lighthouse Tech Awards for Best Innovative or Emerging Tech Solution

Welliba has been named a 2026 Lighthouse Tech Award Winner in the Core HR/Workforce category for Best Innovative or Emerging Tech Solution.

The recognition highlights Welliba’s approach to employee listening: translating sentiment into practical, real-time insight leaders can use to prioritise actions, reduce risk, and improve the everyday experience of work.

“Welliba offers a fresh perspective on employee listening by translating sentiment into insights leaders can act on in real time. Their emerging technology aligns well with the market’s shift from static surveys to continuous, emotionally intelligent feedback loops.”

“Welliba was built to help organisations move faster from signals to decisions,” said David Barrett, CEO of Welliba. “This award is an important validation of the shift we’re seeing in the market, away from periodic, friction-heavy listening, and toward continuous insight that leaders can operationalise in the flow of work.”

Welliba’s technology is designed to complement existing HR systems and listening strategies by adding external, sentiment insight and competitor benchmarking capability, helping organisations understand where employee experience is strengthening, where it’s deteriorating, and what those changes are likely to predict.

The Lighthouse Tech Awards (formerly the HR Tech Awards) recognise HR technology providers demonstrating measurable impact, innovation, and practical application. Winners will be recognised in partnership with UNLEASH America, with “Best in Class” winners showcased at UNLEASH America 2026 in Las Vegas on March 19, 2026.
