How Jimdo’s HR Project Manager centralized HR for a remote-first team

The Challenge

Jimdo transitioned to a fully remote model and needed a way to manage time off, performance, and compliance across multiple countries. Spreadsheet-based processes couldn’t support growth or keep employees aligned.

The Solution

To centralize HR operations and connect employees across locations, Jimdo implemented Bob. They replaced spreadsheets with automated tools, enabled localized off-time policies, and used Bob’s Club View and Org Chart to reinforce connection.

The Results

Jimdo now supports a remote-first team across countries with Bob. Employees manage their own time off, access documents easily, and stay connected to colleagues—boosting both 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.
