Transform 2026: Readings & Resources from HiBob

Too often, great people initiatives stall because they’re framed as programs, not business cases. HR talks engagement. Finance talks margin, risk, and predictability. Without a shared narrative, even high-impact ideas struggle to get traction. The goal isn’t just better reporting. It’s better decision-making - with HR and Finance operating as true partners in driving growth, margin protection, and long-term resilience. If you’re working at the intersection of HR, Finance, and digital transformation, these resources are for you. Thank you to everyone who joined or plans to join us at Transform!

The Stitching Tax

❓❓❓ Want to know what's quietly shaping promotions, pay, hiring, and performance every day? ❓❓❓ It's something called "The Stitching Tax" and almost every company is paying it. 📊 Managers weren’t hired to reconcile spreadsheets.📊 But every day they: • chase HR data • verify finance numbers • sanity-check headcount • make decisions anyway If you manage people, this probably feels familiar. When HR and Finance don’t connect, managers fill gaps themselves. Where do you spend the most “stitching” time? 🔗 Learn more in our in-depth report on HR and Finance data fragmentation, here: https://www.hibob.com/guides/hr-finance-data-fragmentation/

People Proud Podcast Episode 2 is live!

AI in HR As AI shapes the world of work, HR and other business leaders are being forced to answer a difficult question: Are we using AI to simply do things faster or to fundamentally do things better? This episode of HiBob’s People Proud podcast cuts through the hype and zeroes in on what actually matters when it comes to AI in HR. The conclusion was clear: AI’s role isn’t to replace people. It’s to strengthen them. Kyle Lagunas , founder and principal analyst at Kyle & Co, joined HiBob’s Tali Sachs and Kenneth Matos to unpack why the familiar “do more with less” mindset is a trap—and how HR leaders can move beyond reactive AI adoption and use the technology as a force for resilience, credibility, and long-term talent advantage.
