NEW YORK, March 10, 2026 – WTW, a leading global advisory, broking and solutions company, today announced that Expert, its HR AI assistant, has been named a 2026 Lighthouse Tech Award Winner.

Expert was recognized in the Best Advance in Practical AI category following a rigorous evaluation by an independent panel of HR practitioners, consultants and educators. Judges cited Expert’s proven ability to drive efficiency and real-world value, including reported 40% to 60% time savings on repetitive tasks and increased capacity for small and midmarket HR teams to focus on strategic priorities.
