Customizable

An intellectual property license gives you the freedom and flexibility to copy and modify the content for use within your organization. You’ll save, time and money and have the confidence that your work products are based on tested, research-based content.

Flexible

This is not a packaged software program. It is intellectual property content that you can use in any way you choose, and integrate into your own HRIS or one you that purchase.

Cost-Effective

One-time fee, with no annual renewal fees. The fee is calculated based on the number of employees in an organization who will be covered by HR processes that contain Workitect competencies. This often excludes hourly-rated employees.
