Fuel50 Named Best Best Employee Retention Solution in 2026 HR.com Awards

LAGUNA NIGUEL, CA, UNITED STATES, November 10, 2026 / -- Fuel50, the award-winning Workforce Transformation Platform, has been named Best Employee Retention Solution in HR.com’s 2026 Employee Retention Awards. The awards recognize organizations and solution providers advancing how businesses attract, engage, and retain their people.

HR.com, the largest network of HR professionals with more than 2 million members, selected Fuel50 for helping employers improve retention through visible career growth. Fuel50’s Talent Marketplace gives employees personalized career paths, internal opportunities, skills development, mentorship, and growth pathways inside their own organization.

“When people can see a future for themselves where they work, they have a reason to stay. This award means a great deal to us at Fuel50, and we share it with the customers who help their people see what’s possible and give them a real chance to pursue it.”

Jo Mills, CEO of Fuel50

Retention remains a top priority for organizations building engaged, productive, and resilient teams. Yet many employees still leave because they cannot see where their career can go next. Fuel50 closes that gap by connecting what employees want for their futures with what the business needs.

The Talent Marketplace makes career growth actionable. Employees can:

• See personalized career paths and the skills each step requires
• Discover internal roles, projects, and gigs matched to their skills and aspirations
• Connect with mentors and targeted learning to close skill gaps
• Get proactive, explainable guidance through Fuel50’s Career Advisor Agent, available in tools like Microsoft Teams

For HR and business leaders, the same platform shows workforce capability, gaps, aspirations, and internal potential. That visibility helps organizations redeploy and retain talent rather than replace it through external hiring.

“Organizations that invest in helping people grow are better positioned to meet the challenges of a changing workplace. These award winners demonstrate how thoughtful career development strategies can create lasting value for both employees and businesses.”

Debbie McGrath, CEO of HR.com

The recognition adds to a strong year for Fuel50, which includes being named to Inc.’s 2026 Best Workplaces list and the launch of its Career Advisor Agent. In September 2026, Phoenix Education Partners (NYSE: PXED) announced an agreement to acquire Fuel50, which continues to operate under its own brand.
