☕ Welcome to our new Community Café!

Dear Community,To help you connect on a personal level as well as discussing HR topics, we have added a new category to our Community Base that allows you to do just that! Welcome to our Community Café!In the Community Café, you can:😆 chat about things beyond Personio and HR: Introduce yourselves, find other members from the same region, industry, or with the same interests (Taylor Swift, soccer fans, book club enthusiasts, etc.). 🌱 share an exciting training or workshop with the community. 🔎 post about your job search: what sort of role you’re looking for and what you bring to the table. 🤝 post about a role you’re hiring for: you can find your next HR superstar in the community!As with the other forums on our platform, community rules apply. Job posts from recruitment agencies are also not intended for this area. It can sometimes be harder to draw the line in the Community Café. The basic principle is: A recommendation is valuable for other members. Advertising is not welcome. Bes

⚖️ Community Barometer - Feedback Cycle

Dear Community, As part of our ongoing conversations about workplace culture and processes, we’d love to hear your opinions and experiences today! 🌟One important topic that influences company culture is employee feedback discussions.

How to contact Personio to make a complaint

Hi How do you go about making a complaint - I’ve been sent round and round in circles and cannot get help.  At this stage I need to talk to someone but the Company doesn’t seem to have real people thanks

Lights, Traditions, and Memories: What Makes Christmas Magical for You? 🧑‍🎄

Hi Community,Today, I’m making my final stop on my journey through the Community – and what better place to end than in the Community Café? This is a space for casual conversations and fresh perspectives – perfect to talk about something close to my heart: the magic of Christmas! 🎄 As Community Holiday Elf, I’m always looking for magic and that little spark that gets people excited. Along the way, I’ve discovered something wonderful: Christmas magic is different for everyone. Sometimes it’s the beautiful lights and the lively atmosphere of a Christmas market. Other times, it’s the quiet, magical moments – a walk through the snow or the joy of giving someone a special gift.What makes Christmas ✨magical✨ for you?Share your memories, thoughts, or traditions of what makes the festive season special for you:What are the little things that bring you joy every year? Do you have a tradition that’s especially important to you? Is there a memory that stays with you every Christmas? Or maybe a c

Meet the Team: Lucie 👋

Do you sometimes wonder: Who are the people behind the profile pictures, who look after the forum and work behind the scenes? Over the past few weeks, the Community Team have introduced themselves. After Melissa, Mohamed, Daniele, Lina, Selina and Lena, I'm bringing up the rear today.You might already know me from the Community – but if not, here's a little introduction! I’m Lucie – the person on the right in the picture, which was taken at a workshop with our Community STARS. As the Operations Manager, a lot of my community work takes place behind the scenes. I deal with spam, compliance with our Community Guidelines and internal processes such as coordinating with other teams in Personio.Outside of work, I tend to be quite active: yoga, hiking, weight training, rowing and swimming. Sometimes also jogging, but only if I can’t help it. At home, I like to bake (German cakes and bread — I know — what a stereotype) and am constantly working to expand my small terrace vegetable garden. I’m

After that, I conducted Product Trainings before joining the Community Team 3.5 years ago. Initially, I was mostly responsible for moderation in the community. Today, I focus on fostering interactions between you, our members – whether within the community itself or at our in-person events. 🤝 At Personio: Since Dec 2019Favorite weekend activity: Hiking – preferably with a great view! 🌄Favorite Comfort Food or Go-To Recipe: My Go-To Recipe is simple oven Veggies with Avo and Sour Cream, Comfort Food: Anything with Chocolate Favorite Travel Experience or Dream Destination: Favorite Travel Experience, South Africa!

