How Jimdo’s HR Project Manager centralized their remote HR operations

The Challenge

Following the transition to a fully remote model, Jimdo needed a way to manage time off, performance, and compliance across multiple countries. Growth wasn’t supported by their spreadsheet-based processes, and keeping employees aligned was difficult.

The Solution

Jimdo implemented Bob to centralise HR operations, enable localised off-time policies, and connect employees across locations. Spreadsheets were swapped for automated tools, and Bob’s Club View and Org Chart helped reinforce connection.

The Results

Bob now supports Jimdo’s remote-first team across countries. Employees manage their own time off, access documents with ease, and stay connected to colleagues—improving engagement and operational efficiency.

We chose Bob for the mix that it provided: creating interactions between employees, payroll, and HR admin, and its modern look and feel.
