HiBob, the HR, payroll, and finance platform, has announced the global launch of In Good Company Chapters, a new initiative designed to bring HR professionals together in local, thoughtfully curated communities around the world. The chapters are locally led by HR leaders who volunteer to organize small, recurring gatherings in their cities, creating spaces for HR peers to have honest discussions, share insights, and build lasting relationships.

Why it matters

HR teams are at the center of rapid business change driven by AI and broader digital transformation. Their role is expanding beyond traditional responsibilities to help guide how companies evolve, starting with people. Many HR leaders are looking for more meaningful ways to connect, share insights, and navigate this shift, which the In Good Company Chapters aim to provide.

The details

In Good Company Chapters are designed to foster a more connected and collaborative HR ecosystem, bringing global ideas into local settings. The chapters are run by volunteer HR leaders who organize small, recurring gatherings in their cities, including roundtables, panels, informal meetups, and discussions. Supported by HiBob, these Chapter Leaders act as community builders, creating spaces focused on connection, learning, and shared experience.

What they’re saying

“In Good Company Chapters give HR leaders the opportunity to shape the conversations happening within their own communities. These are spaces where people can have real, meaningful in person discussions about the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of work particularly as organizations navigate the complexity of the AI era and look to harness its potential for their people and performance.”

— Sophie Chesters, Chief Marketing Officer at HiBob

“One thing we all learned post-pandemic was the importance of being part of a community. We all know it's 'lonely at the top,' but the loneliest role is that of an HR leader. With In Good Company, you're surrounded by HR peers, so you're never on your own.”

— Christine Song, Founder of 5 to 9 Society
