Personio Unveils a New Era with Major Product Updates to Promote Meaningful Work

Celebrating 10 years as Europe's trusted HR software leader for small and mid-sized businesses, Personio unveils new platform features and a new brand identity

Munich, April 3, 2025 – Personio, Europe’s leading HR software provider for small and mid-sized businesses, announces a new era of Personio with significant product updates designed to help HR teams drive meaningful work. The enhancements, developed based on insights from some of Personio's 15,000 European customers, focus on optimising workflows for employees and HR teams through innovative tools and comprehensive data insights. The product announcements come as Personio celebrates its 10th anniversary with a new brand identity to elevate customer experiences.  Maria Angelidou-Smith, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Personio, comments on the new updates, “Customers are at the heart of everything we do and we have spent months diving into what can help HR teams get the most out of their work. Personio’s new user experience captures all of this learning. We have made time management workflows more intuitive and helpful. We’ve revamped analytics and added AI assistance to enable fast command of key metrics. And we’ve given HR teams the ability to truly make Personio look and feel like their own, reflecting each of our customers’ unique brand and culture.”

The updated platform centres around three core principles to drive meaningful work:

Driving Data-Backed Confidence for HR Leaders

In today’s working environment, data plays a critical role in enabling HR leaders to make fast, effective and strategic decisions. Personio’s new metrics page is designed to boost confidence and credibility within HR teams by providing tailored insights right at their fingertips. With the ability to integrate data from across the organisation, HR teams gain insights and information from five key areas: headcount, retention, compensation, time off and demographics. HR teams can also utilise new templates for recruiting and compensation analysis. 

This enhanced clarity enables teams to make well-informed, data-driven decisions with greater accuracy and efficiency, igniting trust and confidence among stakeholders and leadership. 

The AI-powered Personio Assistant allows HR teams to effortlessly ask questions about people data and receive answers in real-time, enabling them to come to better decisions faster. HR teams can now generate reports, identify trends, and access critical information with unprecedented speed and accuracy, allowing them to focus on actionable insights rather than manual data pulling.     

Fostering Connection and Belonging Across the Organisation

The new home experience combines a modern user interface with enhanced personalisation capabilities for both HR teams and employees. Home widgets can be customised to provide easier access to the most used tools like time tracking, company shortcuts, workforce overview, payslips, and more. This helps employees and HR teams optimise their day for what is most relevant for their company and as individuals, right in their flow of work.

Personio's new customisable theming enables organisations to integrate their unique brand identity throughout the platform with consistent colours, wallpapers and imagery. This level of personalisation helps to create a sense of belonging among employees by embedding the distinctive culture and values of their organisation into the tools they utilise daily, which is particularly valuable for hybrid and remote teams to feel connected. 

Enhancing Productivity for All Employees

With a real-time view into availability and scheduled absences, managers can now plan projects and allocate resources more efficiently via the new team calendar. With greater visibility into your team’s time off, working days and public holidays, managers can better plan for team capacity while supporting employees in maintaining healthy work-life boundaries, leading to sustained productivity and increased job satisfaction across the organisation.

Additionally, the new time-off process provides greater visibility into time off requests for individuals and teams. Individuals can now view their vacation days instantly and get a clear view of how they overlap with the rest of their team to help identify challenges and plan for cover.

Hanno Renner, Co-founder and CEO of Personio, said, "The latest evolution of our Intelligent HR Platform reflects our dedication to delivering effective, innovative solutions for businesses. These launches will enhance organisational operations and foster dynamic company cultures. As we mark our 10th anniversary, Personio’s next era features a new look, a new user experience, and new ways to equip our customers with the tools and insights they need to drive meaningful work for their organisations.”

These features are available now on the Personio platform. For a detailed overview of what’s new with Personio including product demo videos, please visit the website at https://www.personio.com/product/core/.
