Hi,

 

We added a few questions to employee information area that we want answers for from all the existing employees. The existing employees are not going through onboarding phase, therefore, the tasks triggered by the onboarding flow is not the option here. Is there any other way how could we assign a task for all employees to update the new questions in the employee information area?

Hey! 

 

So you wouldn’t be able to assign the attribute to be completed in the same way that you would in an onboarding workflow. 

 

You could assign a ‘task’ through the automations section of Personio, which employees would need to physically tick off in the system, although they would be able to tick it without actually having completed the section.

 

To do this, you would just need to add a temporary attribute that you can change, using an upload, to trigger the workflow and assign it to everyone and then you can remove this attribute after the workflows have been triggered. 

 

Otherwise, it would just be a case of sending an email to employees letting them know they need to complete it and monitoring completion through reporting. 

 

I hope this helps!

Hi Zoe,

 

Thanks for your reply. Could you tell me a bit in more detail how to add a temporary attribute and trigger its workflow? Also, I don’t need to upload anything in articular, I just want to assign a task to everyone.


Hi @EgleB,

If the employees no longer have the Onboarding status but the Active status, when a change is made to the onboarding template this will unfortunately not trigger an update.
As Workaround is to assign again the onboarding template in the profiles of the employees, but please be aware that when this is reassigned all onboarding taks will show again as pending.

I assume that the attributes that the employees have to fill in are existing attributes, a possibility is to create a workflow for you to receive an notification when an attribute has been updated.


This you can do by going to Automations > Create Workflow > Start from scratch > Event in Personio > An employee is updated > Add conditions: select here for what attributes you would like to receive a notification in case this attribute has been filled in > Add > Notification: Select here who should receive te notification in case the employees updated this attribute.
 


Here you will find more information regarding: Create workflows.

I would encourage you to send this idea/feedback/suggestion through the new ‘Give feedback’ feature directly in your Personio account. Submissions will be forwarded directly to the relevant product teams. You can find more information in this community post.

If there is an update in this area, you will be informed through our Personio Product Updates or via an in-app notification.

Have a lovely day!

Best,

Sofia
