New CHRO survey shows confidence drops where business impact is hardest to prove—exactly where leaders need answers most Austin, TX — February 25, 2026 — One Model, the #1 People Analytics platform for the enterprise, today announced record momentum in 2025—driven by enterprise adoption, durable retention, accelerating global go-to-market execution, and major advances in governed AI for workforce decisions. The company’s results come as HR leaders face a widening expectation gap: boards and CEOs want clearer answers on productivity, performance, and workforce ROI, yet many CHROs say the underlying data is the least trusted. In a recent One Model CHRO survey, only about one in three CHROs said they feel highly confident in productivity data, compared with 70% who trust attrition metrics. 42% cited fragmented systems as the top barrier to reliable performance reporting, and 47% said they often rely on dashboards even when they know they’re incomplete. “Workforce performance is the growth engine. If you can’t connect people data to outcomes, you can’t scale with confidence—period,” said Chris Butler, CEO of One Model. “Our job is to make workforce data defensible: connected across systems, governed, and usable by business leaders. The momentum we saw in 2025 reflects a market that’s done arguing about whose spreadsheet is ‘right’—and ready to run the business on facts.” 2025 business highlights Another period of 95%-100% Gross ARR Retention, driven by deep platform adoption in large, complex enterprises. Significantly, only one customer above the company's average subscription price has churned from One Model in the last decade. Competitive replacements reached 15% of won deals, signaling a growing shift away from legacy approaches and toward a modern data foundation for people analytics and AI. Commercial expansion: One Model expanded its go-to-market organization (including sales, marketing, and customer success) by ~80% across North America, EMEA, and Asia-Pacific. EMEA acceleration: Sales pipeline activity in Europe hit a record high, with active conversations across a record share of the region’s large-enterprise market capitalization—effectively putting One Model in dialogue with nearly every large, relevant enterprise buyer in the region. Financial discipline: One Model became cash-flow positive in the second half of 2025, with 95%+ of Revenue derived from long-term subscriptions. One Model is trusted by enterprise organizations including The New York Times, Dropbox, Reddit, NetJets, GE Aerospace, and the American Cancer Society. “We now have real-time access to data that allows us to make decisions,” said Tanmay Manohar, Vice President of People Analytics & Workforce Planning, Paramount. “With One Model, I’m able to pull up data with senior leadership and say, ‘This is enough to make a decision right here in this moment.’” Recognized for ethical, practical AI During 2025, One Model received multiple industry honors, including AI Breakthrough’s 2025 ‘Ethical AI Solution of the Year’ and UNLEASH/Lighthouse Research & Advisory HR Tech Awards recognition for Practical AI and Talent Analytics impact. Product innovation that brings governed AI into daily workflow One Model shipped major platform advancements in 2025 and is expanding AI-operated experiences into early 2026, including: One AI Assistant (live): a conversational interface for exploring workforce questions with built-in support for Insights, Answers, Analyze, Chat, Web Search, and Help Center guidance. One AI Data Intelligence (first release): AI-powered onboarding that helps new customers stand up complete people analytics deployments faster and shorten time-to-value. Data Intelligence delivers bleeding edge capability to agentically model and incorporate new data sets supporting scaled workforce intelligence. Universal API Connector (in use): connect virtually any API with intelligent configuration to reduce integration friction. Enterprise-scale performance: bespoke integrations now support reliable extraction of 7+ terabytes and 20B+ records per customer, delivering dramatically faster processing than just a few years ago. Data Modeling upgrades: native SQL exploration, entity relationship diagrams, version control for multi-user collaboration, and a test mode to review changes before committing, enabling customer self-service and true data platform replacement capabilities. In addition, Model Context Protocol (MCP) services are available today, allowing secure connections between One Model-governed data and enterprise AI tools (including Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) so customers can build internal applications and employee-facing experiences on top of governed workforce data. One Model’s ability to provide governed, secure access to people data across dozens of integrated systems for each customer positions it to be the infrastructure for delivering workforce data and intelligence through Enterprise AI channels. A global company built for global enterprises One Model’s team now spans 25 U.S. states, as well as Canada, Europe, Australia, and India—supporting enterprise customers operating across geographies, business units, and workforce types.

As of June 25th, One Model has been named the 2025 “Ethical AI Solution of the Year” by the AI Breakthrough Awards, a leading international program recognizing excellence in artificial intelligence. This award is more than a recognition—it's a reflection of our core belief that AI should be transparent, responsible, and aligned with real-world business needs. This award comes at a time when many organizations are struggling to balance innovation with integrity. As HR teams look to AI to help them make smarter decisions about their people, there is a growing demand for systems that do more than make predictions. They must provide insight, context, and accountability. That is exactly what One AI delivers. Turn Workforce Data into Ethical, Actionable Intelligence One AI is purpose-built for HR. It enables people leaders to extract predictive insight from their historical workforce data while keeping them in control of the process. With our no-code interface, HR teams can build custom machine learning models using natural language prompts, without needing to write a single line of code or rely on data science teams to translate business questions. But it’s what happens behind the scenes of this award-winning AI that truly sets One AI apart. Every model created in One AI includes full transparency into how predictions are made. HR leaders can see exactly which features influence an outcome and how those features interact, as well as control those inputs to align with the organization's goals. This level of visibility means teams can fine-tune models with confidence and make informed decisions with real impact. Build Custom Models Without the Guesswork Rather than forcing users to choose from pre-baked models or trust in opaque algorithms, One AI allows teams to build models step-by-step using One AI Recipes. These recipe-based workflows give users control over variables such as performance ratings, tenure, and demographics, ensuring that predictions reflect the realities of their unique workforce. Because the data models are built on your organization’s own validated historical data, the results are not only accurate but also meaningful. This is how we turn workforce data into decisions that matter. Create Insights through Conversation One AI Assistant is your conversational gateway to powerful, predictive workforce insights. Built directly into the One Model platform, it lets HR teams ask natural language questions and get clear, data-backed answers in seconds. Whether you're exploring trends in attrition, modeling the impact of hiring plans, or tracking DEI progress, One AI Assistant translates complex analytics into straightforward narratives. It combines the transparency and flexibility of One AI with an intuitive interface that empowers every HR professional. A Better Way Forward for AI in HR At One Model, we believe that AI in HR should serve people, not replace them. Our mission is to create AI tools that are not just powerful, but principled. This AI for HR award recognizes that commitment, but more importantly, it signals that ethical, transparent AI is no longer optional. It is essential. We're honored to be recognized by the AI Breakthrough Awards and remain focused on empowering HR leaders with technology that unlocks the full value of their data without compromising trust. To our customers and partners: Thank you for believing in a better way forward. We're just getting started. Read full press release. See One AI in Action: Request a Personal Demonstration Today
