A new central inbox to deliver the work HR team’s love
Ever logged in for your work day and felt immediately overwhelmed by the mountain of tasks awaiting your review and response? We know that an avalanche of HR-related tasks is no way to start your day – or to focus on the work that truly excites you.
That’s why we want to introduce you to Personio’s new central inbox experience. Designed to help you minimize the noise and focus on the right things at the right time. Let us tell you a bit more about how we built it and how it can benefit your teams…
A great inbox is key to a great day’s work
Our newly-redesigned inbox streamlines the constant flow of work items, such as tasks, approvals, and notifications. All of the things that teams deal with every single day, clearly placed into a prioritised list to help you take action on them. All in a few clicks.
That’s because we know the significant amount of time that it can take to complete the wide range of work that HR teams and managers face every day. Whether that includes:
Approving overtime
Review absence requests
Providing team feedback
And much more…
Our latest research found that 1.5 million tasks are completed within Personio every single month. And that it can take anywhere between three to nine days, on average, for an employee’s request to be approved by their managers.
Pro Tip: Over 90% of these requests can be auto-approved by setting up your very own attendance approval workflows – which can serve as a great start into the world of automation.
While these kinds of numbers might seem daunting, they represent essential people processes that help organisations run efficiently. The kind of efficiency that is not only better for the bottom line, but for the experience of every employee, too.
Focus on the right things at the right times
Right from the helpful inbox widget, you can swiftly action tasks from your homepage or click into a new full-screen experience to review critical details and go a step deeper (without needing to navigate anywhere else).
Whether it’s reviewing vacation balances for time-off, ensuring certificates are uploaded when approving sick leave requests, or monitoring any issues with attendance when approving time tracking logs. You’ll have all of the details you need, right where you need them.
A collection of helpful additional features
How much of your inbox is currently chaotic? We’ve rolled out a host of new features to help keep your tasks organised, including new sorting and filtering tools which you can use to find items that you need with ease.
In addition, new bulk actions from within your inbox allow you to review and approve multiple tasks at once. Giving you time back to focus on more impactful projects.
Helping team manage HR tasks more effectively
As part of Personio’s own Intelligent HR Platform, we spend every day looking for new ways to deliver for our users and to make their work easier – so they can get back to the work that they love. Our new inbox is one part of that puzzle.
We want to help you redefine how your people processes are managed, sorted, and how they run. Removing the neverending list of tasks, and replacing it with smoother, clearer, and more easily automated ways to work. To learn more, visit our Help Center article here.
