Humu is a software company that uses machine learning to send "nudges," small recommendations based in nudge theory, to employees at work. Humu analyzes company data and employee feedback to identify changes likely to improve employees' happiness, performance, and retention. The platform then delivers "nudges," short messages urging users to change their behavior. (Source)

My work covered topics such as work ethics, behavioral science, psychology, human resources, nudges, inclusion, and team development.

Client feedback

"Evgenia is a rockstar translator! She has been providing Humu with high-quality Russian translations since May 2021. She developed our Russian glossary and style guide, and established how we speak to customers in Russian. She is thoughtful about her translations and makes sure to ask questions if they come up. When we were looking to add a second person to our Russian team, she created a framework for evaluating the linguistic tests, which helped me immensely to be able to select the right person. What's more, I heard from every single applicant that they had a hard time with the test because her translations were so good, there was nothing to fix! Beyond that, Evgenia is an absolute joy to collaborate with - she communicates proactively and you never need to follow up with her or wonder if she received your email. I would wholeheartedly recommend Evgenia to anyone looking to localize their content into Russian!"
