Traliant Names Chief Scientist, Deepens Investment in Behavioral Data Science

Dr. Amanda Hagman’s appointment and additional investment in a proven behavioral data science platform advance Traliant’s commitment to workforce readiness and reducing risk


NEW YORK, Nov. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Traliant, the expert HR compliance partner, today announced an enhanced product strategy that incorporates behavioral data science to help organizations strengthen workforce readiness and reduce people-related risk. The strategy is supported by the appointment of Dr. Amanda Hagman as Chief Scientist and additional investments in a proven technology and behavioral data science platform.

These investments build on Traliant’s engaging, entertainment-quality learning experiences and trusted compliance expertise. By incorporating deeper behavioral data science into its approach, Traliant aims to help organizations move beyond measuring training completion to build workforce competency and better understand how prepared employees are to apply what they have learned in real-world situations.

While organizations invest significant resources in workplace training, measuring its effectiveness remains challenging. Completion rates show that employees have finished training, and knowledge assessments indicate what they understand, but neither on its own establishes how employees will respond when faced with a difficult workplace situation. This disconnect can leave organizations with an incomplete picture of workforce readiness and where additional support may be needed.

“Compliance strategies can’t stop at checking a box with training and hoping employees make the right decisions when it matters,” said Evan Kramer, CEO of Traliant. “Organizations need to assess whether their people are truly prepared to navigate difficult workplace situations and identify where potential risks may exist. By integrating behavioral science and deeper insights into our approach, we’re helping organizations build the competency and confidence that create stronger, safer and more defensible workplaces.”

Hagman’s appointment adds scientific leadership to Traliant’s expanded focus on the connection between learning and workplace behavior.

“There’s an important difference between knowing what to do and actually doing it,” added Hagman. “Employees generally understand that harassment, misconduct and other inappropriate behaviors have no place at work, but everyday habits, social pressures, and workplace dynamics can shape how they respond in the moment. Understanding these behavioral influences helps organizations identify potential risks earlier and provide more targeted reinforcement and support.”

Additionally, the investments build on Traliant’s broader approach to transforming compliance requirements into action through its RiskReady Framework, which helps organizations prepare employees and managers, reinforce learning, measure proficiency and evolve programs as workplace risks change. Incorporating behavioral science and analytics into this approach is intended to help HR and compliance leaders better understand where employees need support and use those insights to strengthen their programs over time.
