HR.com has named Infor Talent Science as the recipient of the Best HR Solution for Retail Business Award for 2026. The award recognizes the platform's innovative use of predictive analytics to address one of retail's most persistent challenges: attracting, selecting, and retaining the right talent in a fast-changing, high-volume environment. This recognition underscores the growing importance of data-driven talent decisions in an industry where frontline turnover can cripple operations and customer experience.
Infor Talent Science leverages predictive people analytics to help retailers make more informed hiring decisions. By identifying candidates with a stronger potential for fit, the platform enables organizations to build teams positioned for long-term success. It turns workforce data into actionable insights, allowing HR teams to move beyond reactive hiring and adopt a more strategic approach to workforce planning and retention. For retail employers, this means reducing frontline turnover, accelerating high-volume hiring, improving productivity, developing stronger leaders, and delivering more consistent customer experiences.
The implications for the retail sector are significant. With labor markets remaining tight and consumer demands ever-evolving, retailers cannot afford to rely on gut instinct alone when building their workforce. Infor Talent Science's approach demonstrates how predictive analytics can transform hiring from a cost center into a strategic advantage. By aligning talent acquisition with business outcomes, retailers can not only fill positions faster but also ensure those hires are more likely to stay and thrive, reducing the costly cycle of constant recruitment and training.
"Congratulations to Infor on this well-deserved recognition," said Debbie McGrath, CEO of HR.com. "Their innovative HR solutions help retail employers address workforce challenges, strengthen talent practices, and build stronger organizations and people."
"We are honored to be recognized by HR.com and grateful for this award," stated Trista Tolkacz, Customer Success Leader at Infor. "This recognition reflects our team's commitment to helping organizations make better talent decisions and create meaningful opportunities for employee growth and success."
