NAPA Earns Gold in the Brandon Hall Group HCM Excellence Awards by Demonstrating Proven Business Outcomes with QGenda Workforce Management

ATLANTA, August 18, 2026 - QGenda, a leading provider of healthcare workforce management solutions, today announced that its customer, North American Partners in Anesthesia (NAPA), received a Brandon Hall Group™ Gold HCM Excellence Award® for Best Business Automation Solution in the Future of Work category. The award recognizes the proven business outcomes NAPA has achieved with the QGenda workforce management platform, including improved payroll accuracy, reduced IT costs and complexity, and increased workforce satisfaction.

"Every year, the HCM Excellence Awards remind us that innovation is ultimately about impact. The organizations recognized this year have demonstrated that great HR strategies don't just improve programs, they strengthen organizations, empower people, and deliver measurable business results. We are honored to celebrate their achievements," said Rachel Cooke, COO of Brandon Hall Group and HCM Excellence Awards Program Leader.

Before implementing QGenda, NAPA relied on disparate legacy workforce scheduling solutions and spreadsheets across hundreds of facilities nationwide. A lack of standardized processes made it difficult to consistently apply the organization's complex pay rules. Working with QGenda, NAPA unified credentialing, provider scheduling, and time and attendance for thousands of clinicians on the QGenda workforce management platform. After automating more than 1,000 complex pay rules with QGenda, NAPA was able to accelerate payroll, increase operational efficiency, and improve data visibility. With intelligent automation and more accurate workforce data, NAPA has achieved 99.66% payroll accuracy.

"Today, we have 3,000 clinicians using QGenda to optimize scheduling and time management, reduce administrative burden, streamline payroll, and support accurate, on-time pay," said Paul Murphy, Director and IT Business Partner at NAPA. "We're processing payroll for our whole workforce using QGenda. They're the leader in stability, reliability, and ease of use."
