Personio

Due to the ever-evolving tech market and general economic unpredictability, businesses worldwide are taking precautions, but one industry that has proven resilient is HR. This sector has stayed upbeat while the ‘great resignation’ appears to be slowing down.

Economic instability is not a barrier for Hanno Renner, CEO, and Co-Founder of German HR software start up Personio. Instead, it serves as a motivating factor for reinstating the necessity of improving a company’s employee experience management. Personio, an HR software company headquartered in Munich, was established in 2015. It is one of the most valuable European start-ups that develop an all in-one platform for payroll, recruiting, and human resources. It serves small and medium-sized organizations.

With 10 to 2,000 employees, Personio is the people operating system for small and medium-sized businesses. With offices in Munich, London, Madrid, Dublin, Berlin, Barcelona, and Amsterdam, Personio’s goal is to make HR procedures as effective and efficient as possible. Payroll, recruiting, talent management, and human resources management are all included in Personio’s all-inclusive HR software. The company helps more than 7,000 customers in Europe eliminate delays and take advantage of possibilities with People Workflow Automation.

The first offering, Personio Conversations, is a solution for managing workplace requests that give human resources staff a single location to organize and handle employee requests, such as inquiries regarding payroll, IT equipment, onboarding, or even travel. Employees may submit these requests using the communication channels they are most comfortable with owing to conversations’ integration with Slack and Microsoft Teams, two popular workplace communication tools.

Personio also unveiled Custom Workflows, another brand-new product that enables the development of automated workflows to cut down on manual operations.

As a solution, the product offering gives Personio users a chance to design even more unique and distinctive processes tailored to their needs.

The company’s CEO believes that Personio focuses on the “bread and butter” issues of enterprise human resource management. What distinguishes it from other players in the field is its comprehensive coverage of all the fundamental demands of employees.

The company is one of the few players that offer services for the whole employee lifecycle, from hiring and onboarding to truly helping businesses with absences, leave, time tracking, and payroll while emphasizing employee development.

In 2015, Hanno Renner, Roman Schumacher, Arseniy Vershinin, and Ignaz Forstmeier founded Personio. Later, Jonas Rieke joined the organization. The Center for Digital Technology & Management (CDTM) in Munich is where the founding team first met.

The core components of Personio’s products and services are data protection and information security. Data security and gaining customers’ trust are crucial to the business. Personio has adopted and continued to improve technical and organizational measures to ensure secure information processing.

The business’s procedures are based on the EU GDPR’s legislative framework, as well as common standards and recommendations like ISO/IEC 27001 and the German Federal Office for Information Security’s (“IT Grundschutz”) core principles of IT protection (BSI).

In addition, the business has pledged to give 1% of its equity to a nonprofit organization, which will be held until an IPO. In 2021, the firm established Personio Foundation to assist organizations that promote positive change for people and the world as the company strives to tackle the most urgent concerns facing the present generation.
