Visier Announces Q3 Momentum as People Analytics Demand Surges

Visier, the globally recognized leader in people analytics and planning, closed out the company’s third fiscal quarter of the year with a surge in product innovation and market recognition. “Market timing is everything and people analytics is clearly having its moment,” said Ryan Wong, CEO of Visier. “We’ve seen unprecedented change, from resignations hitting all time highs, to mandatory SEC disclosures on diversity, equity and inclusion. All of this is contributing to the surge we’re experiencing in this market. While this is certainly good for business, what’s equally important is that we’re able to make a difference. We’re incredibly proud to be able to support our customers with innovations that directly tackle these urgent challenges.” Visier’s Q3, which ended on October 31, brought the company’s total customer count to over 12,000, with more than 12 million employee records under management.
