Workforce holiday habits and practices during the most wonderful time of the year

Without a doubt, there’s a seasonal effect on people, especially when the holidays roll around. Employees react to the most wonderful time of the year by prioritizing their family and vacation time, and usually, these behavioral patterns go unnoticed or unassessed. We surveyed 1,000 US-based workers to discover their holiday habits and determine what really matters most once the festive season strikes. We found that time off comes heavily into play during the holiday season, but even those employees still sitting in the office find their minds wandering into festive…

The pressure to perform well can feel like a heavy weight on your shoulders. Regardless of job title or contractual responsibilities, your people want to work hard and produce results that make the company proud.

Seeing your people succeed is wonderful, but watching them perform well and feel good about what they do, is even more awesome.  This month’s…

Hibob in the news: on top of October coverage

This October, we celebrated Halloween at Hibob by treating the public to new survey results, and the findings were well amongst this month’s most notable coverage. Earlier this month, we found that modern workers feel their HR teams are ineffective and can do a better job at fostering.  As companies grow and startups scale, the world of work transforms too. It’s more necessary, now than before, for our people leaders and HR pros to create strong cultures that produce happy and productive employees. We shed some light on best practices…

Grow as you go with a mobile app that keeps your people connected

Flexibility has resurged as a top job perk that allows employees to achieve the ever-so coveted work-life balance they so deserve, while allowing employers to brand themselves as understanding and compassionate towards time needed to be spent out of the office. Flexibility and an “on-the-go” way of working have helped the modern workforce reprioritize; we’ve decided to embrace working from different locations and outside of standard office hours for reasons that include pursuing a better work-life balance, increased productivity, less stress, and to avoid a commute.  Companies, of course, need…

bobbers Know Best: Our Handy Hacks for Productivity at Work

There are two parts to productivity: getting productive and staying productive. The core issue is that office routines can become mundane. The same tasks day after day or a role that takes its sweet time to evolve in responsibility isn’t necessarily the most exciting circumstance to wake up to. And, yes - role diversity is the key to growing your people. Tasks that differ in mission, structure, and purpose keep employees engaged, especially when managers use their people’s feedback to help them curate a versatile to-do list.  However, to deny…
