💰 Net wage - how to get the best out of it?Discussion

Dear Community,Inflation and recession have probably been the most frequently used terms in the last few months. Everyone has witnessed it, and everyone has experienced the effects first-hand. Increasing costs of living and taxation affect how much is left of the net wage at the end of the month. However, SMEs in particular, which are trying to keep their costs as low as possible due to the unstable economic future, cannot always offer a salary increase. You’re probably asking yourself what other alternatives are there. No need to look further, we got the perfect answer: “Net wage optimisation” 💡What does “Net wage optimisation” mean?With net wage optimisation, employees give up part of their gross wages, but in return receive additional benefits or allowances - which are, under certain conditions, tax-free. For the company itself, this form of benefit also means that there are no non-wage labour costs - which is advantageous for both parties, isn't it? 👍What can I do as an employer?

Dear Community,how do you stay up-to-date with what's going on in the company and other departments? E-mail, intranet or exchanges during the coffee break? ☕️What does internal communication look like in your company?

Dear Community,Who of you are familiar with the following questions:What is going well / not well in your daily work?What suggestions for improvement would you have for your lead or your team?What do you wish for in your role or in the company? All these questions (and more) are addressed in employee engagement surveys. The goals of such surveys can vary.

Recognition and Reward Strategy 'Think Tank'

A ‘Think Tank’ category dedicated to all things Remuneration, Recognition/Award, Reward, BenefitsThis is a ‘hot topic’ in HR/People at the moment with how we review someone’s Total Reward - not just their salary and ensure we are providing the support that they need to have a good overall Wellbeing. This is across Physical, Mental, Emotional and Financial.Remuneration - Basic Pay, BonusesRecognition - This is non-monetary, non-gift - something anyone can give to anyone else or in some cases nomination based Awards.Reward - These are the prizes, gifts, etc. that can come as a result of Recognition/Award. i.e. someone wins ‘Employee of the month’ then is rewarded with £50Benefits - These are things like enhanced Pension, Insurance, etc. Collectively this makes up someone’s Total Reward - which can often be quite different from one employer to the next - as some might offer higher Remuneration but few/no Benefits - the outcome being lower Total Reward (not higher as many might think).

HR Trends: Quiet Quitting what is it and how would you handle it?Blog

Quiet quitting is becoming a popular topic among the HR world. Different sources describe this term as doing exactly what you need in your job, nothing more and nothing less. This is contrary to the “go above and beyond” mentality, which is normally what allows you to develop within your working place. There are different theories about why employees are giving up to going the extra mile. One of them is the situation during the pandemic, in which mental health became a main topic, thus enhancing the importance of work-life balance. This phenomenon can bring new challenges for HR professionals: 💪🏼 It might be necessary to explore new ways to maintain employees motivated.💆🏻‍♀️ This might be an opportunity to prevent burn-outs, enhancing practices to maintain mental health among organizations. 📌 It might help to find better matches between employee and job offers, since employees are not willing to do a job they are not really motivated for.🤝 Furthermore, the importance of organiza

How will your company and your HR team be affected by a possible recession?

Hi Personio community! I'm Steffi and I work in product management at Personio, accountable for our Talent Management products. We are currently thinking ahead and are trying to shape our plans for 2023. I thought I’d ask you all for your combined brain power and your input. Specifically, we're wondering how the economic environment will affect our customers, that’s all of you, your needs and plans for next year. Specifically, the following topics are on our mind: Will there be an increased focus on cost savings? An increased need to monitor cost, and thus targeted reporting for this? Will there be less headcount growth and thus less recruiting needs? Will there be more focus on performance management, e.g. discovering low performers? How does inflation affect employee salaries? etc etcHow can Personio best support you during this period? What will be important to your company and your HR team in 2023?If you are also thinking about this and you want to share your thoughts, please post

Internationale Women's Day - What are your thoughts?

Dear Community, Today is International Women's Day! This year’s theme, #BreakTheBias, calls on us to imagine a gender-equal world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination.A world where differences are valued and celebrated and we are all equal. It also aims to overcome the prejudices that sometimes make it difficult for women in the working world. For example, there is the prejudice that women around 30 will soon become pregnant. Mothers are often accused of being "unpredictable" because the child is "constantly sick", and when the children are older, a woman is too old to still have a big career. The gender pay gap in the EU stands at 14.1% and has only changed minimally over the last decade. It means that women earn 14.1% on average less per hour than men (Source). 📢 Discuss:As HR Professionals, what challenges do you encounter with these demands? Do you celebrate this day during the year? What are your thoughts on it in general? And here's some history - how did Women's Day

How to drive great feedback?

Principles of great feedback Regular feedback is essential to keep us motivated, on track with our performance and to drive our development.How does it do this? Regular feedback can help us increase our levels of self-awareness and uncover any blind spots we may have about our own performance. Positive feedback is motivational; it reinforces the skills and behaviours that we do well and ensures that we continue to build on them. Developmental feedback can also be motivational; it enables us to see where we may have skill or behaviour gaps and inspires us to work out how to make the improvements. DO’s & DON'Ts when giving feedback PerceptionPeople won’t accept feedback if they don’t believe it to be true or accurate. If they don’t accept it, what’s the point? Why don’t they believe it to be true? Because they perceive the situation differently to you. We can be looking at the same thing as someone else and see something completely different.In order to avoid this from happening, yo

5 Ways People Workflow Automation is Changing the Future of HRBlog

You’ve likely heard about People Workflow Automation by now, but do you know about the wide-ranging consequences and how it’s going to shift the way we think about and accomplish HR work?

The 5 Metrics That Help Track Employee WellbeingBlog

At Personio, employee wellbeing was important to us well before the pandemic. With measures like yoga sessions and flexible working options, we emphasized supporting the health, satisfaction, and work-life balance of all our teams. And yet, Covid-19 still found a way to shake things up! It had us re-evaluate, adapt, and expand our previous measures. So, how did we come to these decisions? Was it based on gut feeling? Nope. Instead, we used data to make decisions to determine our initiatives. In this article, I want to share some insights into why employee wellbeing belongs on every HR team’s agenda, and how we measure the wellbeing of our employees here at Personio. – Cassandra Hoermann, People Experience Lead at Personio What ‘Employee Wellbeing’ Means At Personio Healthy teams equal healthy business. That said, the word “healthy” can be interpreted in many ways: It can be about satisfaction, mental and physical strength, balance, but also about the (emotional) connection that exist

Can we change the word "Employees" for " People"?

It will be great to change every “Employee” word to “People or similar”. I think Employees is a word that has been changed, and replaced for so many others. Also, this will make our account more useful for different kind of contracts. Example: If we have Freelance people working for us, we want be able to add them to the platform since there are some liability issues to have in mind.
