A Leader. Overall.
NelsonHall's 2026 NEAT evaluation named Legion a Leader in WFM overall—not in one category, but in scheduling and workforce planning and employee experience as well. Together, these distinctions tell a powerful story. It means NelsonHall, a global analyst firm known for independent, in-depth evaluations of technology and services vendors, sees Legion delivering for the business and the frontline, today and in the future.

Legion's position as a Leader in the 2026 Workforce Management NEAT reflects its ability to align labour planning with real-time demand, addressing the level of operational precision enterprises increasingly require. Legion is helping organisations reduce administrative effort, improve shift coverage, and strengthen workforce stability in increasingly complex labour environments.

Where Legion started and continues to lead
Scheduling and workforce planning aren’t WFM modules Legion added later— they’re central to the problem Legion was built to solve. Legion was designed around the realities of hourly, frontline work: demand that shifts by the hour, coverage that has to be right in real time, and schedules that affect people's paychecks and lives.
That focus is reflected in NelsonHall's analysis. Legion was named a Leader overall, and in two segments, including Scheduling & Workforce Planning, shown in the chart above and Employee Experience. NelsonHall identified particular strengths, including Legion’s mature, granular forecasting that translates directly into optimised labour plans and schedules, addressing a gap it identifies as common across the industry.