👋 Meet the team: Selina 🪸

Hi everyone,After @Melissa, @Daniele, @Lina.Jung, and @Moe, it's my turn to introduce myself to you today. 😊Since last week, I have been part of the Community team at Personio for five years and have had the pleasure of leading the Community team for over 1.5 years now. In addition to the four people mentioned above, my team also includes @Lucie B and @Lena. Besides leading the Community team, I am also part of the planning team for the HUG and I host our new German interview format, "Das Vorstellungsgespräch" (The Job Interview), where I interview HR & People leaders about their career paths and current topics in their respective HR fields. You can access it via our German Community here. Outside of work, I love to read, and I'm currently starting the Harry Potter series again. I also like to try my hand at creative projects, some of which I even hang up on my flat walls. And whenever I can, I love to travel and discover as much of the world as possible.🔍 A few facts about me:Pe

👋 Meet the Team: Lina 🌻

Hello dear Community,As you may have noticed over the past few weeks, we community managers are currently on a mission to introduce ourselves to you so that you can get a better picture of our team and get to know us all better. After the posts from @Daniele, @Melissa, and @Moe over the last few weeks, it’s now my turn – Hi 👋, I’m Lina.I’ve been a working student at Personio for just over a year – specifically in the Community Team 😊. I mainly work on the backend of the community and help wherever I can. If you were at the Munich HUG 2023, I might seem familiar to you, as I had the pleasure of meeting some of you there in person. A few facts about me:Studies: In addition to my work at Personio, I’m currently in my third semester of my Master's in Communication in Munich and live there in a shared apartment with my best friend. Personio age: I’ve been here since July 2023, so just over a year. Favorite vacation: Last year, I spent four weeks in Mexico with a friend – it was absolutely

What keeps you motivated?

Hello everyone! 😀As we all continue to enjoy some much-needed vacation time (yes, lounging around the house counts), it’s hard not to get a bit reflective.You know those moments in between hanging out with friends or waiting on that flight to a holiday you’ve been soooo excited about - when you just can’t help but get a bit “I wonder...” about things? Well, while waiting on a train here in London, I had one of those pesky moments.I wondered, “what keeps me motivated at work?” This is an increasingly important question facing both employers and the employees they’re trying to retain. It’s reflected in the results of Personio’s Workforce Pulse, a study bringing together perspectives from 12,500 workers around the world.You can grab your copy here on August 28th to learn more about why retention is such a hot button issue right now (and why holding on to talented workers might be getting harder). Anyway, after some thinking, I realised that the friends I make at work are a high priority

Dear Community,Have you ever wondered: Who are the people behind the profile pictures, who look after the forum and work behind the scenes?  Over the next few weeks, we want to shed some light on this and introduce ourselves one by one. After Melissa and Mohamed, it's my turn today.How would my friends describe me? As an adventurous curly-haired person with an international background who always brings a good vibes to the room.It's a pleasure to introduce myself today! My highlight in my job is actually getting to know you personally and exchanging ideas with you, the members of our community! Especially at events such as the HUG and other meetups such as customer events, Community STAR Meetups, etc.I launched the speed networking format at HUG in 2021, and I still enjoy it the most.Have any of you been to speed networking? A few facts about me:At Personio since April 2021, so 3 and a half years. My role: I'm basically the administrator for the community platformand I'm responsible in

👋 Meet the Team: Sun, Beach and Melissa ☀️

With the steady growth of our Community, we think it's only right that we introduce ourselves personally! We have already met some of you at events such as the annual HUG or other onsite/ online events. But don't you sometimes wonder: Who are the people behind the profile pictures, who look after the forum and work behind the scenes? In the coming weeks, we want to shed some light on this and introduce ourselves one by one. Today we start with me, @Melissa (left person in the picture). Maybe you've already seen me in some formats such as the End-of-Year campaign? 🔍 👩‍💻 Melissa - Community ManagerWhy community?I need social interactions in my work, even if they take place online. The exchange with you in the community is essential for me - I believe that we as humans are dependent on community. This can be a local community, a community that has emerged from the same interest or an HR community. I am always amazed by the collective knowledge and what we can achieve together. I also l
