The name started with our sister company, Bernard Health, which was inspired by the St. Bernard dog breed. Bernie is our colloquial take on Bernard, while Portal reflects our vision for a modern, digital way to manage HR and benefits.
St. Bernards have a long history as rescue dogs, helping people find their way through difficult and dangerous terrain. HR and benefits can feel like pretty rough terrain, but our goal has always been to be the most trusted provider of the highest-value HR tools and resources that help employers provide good places to work.
We hate to break it to you, but no. Bernie is a spirit mascot, not a real dog. But if you have a Bernie at home, we’ll gladly adopt them into the BerniePortal family.
