Danish HR tech company enters the German market with a people-first approach to employee satisfaction and retention

HR-ON is expanding into Germany with a people-centred HR platform that combines the highest data protection standards with a strong focus on employee satisfaction.

Unemployment in Germany has reached its highest level in over a decade, while around 40 percent of dissatisfied employees remain in jobs despite their lack of fulfilment. This puts growing pressure on employers to create attractive workplaces, prioritise employee wellbeing, and build long-term engagement.

With its market entry in Germany, HR-ON offers a digital HR solution that blends GDPR-compliant data security with a human-centred HR philosophy. The platform enables companies to measure and actively improve employee satisfaction systematically.

HR-ON: A direct way to strengthen employee wellbeing

“Many people stay in jobs where they don’t feel good – and that takes a toll on engagement and loyalty. With HR-ON, we’re giving companies a tangible tool to take action on employee satisfaction and create workplaces people genuinely want to stay in,” says Ali E. Cevik, Founder & CEO of HR-ON.

HR-ON’s integrated platform supports all key HR processes, including recruitment, onboarding, offboarding, time tracking, and employee wellbeing. Built with data privacy in mind, the solution is fully GDPR-compliant and stores all data locally in Germany.

Human-centred by design

What sets HR-ON apart from traditional software providers is its unique organisational structure. The company operates without rigid hierarchies, using self-managed teams where responsibility and decision-making are kept close to the work and the people doing it. For customers, this means direct access to both support and development teams, as well as fast responses to specific needs.

This way of working is reflected in the platform itself. HR-ON doesn’t just support day-to-day HR tasks – it also encourages respect, transparency, and trust. The platform includes tools that track both employees’ mental and physical well-being. When signs of stress or reduced well-being appear, psychologists and other specialists are proactively brought in to support.

“We’ve developed HR-ON as a system by people, for people. Our solutions go beyond functionality to promote openness, shared responsibility, and trust at work. That mindset is resonating strongly with companies in Germany,” Ali E. Cevik adds.

HR-ON is already supporting several German businesses and is a Premium Partner of the German-Danish Chamber of Commerce, alongside brands such as Bayer, Mercedes, DHL, and Siemens.
