Humanforce launches AI-powered workforce intelligence and learning tools to help frontline employers reduce compliance risk and administrative burden

Published

on

SYDNEY, July 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As labour shortages, workforce turnover and compliance pressures continue to challenge frontline employers, Humanforce has developed two new solutions designed to help organisations identify workforce risks earlier and automate one of HR’s most time-consuming administrative tasks.

Humanforce today announced the launch of Humanforce HR Analytics and Humanforce Learning, expanding its workforce management platform with AI-native tools built to analyse, interpret and act on workforce data, providing greater visibility into workforce trends, automating compliance training and help HR teams make more informed people decisions.

For many frontline organisations, workforce data remains fragmented across multiple systems, while mandatory training still relies on manual assignment, follow-up and record-keeping. At the same time, HR teams are being asked to manage growing compliance obligations, skills shortages and employee retention challenges with limited resources.

According to research from SHRM, more than 70 per cent of jobs globally are frontline or deskless, yet these workers have historically been underserved by traditional HR technology. The organisation also reports that 86 per cent of HR managers view training as critical to employee retention, despite compliance training remaining one of the most labour-intensive and manually managed processes for many employers.

“Frontline organisations are under pressure to do more than fill shifts,” said Clayton Pyne, CEO, Humanforce. “They need to understand where people risks are emerging, keep teams compliant, and make development part of everyday workforce operations. HR Analytics and Humanforce Learning give HR leaders and managers clearer visibility and more automated action, so they can spend less time chasing data and more time making confident people decisions.”

Humanforce HR Analytics: Workforce insight built for frontline HR teams

For many frontline HR teams, workforce reporting is a backward-looking exercise, requiring data to be extracted from multiple systems before it can be analysed and acted upon.

Humanforce HR Analytics is built with AI at its core, continuously analysing workforce data to surface trends, detect anomalies and flag emerging risks before they require escalation.

HR leaders can ask questions of their workforce data in natural language and receive instant, AI-generated answers, while custom dashboards, automated reporting and threshold-based alerts ensure critical workforce information remains visible and actionable.

“HR leaders shouldn’t have to wait until a monthly report lands on their desk to identify emerging workforce issues,” said Pyne. “Because AI is doing the analysis continuously, not periodically, organisations have more opportunity to address risks around compliance, retention, workforce planning and employee engagement before they become larger operational challenges.”

Humanforce Learning: Automating compliance training and workforce development

Alongside HR Analytics, Humanforce Learning aims to remove the manual administration traditionally associated with compliance and workforce training.

Integrated directly with Humanforce HR data, the platform automatically assigns learning when workforce changes occur, from induction for new employees, to role changes, internal transfers and compliance renewal requirements, ensuring every employee is roster-ready with the qualifications and training their role demands. Training completion records are automatically linked to employee profiles, creating a clear audit trail while giving managers visibility into training status, upcoming requirements and overdue learning activities.

“Training and compliance shouldn’t rely on someone remembering to manually assign courses every time an employee changes roles or joins the business,” said Pyne. “When learning is connected directly to workforce events, organisations can reduce administrative overhead while improving confidence that every employee is qualified, compliant and ready to work.”

A more connected view of workforce readiness

Training and compliance data generated through Humanforce Learning is surfaced within Humanforce HR Analytics alongside broader workforce metrics, providing HR leaders with a more connected view of workforce capability, readiness and compliance status.

Together, HR Analytics and Humanforce Learning reflect Humanforce’s ongoing investment in the Humanforce platform, built around how shift-based work actually operates. By bringing workforce insight and learning automation closer to core HR workflows, Humanforce is helping frontline employers reduce manual administration, improve compliance visibility and respond to workforce challenges more proactively.

Humanforce HR Analytics and Humanforce Learning are available now. For more information, visit humanforce.com.

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hollyland, a global provider of professional wireless audio and video solutions, is set to introduce new solutions for professional live production and modern content creation at IBC 2026. From September 11 to 14, 2026, the company will showcase its expanded ecosystem at Booth 11.C28 in the RAI Amsterdam convention center, where visitors can explore its newest technologies and products scheduled for release later in 2026.

Expanding Live Production Portfolio

Hollyland continues to expand its product range with new solutions for professional production and content creation. At IBC 2026, the company will introduce new solutions for professional live production, designed to help production teams work more efficiently, reliably, and seamlessly in demanding environments. The new lineup includes the Pyro 7 Ultra professional wireless monitor, Argus X1 all-in-one live production switcher, and Solidcom C1 Air and Solidcom SE 2 intercom systems.

The Pyro 7 Ultra, launching on September 3, brings professional monitoring and wireless video transmission together in one 7-inch monitor. Professional productions have traditionally relied on separate wireless transmission systems and standalone field monitors, with additional cables between devices and separate power sources for each device. The Pyro 7 Ultra can serve as an on-camera monitor and transmitter, or as a handheld monitor and receiver for mobile viewing. Its QD-LCD display delivers exceptional color accuracy, with each unit factory-calibrated via Calman® to achieve a ΔE <1.5. Users can also recalibrate the display with the Hollyland Color Calibrator to maintain color accuracy over time. The system also offers 20ms latency, 1km transmission, unlimited receivers, 4K60 video transmission, and TWiFi technology.

Also debuting is Argus X1, an all‑in‑one live production switcher slated for release in December. Argus X1 consolidates switching, monitoring, recording, streaming, and content delivery into a single device. A 10.1‑inch FHD touchscreen provides intuitive control, while 4K60 video I/O and support for three Hollyland wireless transmitters expand its flexibility across multi‑camera workflows. Built‑in streaming, ISO recording, MultiView, and connectivity options including Wi‑Fi 6, 4G, and Gigabit Ethernet make Argus X1 a central hub within the Hollyland production ecosystem.

Two new intercom systems will also be introduced during the event. Solidcom C1 Air features an open‑ear design, a 42g headset, 300m wireless range, and dual‑microphone ENC for clean dialogue. Solidcom SE 2 adds intelligent frequency hopping, a 123g build, 20 dB ENC, 3.5mm audio I/O, and up to 10 hours of runtime, delivering stable performance for field and studio teams.

Empowering Modern Content Creation

Hollyland is also expanding its creator‑focused audio lineup with several new tools designed for modern podcasting and production. LARK A2, arriving in early September, offers 48 kHz/24‑bit recording, three‑level AI noise cancellation, a 200m range, and an 8.5g transmitter. Quick charging, AI power saving, intuitive controls, and a –6 dB safety track support dependable on‑the‑go capture.

Launching on September 22, the LARK M3 introduces flexible multi‑person recording with support for four transmitters and four receivers. It provides four‑track independent recording, 48 kHz/32‑bit float audio, vocal presets, 300m transmission and up to eight hours of use on a single charge. The LARK M3 is well suited for podcasts, interviews, video conversations, and multi-person content creation.

Rounding out the lineup, the VenusLiv Air 2 will arrive in November with 4K60 UVC streaming and SAR AI Tuning 2.0, while maintaining the core performance of the VenusLiv Air.

During IBC 2026, Hollyland will host Roll & Win giveaways from September 11–14. Visitors can participate for a chance to win Hollyland’s products and other prizes. On September 11, the company will unveil its new products, followed by an anniversary celebration that evening. Meanwhile, all showcased solutions will be available for hands‑on experience at Booth 11.C28 throughout the exhibition.
