Editing Calendar Invites for Interviewers

Hello,1 year ago the question "How can I edit the calendar invite that interviewers receive?" was raised by @Dulcie and basically was informed that this is not possible to be done and asked to be raised on the ideation area.Was this raised there?After 1 year, was there any update on the product?I am concluding my calendar integrations at this point but the fact I cannot edit the invites that go for interviewers is just super poor. My interviewers are used to get rich context (text and links) before interviews are done in order to better prepare for them.Look forward to some direction and when can we expect get this feature implemented on Personio Recruit.Cheers,Fre

People Analytics: Be Confident in Your Decision Making! 🙏🎯Blog

Hi Community,Making data-based decisions is something that your marketing or sales team, for example, already does, so why not HR too? When you hear data + HR, the term “People Analytics” pops up immediately."How are salaries actually developing in the sales department? What is the current fluctuation rate compared to the last quarter?" - Questions that can be looked at more closely with People Analytics.  But, What Does “People Analytics” Actually Mean?People Analytics is the data-driven approach to optimising your people processes. It’s about gathering data, analysing it, and turning it into actionable steps that you can take to better recruit, manage, onboard, and develop your people. Essentially, what we’re getting away from is the gut feeling that sometimes powered organizations of the past. Instead, relying on quantitative data (as well as qualitative insight) to holistically analyze your people and what makes them perform at their best. - HR Lexicon Why “People Analytics”?The fu

Increase customer acquisition for my start up business

I recently hired a Sales Executive who, after 3 months, was unable to book a single appointment. As a result, I extended his probation period, but he ultimately resigned due to needing to focus on his side business. I am now in need of finding a new sales person to kickstart the business. Does anyone in the network have any advice on the best way to acquire our first customer?

The Indispensability of Women in HR: A Tribute to International Women's Day 💜International Women's Day

Dear Community,On this International Women's Day, we want to shine a special spotlight on the remarkable contributions of women in the field of Human Resources (HR). Their role is not only crucial for the success of organisations, but also for promoting a fairer and more inclusive work environment.Women play a pivotal role in the HR department as drivers of transformative policies and inclusive workplaces. In the UK, over 70% of employees in the HR sector are female. With their empathy and intuition, they shape harmonious work environments and understand the needs of employees. They actively promote diversity and inclusion, advocate for equal opportunities, and serve as role models for gender equality. Moreover, they identify and nurture talent, laying the groundwork for a generation of strong leaders.Of course, we don't forget the valuable contributions of male colleagues in HR. Today, however, we want to focus particularly on the extraordinary achievements and influence of women in t

How to Get More of That “Wellbeing” in Employee Wellbeing? 😊💡Blog

Hi there Community, 👋we welcome the new week and the beginning of March with one of the most important topics, and that is employee wellbeing. We all know that when you feel "well", depending on the definition, you simply feel healthier, you feel more productive, you have more energy and much more. It is therefore all the more important for companies and HR to promote precisely this. The scope for this varies from company to company.Sounds great right, but how do you get more of that “wellbeing”?Now, before we dive into the discussion, let's first define the multi-layered term "wellbeing" in more detail. One approach to understanding the aspects of wellbeing is to divide wellbeing into different 'pillars'. This can include mental, physical, financial and social wellbeing. Let's take a closer look at each of these areas, how they impact the work environment and create a foundation for employee wellbeing. 🧠 Mental WellbeingNurturing or promoting mental wellbeing in the workplace is ess

🌟 Mental Health Awareness Day: Supporting HR Professionals 🌟Blog

 Hi Community and Happy Monday! ✨ 🩵 As we stand on the brink of World Mental Health Day tomorrow 10th of October, I'm compelled to address an issue that remains one of the most critical challenges faced by HR professionals.HR professionals are the unsung heroes of any organization. They hold the delicate responsibility of safeguarding employee well-being, nurturing performance, and fostering development. Yet, beneath this noble task lies a world of challenges and stressors, from the daily concerns of employee well-being to the arduous task of navigating difficult conversations.It has been a truly eye-opening experience for me to engage with HR experts through our Personio events. They've shared their tales of navigating through uncomfortable situations, from the heart-wrenching task of announcing layoffs to managing the most extreme cases of burnout. 🫶🏻Mental health is a common struggle that we all have (and will) faced. From the common strains of stress and anxiety to the more form

Valentine's Day Special: Let's talk about love & your job 💌💼Valentine's Day

Hi Community,Today on February 14, we are celebrating Valentine's Day and would like to take a look at the many facets of love with you.

🍋 Feeling the Squeeze: HR Leaders Under PressureCommunity Discussion

 Hi Community,  🫶🏻 How are you preventing burnouts and keep a positive attitude in your professional life?🫶🏻 💬 Let’s discuss about pressure and demand in your day to day work life. A recent study by Barnett Waddingham reveals a startling reality: 28% of HR professionals feel overwhelmed by the multitude of demands on their time. With 22% reporting high stress levels and 17% struggling to keep pace with rapid changes in the workplace, it's clear that HR's role has become more challenging post-pandemic. Pete Cooper of Personio highlights an important issue: despite HR's critical contributions during the pandemic, many teams are not receiving the recognition they deserve. Overburdened with current tasks, they find little time to prepare for future challenges, leading to a feeling of always playing catch-up. Julia Turney from Barnett Waddingham points out the importance of employee voices but emphasizes the need for C-suite support to meet these demands. She advocates for a data-drive

Dear Community,On the 5th stop of our voyage around the world, we discover the continent of 📍Asia! Asia's economy has experienced enormous growth since the early 2000s.

💥 HR discussion: What factors do you think influence the success of remote work?North America

Good morning Community,Today is the official start of our End-of-Year campaign! The first stop on our voyage around the world is North America. 🚀In the past few years, the North American labor market has changed significantly. Digitalisation and technological advances have transformed not only how we work, but also where we work.In terms of "where", a particular trend has emerged in North America. The concept of remote work has become a widespread practice in the modern workplace, and more and more companies are implementing it effectively. Even after the peak during the pandemic, many companies have continued with this concept and recognised its benefits, to the point that it is now a must-have for some organisations and employees. 💡 Last year, a 25% increase in remote work was forecasted in North America. It was also predicted that this trend will continue beyond 2023. (Source)🤝 From a global perspective, North America and Europe are similar in terms of remote work. The proportion
