BHG Financial | September 30, 2022
Today, BHG Financial (BHG) has been honored as one of the 2022 Best Workplaces for Women by Great Place to Work® (GPTW) and Fortune magazine. This is the second subsequent year BHG has made this prestigious list.
The women leaders of BHG drive a great deal of the success and this representation is integral to how BHG operates. BHG's persistence towards equality is one of the reasons the leadership team comprises over 40% women, compared to the national average of 21%. The recognition on this list is meaningful because it's the only company culture award in America that selects winners based on how fairly women say they're treated at work. At BHG, 98% of women agree that people here are treated fairly regardless of gender.
"Since BHG's inception, we have always focused on nurturing a diverse and inclusive workplace, Even as our company has grown geographically and in employee count, we've committed to providing personalized development programs that ensure women have equal opportunities. Our placement on this list emphasizes our dedication to offering a safe and fair workplace."
-Katie Barnes, Chief Human Resources Officer at BHG Financial
To determine the Best Workplaces for Women, Great Place to Work analyzed the survey responses of over 640,000 women who work for Great Place to Work-Certified™ companies that employ at least 50 women. Companies must also have at least 20% of non-executive managers who are women, and at least one executive who's a woman. In the Great Place to Work survey, 96% of BHG's women said BHG is a great place to work. This can be compared to the average US company, where only 57% of employees would say the same thing, according to Great Place to Work.
BHG Financial has been certified as a Great Place to Work® since 2016 and has been recognized among Fortune and GPTW 24 times on numerous reputable lists.

HiBob | October 14, 2022
HiBob, the company behind Bob, the HR platform transforming how organizations operate in the modern world of work, today launches its native Workforce Planning module, designed to help companies optimize for efficiency by enabling them to easily plan, track, and analyze their positions and people data.
Workforce planning is the process of building a robust organization through attracting, hiring, and training suitable candidates within each department. Businesses use workforce planning to avoid under or overstaffing and to support hiring employees with appropriate levels of knowledge, skills, and experience. Ultimately it allows businesses to reimagine their teams' structures, support their people's growth and by extension the company's overall success.
Incorporating a workforce planning strategy enables companies to carefully respond to emerging economic or technological trends disrupting the workplace to build realistic business plans. It also ensures HR brings visibility and data to the finance team, and other executive stakeholders when deciding, executing, and tracking headcount planning. Companies that "workforce plan" are more likely to experience overall success through strategic control and care of staffing needs balanced with business requirements.
HiBob used customer feedback to develop this highly valued use case, collaborating with a select group of over 25 early adopters. These included Eurowag, Parimatch, LHV, Danish Industry, Fiverr and Landa who all acted as design partners helping to define an MVP, and build the prototype that culminated in the final module.
"Changes to the modern world of work caused by flexible, remote, hybrid models and dispersed teams have made HR technology imperative for business success. By the same token your workforce planning strategy needs to be equally as dynamic and agile. It impacts every department within an organization because it's more than just headcount planning, requiring cross-functional input.
-Ronni Zehavi, CEO and co-Founder of HiBob
It's the foundation of effective recruiting and hiring, it reduces spending, eliminates inefficient hiring practices, and enables accurate predictions of future job developments. Importantly it increases employee retention through higher levels of satisfaction. When all of these facets align with the company's long- term objectives and goals, workforce planning should ultimately help drive the business forward.
HiBob's Workforce Planning module includes the ability to plan for cycles including the creation and evaluation of different scenarios such as re-organizations, acquisitions or other large-scale disruptive changes. It streamlines position planning, turning spreadsheets into living, running processes with full visibility, analytics, and accuracy for HR and finance teams. It also pulls analytics to identify any problems with the execution process, identifies skills gaps - and in this way helps with succession planning - as well as tracking internal mobility when filling planned positions.

Leading the way for the future workplace, Bob offers resilient, agile technology that wraps all the complexities of HR processes into a game changing, user-friendly tool that touches every employee across the business.
