The role of HR is always changing—and we're keeping a pulse on the industry, whether that's new trends or changing regulations that we should develop our features for.

That's why this quarter we're focused on announcements that bring you control, clarity, and help you achieve compliance. 

We have some big updates:

• Updated access rights that help you keep control over who sees what in your organisation
• Time & absence enhancements that give you clarity into how to manage long-term leaves and overnight time tracking within Personio
• Compliance-focused updates like our new Gender Pay Gap analytics template aligned to the EU Pay Transparency Directive
