Refusing to accept the status quo of managing people operations using spreadsheets or clunky HRIS platforms, we saw the need to revolutionize the HR industry. So, we built a solution that is supportive, uncomplicated, and most importantly, people-focused. We’re building a company that believes people perform better when they’re happier, and we’re empowering our clients to do the same.
Humi was founded in 2016 and started as a simple cloud-based web app that stored employee data. Six years later, thanks to the tremendous support from customers and investors, we became the leading all-in-one HR solution for Canadian businesses by supporting them in three other key areas – employee benefits, business insurance, and payroll.
We believe companies have the responsibility to take good care of their people. That’s why we exist. We exist to make the lives of businesses and their employees easier, so they can take good care of one another.

When he’s not getting companies through the door at Humi, you can find Drew spending time reading about HR, people, and strategy.

At Humi, equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) are top of mind, which is why we’ve worked on carving out and maintaining an EDI strategy for our workplace. Our commitment is to recognizing the differences that make up our people, appreciating how those differences shape their perspectives, and giving people a safe space to be who they are as individuals.
We encourage Humigos to bring their authentic selves to the table every day. Our goal is to continue improving our workplace to be an equitable and diverse one, reflective of the world we work in.
