About Ariglad | HR Help Desk

Empowering HR is our rallying cry

Ariglad was born after its Founder saw what can go wrong in a company that doesn't have data-driven HR insights. Ariglad comes from the Danish word 'arbejdsglade' which means 'happy at work'. After the name was chosen, our Turkish CTO & Co-Founder let the team know that 'Ari' in Turkish means 'bee'.

So, Ariglad literally means 'bee glad'!

Bees are one of the most underrated, badass & hardworking parts of nature. Without bees, the entire ecosystem falls apart. In other words, bees are kind of like HR.

We believe that its high time HR gets its own space to manage tickets and data so HR can focus on strategy that helps the whole hive... erm... workplace.

Ariglad's story

An HR movement was born

Co-Founder Sophie Wyne's first job out of college was a bit of a disaster as far as workplace culture goes. In fact, about 30% of the company quit at the same time to protest mismanagement.

As she moved on to work in the cybersecurity industry, Sophie worked with CIOs and IT Managers at Forbes 1000 companies to identify and mitigate risk. Thinking back to her first job she wondered - why wasn't there a tool like this for HR?

Our mission is clear

This story laid the foundation of what Ariglad is today. We take our mission seriously to empower HR while making workforces happier and more data-driven.

"Our team communicates primarily on Slack and so the fact they can create tickets just as easily as sending us a DM was a huge win. The Ariglad team focuses on a seamless user experience and it's reflected in the product."
