Case Study: Save the Children Italia modernizes performance management and streamlines HR with HiBob

How Save the Children Italia modernized performance management and saved hours on core HR with Bob

Save the Children Italia, the Italian branch of Save the Children, needed a modern HR platform to replace spreadsheets and manual processes as its headcount and projects grew. The organization also wanted to improve performance management and build a stronger sense of community for employees working remotely and in the field. They chose HiBob’s Bob platform for core HR, onboarding, and performance management.

With HiBob, Save the Children Italia centralized HR operations, automated workflows, and localized the platform in Italian so employees could engage more easily. The company moved from annual, score-based reviews to continuous feedback with goal setting, OKRs, and 360-degree feedback on a six-month cycle, while Bob’s self-service, reminders, and task lists reduced manual HR work and helped save hours on core HR. HiBob also supported company-wide announcements, Shoutouts, Kudos, and polls, helping increase engagement and create a sense of community across the organization.
