OKLAHOMA CITY (March 18, 2024) — Paycom Software, Inc. (NYSE: PAYC) (“Paycom”), a leading provider of comprehensive, cloud-based human capital management software, earned a spot in Fast Company’s prestigious list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies of 2025 for its advancements in time-off-request decisioning automation. Fast Company’s list recognizes the organizations shaping industries and setting new standards across the world through innovation.
“Paycom is the most automated solution in the industry, and this award is a testament to our talented employees whose innovations transform workplaces across the globe,” said Rachael Gannon, executive vice president of product at Paycom. “We’re proud to be at the forefront of innovation in the HCM industry, and we are excited to see clients continue to benefit from our rapid progression toward full-solution automation.”
Paycom’s inclusion is attributed to its latest automated tool, GONE®, which makes time-off decisions based on customizable guidelines set by the company. This helps avoid scheduling confusion, inconsistencies and pending approvals.
According to a chief human resources officer and Paycom client in the automotive industry, “With GONE, we’ve had the ability to pretty much eliminate all day-to-day tasks that managers have when it comes to PTO and time-off requests, allowing them to simply look at calendars, plan their business and take care of their employees, all without having to do things administratively.”
To determine the honorees, Fast Company’s editors and writers reviewed companies driving progress around the world and across industries, evaluating thousands of submissions through a competitive application process.
“Our list of the Most Innovative Companies offers both a comprehensive look at innovation today and a playbook for the future,” said Fast Company editor-in-chief Brendan Vaughan. “This year, we recognize companies that are harnessing AI in deep and meaningful ways, brands that are turning customers into superfans by overdelivering for them and challengers that are introducing bold ideas and vital competition to their industries. At a time when the world is rapidly shifting, these companies are charting the way forward.”
This is Paycom’s second inclusion on the World’s Most Innovative Company list. The company previously earned a spot in 2022 for its industry-first tool Beti®, an automated payroll experience that delivers accuracy every pay period. Beti self-starts each payroll, identifies errors and guides employees to fix them before submission.
