Our Mission

We believe work should be a place people actually want to be.

Where people want to work.

HR software has been built for decades around the needs of Fortune 500 companies and their budgets. We asked a different question: what if it was built for everyone?

Wana.Work exists to democratize enterprise HR software by making it open source, beautiful, and accessible to every organization regardless of size. We believe that every company, from startups to enterprises, deserves access to world class Human Capital Management tools. We believe HR software should be transparent, customizable, and truly belong to the people who use it every day.

Community Driven

Our roadmap is shaped by our contributors and users. Decisions about features, priorities, and direction come from the community that uses the platform every day.

Beautiful by Design

HR software doesn't have to be ugly. We invest in design, user experience, and accessibility. Beautiful software is more usable and more enjoyable.
