“Personio HRIS: A Comprehensive Tool Grappling With Usability Concerns”

3.0
Apr 22, 2024
Personio has the potential to be an amazing HRIS but the updates continue to make the tool less usable and the constant feedback is not being heard or fixed. It is an average tool, as it works, does the requestes, but it is not what we were hoping for.

Personio Likes & Dislikes

Like

- The platform is easy to use - All in 1 HR Solutions - The automations and reminders help us stay on top of things

Like

All in one tool - I like that the tool has the possibility to have all the information in one place and that each person can access depending on their role. Easy to use - although it is getting harder and more complicated to do some tasks, it is still easy to use. Workflows - it is not perfect but it is adding great value to the tool

Like

I like it because it is very intuitive. It also allows you to see the organization chart of the company and thus be able to contact other colleagues. It has now been updated and the hour tracking system has been improved.

Dislike

Playroll Flexibility is limited and not 100% adaptable to all markets/countries. Incorrect Salary reporting for Part-times Slack integration is significantly behind than other systems Performance is getting better but is still on a beginning phase Compensation modules need to improve, add a step for calibration from leadership and informing the TLs afterwords for example - we need to change the actual value from the manager proposal

Dislike

- The dashboard has recently changed and the general overview of the company is gone - so you can only see birthdays, absences and open workflows and requests are no longer available. - Linked-in job posts all come onsite - this is a huge deal breaker and has had a great negative impact on our recruitment process as a fully remote company. - Slack integration is very basic, absence is confusing and there is no live update on the channel - also requests are not possible to reply from slack. There are a few other notes, but those are the most important ones

Dislike

I like everything. I don't see any faults or drawbacks.
