Dear Community, We are excited to share our new Whistleblowing course in the Voyager Academy with you. With the upcoming deadline for the EU whistleblowing directive, this new course has been designed to help you implement whistleblowing digitally with Personio.  What’s the EU Whistleblower Directive?In late 2019, the EU issued a directive on the protection of Whistleblowers. It mandated that all EU Member States offer a channel for employees (and non-employees) to report organisational wrongdoings. The directive applies to companies with more than 50 employees, public sector institutions, authorities, as well as municipalities with 10,000 or more inhabitants. In terms of timelines, companies with 250 or more employees  must comply within two years of the directive while companies with 50 to 250 employees must comply within four years (latest 17 December 2023). Personio WhistleblowingWith Personio Whistleblowing your organisations can manage such cases in one place using a digital port

Hi Community, 🩵 😮‍💨 Ever feel like you can't escape the talk about artificial intelligence (AI)? The buzzword might be everywhere, but we’re starting to see how it can be a real game-changer for HR teams — and we’ve created a whitepaper to guide HR professionals through the process of preparing for, and implementing, AI in their work.  ✨ We’ve gathered data from a survey of 1500 HR decision-makers and interviewed AI experts to provide actionable tips and advice for implementing AI successfully in your HR team. ✨ 📊 One of the most striking results we found was that while 93% of HR managers already using AI tools expect to see (or are already seeing) cost savings due to AI, only 63% are officially forecasting those savings — and 30% of HR managers aren’t using any sort of AI in their work at all.  🚀 That’s a huge opportunity gap, and one we’re hoping to help close with our whitepaper. What you need to know🤖 AI can truly be valuable and help every HR professional to succeed in their
