The core HCM technology space is mature and crowded, making it a challenge for organizations to choose the right platform. As a relatively new player in this field, it is refreshing to see an HCM software platform with people engagement at its core.
A US-based Customer Relationship Management software provider achieved a 226 percent ROI upon its implementation of HiBob and recovered its initial investment in the technology six months after deployment. Nucleus found that upon the implementation of HiBob, the organization was able to reduce its year-over-year software and support costs by more than 15 percent, avoid SOC 2 non-compliance risk, and achieve productivity increases across its HR and finance departments. The use of the system also facilitated a renewed sense of company culture across its global, remote-first workforce.
Global operations offer numerous benefits for companies in an array of verticals, including access to talent, supply chain flexibility, and more. Yet managing people in different countries poses many legal, cultural, and logistical complexities for HR professionals. Our study shows that HCM platforms used by US-based multi-national companies are insufficient for addressing the complexity of global people management comprehensively and holistically. HR leaders are looking for alternative solutions to support various needs.
Uala achieved a 405 percent ROI upon implementing Bob and recovered its initial investment in the solution less than three months after deployment. Nucleus found Uala was able to leverage Bob's automation to increase HR team productivity, which enabled it to avoid tripling its HR team to handle volume increase.
Zappi achieved an 83 percent ROI upon implementing Bob and recovered its initial investment in the solution less than two years after deployment. Nucleus found that with Bob, Zappi was able to save more than £120,000 in employee and manager time costs annually, maintaining this efficiency through a 30 percent increase in headcount while improving employee engagement and reporting.
The joint HiBob-CIPD study shows that 40 percent of bosses are uncomfortable with collecting more personal information than is necessary for monitoring their people’s performance and wellbeing.

How essential is investing in HR software to companies, and what are their most important considerations when looking to invest? To find out, we undertook a research project together with CIPD where we surveyed 1,305 managers based in the UK who have HR decision-making responsibilities and are either junior managers, team leaders, or supervisor levels and above.
