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.
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?
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.
