Dear Community,

When we first launched the Ideation area in the community, we couldn’t foresee how participation would evolve. Over the last 3 years, we have received a high volume of valuable contributions, and we want to thank you for those creative suggestions, solutions, and practical feedback. Your engagement is important to us and has contributed significantly to improving and evolving our products in ways that we hope has made your day-to-day work a little easier. 

 

Revision of Ideation and the ‘give feedback’ feature


As our community has continued to grow and flourish, so has the volume of ideas and feedback you’ve shared with us. We recognize that with the increased number of submissions, it has become more challenging to fully address and update the community on each contribution. To better honor your valuable feedback and ensure it continues to help shape our product development, we’ve decided to upgrade our existing feedback collection system with an improved approach that more closely aligns with your daily work within Personio and our product teams’ workflows. This will allow your insights to make an even bigger impact on the future of the product. 


What you can expect


We have released a ‘give feedback’ feature, through which you can directly share your feedback and ideas while working within Personio. Your contributions are then routed to the right teams. 

You can find the ‘give feedback’ feature in the left menu in Personio:

 

Starting on September 1st, new Ideation posts in the Community are disabled because Product Managers are receiving the ideas and feedback submitted through the ‘give feedback’ feature instead. From September 10th onwards, when you attempt to access ideas you will be redirected to this announcement post.


Moving forward, the ‘give feedback’ feature is how you can share your feedback and ideas with us year round. Existing ideas previously shared through Ideation have already been carefully captured and translated into the new system, where they will continue to shape and refine our products.

 

Ideation Hackathons


We are also planning to host Ideation Hackathons. These hackathons will be exciting opportunities to co-create with our Design and Product Management teams and facilitate a deeper discussion about the top ideas submitted via the ‘give feedback’ feature. This collaboration will help shape new innovative solutions, and we’re excited about partnering with you on that!

While we have a plan regarding what these Hackathons could look like in practice, we want to include you in this process and will be inviting a group of community members to help us finalize the design and function of the hackathons in the coming months. We are really looking forward to these more in-depth events and plan to share more information with you as we get closer to the first event. 


Staying Informed 


In addition to improving how we route your feedback and ideas to product teams, we also want to make sure you can stay informed about what we are currently developing and thinking about. As part of this effort, we will begin hosting ‘What’s new with Personio’ webinars to give sneak peeks into upcoming and current product releases. If you’re interested in joining our first event, you are invited to sign up here!
 

We look forward to continuing this work together!
 

Sincerely, 
Your Community & Product Teams

This feels like a way to hide what was a big list of very high in demand Feature Requests from the Community.

As the requests are no longer visible it’s hard to upvote similar ideas..

That being said please seek to include me in Hackathons.
The reporting module needs rapid improvement.
Lacking the ability to filter by ‘AND’ or ‘OR’ statements is causing great challenge.

Hi @JHBEM, 

thank you for sharing your thoughts and initial feedback.

We have given a lot of thought to how we can improve the current process and incorporate what we have learned from the last 3 years. It is true that upvoting will no longer take place for the time being, and that similar ideas may be shared by different users. However, the new system allows our product teams to better filter and sort ideas thematically. In addition, the feedback function will now also be accessible to Personio users who may not yet be part of the community. And you can submit feedback directly while you are working in the tool.

Please rest assured that the existing ideas have been transferred into the new system and are reaching the relevant teams in Personio.

I’m glad to hear you’re excited to participate in the Hackathons, it will be a good way to go deeper into those important topics and collaborate directly with product teams.


Best wishes,
Lucie

 

THanks @Lucie B for the quick response.

 

I do understand there is no perfect solution so I hope to that being able to get involved more in the prioritisation etc. will help.

 

I did ask about being part of the Advisory Board - to help bring a more UK element to it.
