The age of disconnected HR tools may finally be coming to an end. Fringe, a leading employee experience platform, has launched Fringe 2.0, a sweeping upgrade that merges recognition, rewards, wellbeing, and learning into one seamless ecosystem designed to make work more human — and less fragmented.
One Platform to Rule the Employee Experience
For years, HR teams have been forced to juggle multiple tools: one for recognition, another for wellbeing, another for learning. Fringe 2.0 eliminates that sprawl. It’s built as a single, flexible platform where all forms of employee support live together, creating what CEO Jordan Peace calls “one place for everything that makes work human.”
“Companies have spent years piecing together systems just to show their people they care,” said Peace. “Fringe 2.0 removes the friction. When recognition, rewards, wellbeing, and learning are connected, employees feel seen — and the business feels the impact.”
Personalized Benefits at Scale
Fringe’s model revolves around choice. The platform allows employees to select personalized benefits that fit their lifestyle from a curated marketplace of over 100 global vendors. For companies like Turo, the world’s largest car-sharing marketplace, this approach has turned engagement into a measurable asset.
“Fringe has helped us connect global culture with local experiences,” shared a member of Turo’s HR team. “Our people have more ways to invest in their wellbeing, all in one consistent platform.”
Solving the Fragmentation Problem
The timing couldn’t be better. As HR departments navigate tighter budgets and rising employee expectations, many are looking to consolidate tools and reduce “tech stack bloat.” Maintaining separate systems for engagement, wellness, and learning leads to hidden costs, redundant spending, and diluted cultural impact.
Fringe 2.0 positions itself as the central nervous system for employee experience—a platform where connection, appreciation, and growth all work together. It’s not just about perks; it’s about performance, belonging, and long-term retention.
From Perks to Purpose
By integrating wellbeing, recognition, and development in a single flow, Fringe aims to push the industry beyond transactional rewards toward transformational engagement. The company says the new version is the culmination of years of research into what employees “really want from work.”
“When employees feel seen, valued, and supported,” said Peace, “great work naturally follows.”
With Fringe 2.0, the company isn’t just competing with HR tech vendors—it’s redefining what a unified employee experience should look like in the post-benefits era.
