Artificial intelligence on the rise: How will this affect HR? 🔦Blog

Dear Community,"What means? How does? Name? What do I need to look out for when?" All of these are questions that artificial intelligence (AI) programs like ChatGPT can answer. The popular chatbot ChatGPT can engage in human-like conversations and answer (simple and complex) questions within seconds, write entire paragraphs of text and even code a website from scratch. 1️⃣ What is ChatGPT?“ChatGPT is a model developed by the US company OpenAI. Through the deployment of AI systems it interacts in a conversational way so that it can follow instructions and give detailed responses. The dialog-based exchange allows the program to ask follow-up questions, to admit errors, to question false premises, and to reject inappropriate requests.” - OpenAI 2️⃣ Can HR benefit from this?HR professionals can leverage artificial intelligence programs and thereby create advantages in their day to day work. Among other things it is possible to… ✍️ Write HR documents such as termination letters or applicati

🌊 New wave of employees: Gen Z and their influence on HRBlog

Dear Community,With every new generation, the ideas and expectations towards employers evolve. For baby boomers, statistics show that a stable job and a fixed income are what matter the most. Millennials, on the other hand, seem to value work-life balance more than anything.Little by little, the next generation of employees is entering the workforce, Generation Z. But how will this influence the HR world? 👀 💡Definition: Generation ZGeneration Z, also Gen Z, refers to the population group born from 1996 to 2009. (cf. Statista) Due to the differences between several sources, the exact time period is still uncertain. However, this generation is referred to as "Post-Millennials", i.e. they are born after the Millennials. Generation Z as the next generation of employeesDigital Natives As a generation that has grown up in the age of digitalization, digital media is simply part of their everyday lives.

💰 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?

Internal communication - what is it all about? ✍️Discussion

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? Do you have regulated processes and instruments that you use to communicate information? 🗣️ 😇 We’ll cover the first questions about internal communication in advance:1️⃣ What does "internal communication" actually mean?Internal communication is a corporate communication tool. It uses clearly defined media and communication channels to convey relevant messages and ensures communication between organisational management and staff. At best, the company's goals are communicated through this organised exchange of information. In addition to formal communication - i.e. the official channels used by a company - informal communication is also a component of internal communication, also known as “corridor talk” or in-house communication.2️⃣ What kind of internal communication in

🤔 Employee feedback - now what?Blog

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. For instance, they can be used for:💯 Performance and feedback🚨 Satisfaction and early warning system👍 Opportunities for improvement Employee engagement surveys not only show that you care, but they can also be helpful for strategies, policies, and help HR with future challenges. If the surveys add so much value for employees and companies, why do employees often get the feeling that their answers are not acted upon or become less important?"What" happens after such questioning is an indication of whether or not respondents feel understood.

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

HR Trends 2022: The 5 Items You Need On Your Agenda

When it comes to the world of HR, what’s on the docket for the year ahead? 2021 was full of twists and turns, and 2022 will likely be no different -- but one thing is for certain: the prominence that HR gained during the pandemic, in driving strategy and resilience, is here to stay. We asked Personio’s Chief People Officer, Ross Seychell, what he sees as some of the major topics that are going to carry over into the New Year. We hope you enjoy! In my opinion, 2021 was the year where HR professionals truly strengthened their role and led the charge on company success.

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

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.
