↑ 4%Workleap has launched a Human Capital agent built in partnership with Slack, using Slack's Real-Time Search API and Model Context Protocol. The agent provides people managers with real-time visibility into team performance, engagement and coaching moments by analysing Slack conversations alongside Workleap's existing HR data. The integration allows managers to access team signals from Slack channels and messages, combined with performance goals, engagement insights and historical review data. Slack admins control access permissions, with Workleap only viewing what individual users can already see. The Montreal-based company says the integration enables more accurate performance reviews, sharper engagement insights and faster access to workplace information. The feature is rolling out to all Workleap customers through February 2026, with plans for future AI-assisted actions within Slack workflows.
Workleap, a Montreal-based tech company, has appointed Peter Dougherty as Chief Revenue Officer to lead its next phase of global expansion.

Founded in 2006, Workleap serves more than 20,000 companies with its HR and IT solutions. The appointment follows last year's addition of CFO François Deschamps.
