When two companies share the same mission – to put people first and strengthen workplaces through empathy and innovation – a merger isn’t just a strategic move. It’s a natural next step.
That’s why we’re proud to share that Howdy is now part of HR-ON, becoming HR-ON Wellbeing – the wellbeing pillar in HR-ON’s all-in-one HR ecosystem.
Together, we unite employee wellbeing, people analytics, and HR systems to create workplaces where technology truly serves people
HR and wellbeing - finally united
For years, Howdy has helped organisations detect early signs of stress, provide access to professional psychological support, and supported managers in having meaningful wellbeing conversations, and offer access to professional support.
At the same time, HR-ON has empowered hundreds of companies with digital HR software for recruitment, onboarding, to HR data management.
Now, these two worlds come together as HR-ON Wellbeing.
With HR-ON Wellbeing, companies can integrate wellbeing data and support directly into their HR processes – or continue using Howdy as a standalone solution. The result is simple: one platform that unites HR, people analytics, and wellbeing insights in one flow.
HR-ON’s HRIS system now supports the whole employee journey – from recruitment to offboarding – with care and mental health as a solid pillar.

We've brought together the best of the best
For HR-ON CEO Ali E. Cevik, the merger marks the continuation of a larger vision to bring the whole employee experience under one roof.
“With Introdus, we took the first step. Now, Howdy is on board. This means we’ve brought together the best of the best within two niche areas – onboarding and wellbeing – into one unified HR platform. Our customers can look forward to using the solutions individually or managing the entire employee journey from hiring to offboarding in a single system.”
– Ali E. Cevik, CEO, HR-ON
The focus is clear: to provide customers with more flexibility, greater insight, and increased value – whether they’re seeking a single wellbeing tool or a fully integrated HR ecosystem.
From standalone strength to integrated insight
Howdy has always believed that wellbeing shouldn’t be a side project. It’s a vital part of how organisations grow and sustain healthy teams.
Through this partnership, that belief is now backed by HR-ON’s infrastructure and product ecosystem. This means that customers will soon be able to link wellbeing metrics directly with other HR data, from onboarding to engagement, performance, and retention.
Imagine being able to identify trends early, connect data between employee sentiment and HR processes, and offer tailored support before challenges turn into crises. That’s the kind of synergy HR-ON Wellbeing enables.
As Rasmus Hartung, CEO of Howdy, explains:
“We’re seeing that both customers and the market are asking for more integrated HR solutions – where wellbeing isn’t isolated but works in harmony with the rest of the HR processes. Howdy has always been strong in wellbeing but lacked that connection – and with HR-ON, we’re not just getting that integration, we’re becoming part of a family that covers the entire HR space from A to Z.”
– Rasmus Hartung, CEO, Howdy
What HR-ON Wellbeing means for customers
For our customers, this change is all about more – not different. Howdy will continue to operate as the platform you know and trust, with the same team and the same dedication to wellbeing.
But now, you’ll gain access to new opportunities, deeper insights, and stronger integration options across HR-ON’s suite of products.
Here's what you can expect:
- Continued access to Howdy’s features – wellbeing surveys, professional support, and response services remains precisely as before.
- Integration with HR-ON Recruit and HR-ON Staff – allowing you to connect wellbeing insights to recruitment, onboarding, and HR data.
- Holistic people analytics – uniting mental health data with engagement and performance trends.
- Proactive support and leadership sparring – through HR-ON Wellbeing’s built-in tools and expert network.
- A single, cohesive platform – or the flexibility to use Wellbeing independently, if that fits your organisation best.
Ultimately, HR-ON Wellbeing strengthens what you already have: a proactive approach to wellbeing, now amplified by an HR ecosystem that supports every stage of the employee journey.
A shared promise - people first
What makes this collaboration so powerful is that HR-ON doesn’t just develop HR technology – it’s a company built around the same human values that Howdy is founded on.
At the heart of HR-ON’s culture is its employee manifesto – a living document that defines what it means to put people first. It’s not a set of corporate buzzwords, but a daily reminder that employees should have freedom, trust, and the opportunity to thrive.
The Manifesto sets out principles that shape HR-ON’s entire way of working:
- Trust over control – believing that people perform best when they’re empowered, not micromanaged.
- Balance and wellbeing – acknowledging that sustainable work requires flexibility, care, and support.
- Diversity and inclusion – ensuring every voice matters and every individual can bring their whole self to work.
- Meaningful impact – creating technology that serves humans, not the other way around.
This human approach is reflected in Howdy’s own mission: to make wellbeing an active, measurable, and supported part of everyday work life.
By joining forces, Howdy and HR-ON are proving that technology and empathy can coexist. HR-ON Wellbeing combines HR-ON’s people-first philosophy with Howdy’s proactive wellbeing expertise, helping organisations care for their teams in more innovative and more sustainable ways.
Together, we’re not just building tools – we’re building a culture where people are seen, heard, and supported.
What's next?
Over the coming months, Howdy’s platform will gradually transition to its new home as HR-ON Wellbeing. Customers will receive regular updates and personal guidance throughout this process.
You can continue to log in, access your dashboards, and use your familiar tools as usual – only now, you’ll be part of a broader ecosystem designed to make wellbeing an integral part of HR.
