An Employee Engagement Software Customer: The IBEX Herd
“The reason I wore only my underwear to work [(on the outside of pants, folks)] was to make the point that it is time for IBEX to let it all hang out.”
A comprehensive payroll SaaS? TribeHR says, “Yes, please!”
IBEX is one of Canada’s hidden gems. In a nutshell, IBEX provides online payroll to Canadian organizations. IBEX understands that paying employees on time, while keeping the government and accountants happy, should be fast, accessible and easy. And they've made it happen so that it's easy to synchronize IBEX with other personnel management tools!
Furthermore, as far as work environments go, IBEX is top notch!
The IBEX workplace features a fun and engaging culture that is literally unlike any other: a place where people take their work seriously, but not themselves. Managers at IBEX are called "Grumpy Goats," and marketing is called "spreading the herd word." "Herd geeks" (IT folks) roam the office, where they're likely to run into the "Head Feed Counter" (Controller). IBEX is already one of the best places to work in Manitoba, and their goal is to be the best place to work in Canada!
When not helping customers use the best SaaS payroll system in Canada, the IBEX herd splits its time between raising funds for Habitat for Humanity, cleaning up forgotten green spaces, and building community relationships (even bringing in their new babies to show off to the team!) all while improving their product, and becoming a strong, emerging player in the Canadian payroll market.
The IBEX Herd celebrates the return of NHL hockey to Winnipeg.
The center of the HR world at IBEX is 1-on-1 coaching sessions that each Grumpy Goat has with each member of their team, every six weeks. Making sure these happen on time and that the goals that come out of them are taken seriously is an absolute must for IBEX. Using TribeHR, IBEX has adapted their notes, reviews, and goals, to make this process completely transparent.
IBEX will continue to build an environment where Herd members celebrate individual and group successes; where people will meet and exceed goals set between them and their Grumpy Goat, and where management will respond to feedback from their team about how they can be better. Above all, IBEX will continue to foster an open and crazy-fun culture that's filled with respect for customers and each other.
“ … [our] spirit is based upon everyone being equal as people and everyone wanting to have fun at work, while still working hard.”
