Confirm, the first platform to inject the science of Organizational Network Analysis (ONA) into performance reviews to ensure talent decisions are based on data, announced that it has been accepted into the Second Annual SHRMLabs WorkplaceTech Accelerator Program, which supports the most promising startups elevating HR and solving present-day challenges and gaps in the workplace. SHRMLabs, a Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) subsidiary, launched its 12-week accelerator program in 2022 to assist in the scaling and growth of startup companies focused on the workplace and future of work technologies.
Confirm is one of just five companies accepted into the cohort, from hundreds of applications.

Confirm’s Organizational Network Analysis (ONA) approach mirrors how work is done today – in networks vs. strict, top-down hierarchies. With Confirm, all employees can recognize who at their company they turn to for advice and help, and who energizes them, so analysis can spot correlations and trends and identify true top performers. The company’s ONA-based reviews create a fairer playing field by expanding leaders’ visibility of an employee’s impact and ensuring performance decisions are based on larger sets of data rather than only the opinions of a single manager. The fast-growing startup has already landed many high-profile customers.
“We’re very excited to work with Confirm and all our latest WorkplaceTech Accelerator startups,” said Guillermo Correa, managing director of SHRMLabs. “Each of these tools and platforms meets the needs of the moment and drives innovation forward for SHRM members to meet the evolving needs of HR.”

We’re now ready to scale and accelerate our impact for the HR community.”
