We're often brought new challenges, and my first thought is always, ‘how can Rippling help us do this?’

Wavemakers challenge assumptions and find new solutions

I came into a company that was incredibly manual and Rippling has enabled me to turn that formerly manual process into a very fine-tuned machine.

Jess Hazlett

VP of People @ Endless West

Wavemakers share insights to empower their peers

I like to share data with our whole org of how the team is doing. When people can be like, ‘oh, everybody is actually saying that they're really happy here,’ it can really change the culture.

Meet the Wavemakers

Michelle
Colangelo

Senior People Manager @ Sibros Technologies

"Thanks to Rippling's flexibility, I was able to roll up my sleeves and set up individual time-off policies for each country. It has been a real journey of discovery, showing me how adaptable Rippling can be to meet our diverse operational needs"

Amanda Perry

Manager, People Operations & Systems @ Nuvologic Consulting

"I love automation! Rippling has made my payroll job a breeze and has given me opportunities to streamline other functions in the org."

Mario Silva

Director of People & Talent Strategy @ MyPlanAdvocate

"I’m a fan of the all-in-one features, like apps, whether it’s Rippling apps or third-party apps. This makes it easy and simple to use within one platform."

Jennifer Perea

People Business Partner

"Rippling is delightfully intuitive! With the Workflow Studio and Approvals apps, we were able to capture everything we need from a People Ops, Finance and Compliance perspective with just a few simple clicks from a manager."

Sara Wong

HR Generalist

"I love being able to provide reporting access to specific managers or departments. This empowers the individual to select, filter, etc., the data they need for their team, such as PTO usage or credit card spending."

Kathryn Lee

HR Manager @ Create Music Group

"I love how Rippling is always innovating to create a platform that integrates all aspects of HR in one central location. It makes my role managing HR for a fast-growing company with a small team much easier."

Em Spakauskas

Director of People Operation @ Sayari

"I love finding creative ways to utilize a software that everyone already has access to rather than paying for a new one or setting up a form through another system."

Emily Parker

People Operations @ Rebellion Defense

"I get asked for a lot of data in my role and the Rippling Reports feature is truly a huge timesaver. I'm easily able to pull information and present it in a way that is not only easy to understand but often exceeds my expectations."

Jess Hazlett

VP of People @ Endless West

"What really stands out for me is how Rippling allows us to harness technology to free up valuable time for our team, enabling us to focus on the core aspects of our business and, most importantly, our people."

Sarah Kulhanek

Senior People Operations Specialist @ Brightwheel

"I really like the all-in-one access to employee data, payroll, benefits, and account management/provisioning. It makes it super easy to find exactly what I'm looking for instead of needing to bounce between multiple softwares."

Cassandra Margolin

Head of People Operations @ Jasper

"I love that so many features exist in one platform. Instead of my tech stack consisting of (what felt like) a million tools, I have far fewer because of Rippling’s dynamic capabilities."

Kimberly Williams

VP of People @ Walker Advertising

"I truly believe Rippling’s workflows are not just life changing for companies but are changing the very fabric of HR."

Patty Kim

Head of People @ Vestwell

"Rippling’s reporting capabilities are really helpful because it empowers managers to make good decisions about their people management. It also helps me with analyzing trends."

Brendan Woodroff

Chief People Officer @ Chess.com

"I like the deep and broad automation and integration, supporting seamless changes across HR and IT during all stages of the employee lifecycle."

Nicole Stines

VP of People @ Talent to Team

"It's more common than not to find myself in positions where I'm being asked to do "more with less". With Rippling, I was able to lead 2.5x growth of company headcount in a single year, while doing so all with a three person team."

Maddy Hoepf

People & Culture Generalist @ Vouch Insurance

"I get a lot done with Rippling, like building out a robust new hire onboarding program, building people data reports to be used for analytics, and administering our benefits program."
