Recognition highlights SPS’ investment in employee experience, leadership development, and a people-first culture supporting nearly 3,000 employees across North America.

NEW YORK, July 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SPS North America has been named one of North America’s Top 100 Inspiring Workplaces for 2026 by Inspiring Workplaces Group, recognizing organizations that foster exceptional workplace cultures through trust, purpose, inclusion, and employee experience. The honor reflects SPS’ long-term investment in employee engagement, leadership development, wellbeing, learning, and communication programs supporting nearly 3,000 employees across North America.

Employee Investment Drives Business Results
SPS’ submission highlighted measurable improvements in engagement, leadership development, learning participation, and client outcomes resulting from its people-first strategy.

During the past year, employee satisfaction increased seven points while participation in the company’s annual employee survey reached 89%, reflecting strong engagement and trust across the organization.

Employees also completed more than 209,000 learning enrollments and accumulated more than 100,000 hours of professional development, reinforcing SPS’ commitment to continuous learning and career growth.

These investments contributed to strong client and operational outcomes, including a 95% client retention rate, a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 79, and 91% customer satisfaction for service delivery.

“Creating an environment where employees feel valued, supported, and empowered is fundamental to how we deliver for our clients,” said Valerie Mahoney, CHRO, North America, SPS. “We’re committed to investing in leadership, learning, wellbeing, and open communication because exceptional employee experiences drive exceptional client experiences. We’re honored to be recognized among North America’s most inspiring workplace.”

Recognition Reflects Comprehensive People Strategy
SPS was recognized for its integrated approach to employee engagement, leadership development, wellbeing, continuous learning, and employee communication across a geographically dispersed workforce. Presented in association with Engagedly, the Inspiring Workplaces Awards evaluate organizations across six areas: Culture & Purpose, Leadership, Wellbeing, Inclusion & Belonging, Employee Voice, and Employee Experience.

Commenting on this year’s honorees, Matt Manners, Founder of Inspiring Workplaces Group, said recognized organizations demonstrate that “when businesses put People First and build cultures based on trust, inclusion and belonging, they create the resilience and agility needed to succeed in a rapidly evolving world of work.”

Building Culture Across North America
Across nearly 3,000 employees supporting clients at more than 480 locations in over 120 cities throughout North America, SPS has built a scalable workplace culture focused on engagement, development, wellbeing, and belonging.

SPS’ approach is reinforced by findings from its 2026 State of the Workplace report, co-authored by WORKTECH Academy, which highlights how engaged employees drive organizational success by creating value for clients, supporting their colleagues, and contributing to stronger business outcomes. These findings align closely with SPS’ belief that investing in employee experience benefits not only employees themselves, but also the clients and communities they serve.

A Consistent Commitment to Employee and Client Success
The award adds to SPS’ growing list of recent honors, including a Gold Stevie® Award from the American Business Awards for Most Innovative Company of the Year, inclusion on IAOP’s Global Outsourcing 100 for the 13th consecutive year, and a Gold Globee® Award for Best Corporate Training Program.

Knowledge Grid Study Shows the Same AI Model Goes From Wrong to Right When Data Becomes Knowledge

Published

on

By

Findings point to a missing layer in the agentic AI stack: durable knowledge of the environment, built once and kept for every model and agent to use.

SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Knowledge Grid, the company defining the Cognitive Data Layer for AI, today announced a study showing an AI model’s verdict can flip from wrong to right without changing the model.

Enterprises are handing AI agents decisions people once made. Most reason over data with no memory of what is normal, so the agent or model fills the gap with confident but unverified assumptions.

In one example, the study gave the same AI models the same incident and data twice: through a conventional cyber analysis pipeline (SIEM stack) and through the Knowledge Grid Cognitive Data Platform, which contains knowledge of each user’s normal behavior.

On the conventional pipeline, the models misinterpreted a user’s routine work as suspicious; and another model confidently called it potential insider threat activity. In the Knowledge Grid stack, the same models correctly interpreted the user behavior and did not flag it as suspicious. Results held for both frontier and smaller open-weight models.

This knowledge is too valuable to rebuild for every investigation or question. Agents rebuilding it from raw data start from zero. Using Knowledge Grid’s Durable Knowledge Layer, it keeps that knowledge current, so every model and agent starts from what is already known.

“The most dangerous AI answer is the one that sounds right, but isn’t,” said Peter Bybee, founder and CEO of Knowledge Grid. “The same model got the same incident wrong, then right. The difference was the knowledge underneath it, and that knowledge should outlast any one question.”

Knowledge Grid is sharing the methodology and results with analysts and customers and will demonstrate it at VentureBeat’s Agentic Infrastructure Stack Summit on Oct. 28.

About Knowledge Grid

Knowledge Grid builds the Cognitive Data Layer: knowledge infrastructure that turns high-volume temporal data into Persistent Environmental Knowledge that AI, analytics and automation can reason over without reconstructing the environment each time. The KG Cognitive Data Platform is built on Rough Set mathematics developed by the company’s research team in Warsaw, Poland, and is protected by seven issued U.S. patents, with two pending. Knowledge Grid is headquartered in Salt Lake City. Learn more at knowledgegrid.com.
