BELLEVUE, WA, March 4, 2026 – Atana, the behavioral intelligence platform that helps organizations predict and influence workplace behavior, today announced it has been named a 2026 Lighthouse Tech Award Winner for Best Innovative or Emerging Tech Solution in Talent Development by Lighthouse Research & Advisory

The Lighthouse Tech Awards celebrate forward-thinking HR technology providers that are redefining how organizations attract, develop, and retain talent. Winners are selected by an independent judging panel based on innovation, market differentiation, and demonstrated impact.

"Atana is honored to be recognized by Lighthouse Research & Advisory for innovation in talent development," said Jeff Carr, CEO at Atana. "This award affirms our belief that culture-forward workplace compliance and learning solutions should do more than 'check the box' and meet the minimum requirements, they should generate meaningful intelligence on the workforce. By reimagining compliance and learning with highly engaging content and embedded behavioral assessments directly in the learning experience, Atana helps data-driven leaders see where risk is concentrated, understand cultural dynamics, and take action before issues escalate."

Turning Required Training into Actionable Intelligence

In its evaluation, the Lighthouse judging panel noted:

"Compliance training already reaches every employee. Atana turns that into a diagnostic tool. Atana's platform embeds behavioral measurement directly into the learning experience, turning required coursework into an intelligence source that helps leaders pinpoint where cultural and communication risks exist and act on them before they become problems."

Unlike traditional learning or survey platforms that measure completions or sentiments, Atana's solution integrates embedded behavioral assessment questions into required coursework. The resulting data is surfaced through intuitive dashboards and organizational insights, enabling HR, compliance, and executive leaders to:

• Identify concentrated behavioral risk across roles, teams, or locations
• Detect emerging cultural and communication issues
• Prioritize targeted interventions and leadership action
• Measure behavior change over time

Recognition Among Leading HR Technology Innovators

The Lighthouse Tech Awards are part of the broader HR technology recognition landscape that includes events such as UNLEASH America, where 2026 award winners are also eligible for "Best-in-Class" distinction to be announced live in Las Vegas on March 19.

The awards program highlights technology providers that are shaping the future of work by delivering measurable business impact through innovation in HR and talent systems.
