Digital employee experience (DEX) pioneer ranks #15 among 250 companies selected for financial strength and industry impact
Lakeside Software, the industry-leading digital employee experience (DEX) engineering company, today announced it has been named to TIME’s inaugural America’s Top WorkTech Companies of 2026, ranking #15 out of 250 companies recognized for their contributions to workplace technology.
Produced in partnership with Statista, the list evaluated more than 5,000 U.S. companies dedicated to developing and providing workplace technologies across HR, workforce management, employee experience, learning and development, and workplace operations. Companies were scored equally on two dimensions: financial strength assessed using revenue, funding, and market capitalization data drawn from public sources and company disclosures, and industry impact within the WorkTech sector.
“This recognition from TIME reflects what our customers have known for years, that when technology works for the people who depend on it, everyone wins,” said Mike Schumacher, CEO, Lakeside Software. “AI is accelerating what’s possible in the workplace, and we’re proud to be among the companies helping enterprises harness that potential. This is a milestone for our team and the customers we serve.”
The TIME recognition joins Lakeside’s recent designation as a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Digital Employee Experience Management Tools Magic Quadrant™ for the third consecutive year, underscoring the company’s continued momentum as enterprises turn to AI-powered digital employee experience solutions to gain greater visibility into the health of their technology environments and address issues before they impact productivity. The full America’s Top WorkTech Companies of 2026 ranking is available on TIME’s website.
