Applaud is the workforce experience layer that makes digital HR simple. Applaud was founded in 2008 by Ivan Harding and Duncan Casemore, driven by a mission to create HR technology that focused completely on the employee. Applaud’s layer is designed to support your existing HR services, reigniting your existing HR technology, not replacing them to deliver one united workforce experience. Under the hood is a versatile and flexible no-code, HR-aware platform, which means you can customize practically anything without needing IT or developers. Creative freedom at your fingertips. You have the power to adapt existing templates or build completely new services as well as configure workflows and approvals that automate across departments and systems. Everything created is automatically available on all devices and platforms
