About Us
Our Story
After spending more than 20 years in the Humaxa Capital Management industry watching organizations struggle with getting to the root cause of employee retention issues, Humaxa’s founding team decided to do something about it. In the summer of 2017, the team put their heads together to brainstorm not just what would work best to improve employee retention, but was would make it exceedingly easy to manage and see results. Our employee retention platform – complete with a fun, interactive chatbot – was born.
