HiBob Launches “In Good Company” – A Global Community for People-First HR Leaders

HiBob unveiled the introduction of “In Good Company”, a worldwide professional community built for HR professionals, people managers, and future leaders dedicated to placing employees at the center of business.

It is a strategic step beyond software that places HiBob not only as an HR platform vendor but also as a convenor of people-first transformation within the HR space.

What “In Good Company” Offers

Good Company vows virtual and physical spaces where members will meet, cooperate and learn from peers and authorities. As per HiBob’s release, the community will tackle essential subjects such as creating belonging and culture, extending employee life cycle, managing AI in HR, and tying people strategy to business strategy.

Influential HR voices like Christine Song (5 to 9 Society) and Adam Weber (15Five Chief Evangelist) have already embraced the initiative, appreciating its emphasis on “real HR leaders discussing real HR issues.”

As HiBob CMO Sophie Chesters sees it, the community is not just a networking group—it’s a “movement to change how work should work for everyone,” particularly in a world where AI and digital transformation put enormous burdens on HR teams.

Consequences for the HR Profession

The introduction of In Good Company has several significant consequences for human resources professionals and the wider HR profession:

Transition from software to people & culture: Whereas HiBob’s HR suite has concentrated on workflows, analytics and experience, this new transition recognizes that HR’s space is also about relationships between people, learning and leadership sharing. HR leaders now have an ecosystem outside their own organization to draw from.

Leadership growth and peer education: The community highlights that HR doesn’t work in isolation. Through cross-company conversations and sharing of best practices, HR leaders are best placed to deal with intricate topics such as hybrid work, AI implementation in HR and culture transformation.

Strategic leveling of HR: By connecting HR issues to business priorities (e.g., “people-first cultures drive business performance”), In Good Company validates the idea that HR is not merely transactional but strategic. This can give HR functions a more powerful seat at the executive table.

Support for change in an AI-era workplace: HiBob particularly recognizes that AI-powered business transformation “puts a giant load on HR, teams need to learn, move quickly, and evolve together.”

For HR, having a peer community dedicated to these frontier questions is likely to drive capability development more speedily.

How it will Greatly Impact Businesses

For businesses working across industries, the advent of a special community for HR leaders has greater business implications:

Enhanced Talent Experience and Retention: Organizations that invest in HR leadership, culture, and community create workplaces where employees feel valued. This leads to higher engagement, lower turnover, and better business performance.

Accelerated Adoption of HR Innovations: By sharing best practices, organizations can quickly adopt new HR tools and frameworks. This speeds up the time-to-value for HR initiatives.

Deeper Alignment Between Business and People Strategy: When HR professionals engage in real conversations about strategy and culture, organizations achieve better alignment. This connects business results, workforce planning, and talent management more closely.

Employer branding competitive advantage: A culture of people-first championed by HR leaders who are connected to global communities conveys to candidates and employees that the organisation is a progressive one, thus building employer brand within competitive talent pools.

Conclusion

HiBob’s launch of In Good Company is more than a product announcement. It marks a shift in how HR views its role in today’s organizations. HiBob builds a global community for HR leaders. This helps share ideas, grow leadership skills, and increase HR’s strategic value. HR professionals can network, learn, and lead in a changing workplace. For companies, it shows the need to invest in people-focused cultures. These cultures should be backed by connected, forward-thinking, and business-aligned HR teams.
