🪄✨ Demystifying Personio Terms: Your New Essential GlossaryGlossary

Hi Community,Have you ever wondered what a “workflow” or an “accrual policy” means in Personio?We understand that a wide range of terminology is used within the Personio universe.

Some terms are used across our various channels that you may be unfamiliar with. We want to cut down on confusion as much as possible. This is why we are happy to share a new glossary of terms, available in our Help Center. With this resource, you can quickly search for a Personio term that you’re unsure of and find a short definition. 💪 Psst… As well as our new glossary for all things Personio, we also have a dedicated HR Glossary of common HR terminologies and useful content. 💡 Help Us Demystify Personio Terms As someone who uses Personio regularly, you know best the terms that can trip you up.

Saying Goodbye to an Incredible Journey 💛

Dear Community,After five unforgettable years at Personio, the time has come for me to open a new chapter in my life. Saying goodbye is incredibly hard, as this Community has been so much more than just a project – it has been a heartfelt passion of mine.Together with my wonderful team, I had the privilege of launching the German Community in 2020 and building it with passion and dedication. A year later, we followed up by creating this wonderful English-speaking Community from the ground up. Over the past two years, I also had the honour of leading the Community team – a role that not only challenged me professionally, but also enriched me personally. I am especially proud of my incredible team: ​@Lena, ​@Daniele, ​@Melissa, ​@Lina.Jung, ​@Lucie B, ​@Moe. With your creativity and dedication, you have made and will continue to make this Community truly special. None of this would have been possible without you – thank you for your trust and your passion! 🫶And I know you’ll be in great
