Norwegian HR platform for small and medium businesses bundling employee records, time off, onboarding, performance check-ins and a company handbook, hosted in Norway.
Huma is a modern HR platform for small and medium businesses combining employee records, time off, onboarding, performance check-ins and a company handbook in a single, conversational workspace. Founded in Oslo, Norway in 2020, it is built around a lightweight UX that replaces spreadsheets, Slack threads and legacy HRIS tools.
The platform pairs a central people directory with self-service leave requests, automated onboarding checklists, digital employment contracts, shout-outs, one-to-one templates and goal-setting. A built-in AI assistant helps HR admins draft policies, answer employee questions and structure performance conversations.
Key features:
- Employee records and directory with custom fields, org chart and document storage
- Absence and leave management with approval flows, calendar sync and Nordic public holidays
- Onboarding and offboarding checklists assigned automatically by role, location and start date
- Digital employment contracts with e-signature integrations
- Performance check-ins and one-to-ones with goal tracking and feedback templates
- Employee handbook and shout-outs centralising company culture and recognition
- Integrations with Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Workspace, payroll and SSO providers
Huma is headquartered in Oslo, Norway, and hosts all employee data on EU/EEA-based infrastructure under GDPR and Norwegian data-protection law. A full DPA, SCCs and granular retention controls are standard on every plan.
Trusted by 3,000+ Nordic and European SMBs, Huma is the reference choice for growing teams that want a modern, conversational HR tool built on sovereign Norwegian infrastructure rather than a US-hosted legacy HRIS.
