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

I love the fact that the company is constantly innovating and finding ways to improve the current services, as well as new add-ons that can add value and optimise internal processes.

Like

Die Funktion der Abwesenheitsplanung mit Vertretungsanfragen ist sehr nützlich. Dazu bietet Personio eine Integration zum Google Kalender, weshalb Mitarbeitern die Abwesenheiten und Vertretungen bei Bedarf im Kalender sichtbar gemacht werden können.

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

Sometimes the features/settings are too restrictive and not adjustable to the specific needs of the company.

Dislike

Die Benutzeroberfläche von Personio ist nicht wirklich intuitiv. Oftmals muss man sich länger seitlich über die Leiste navigieren, weil nicht ganz klar ist, wo welche Sub-Pages zu finden sind.
