Overview of the new Homepage experience

Our updated Homepage experience provides you with a preview of critical information. It also gives you the chance to explore further by clicking on other sections of Personio.

We have streamlined our Homepage to focus on you and your immediate team. To get more details about other members of your organization, you can visit their profiles or use other applications in Personio.

Time off widget

The My Absence widget is now the Time Off widget. You can view company holidays, your upcoming absences, and their statuses. You can also request absences with the new Request Absence button.

Inbox widget

The Inbox widget displays your top five approvals, tasks, and requests across Personio. You can also access any open requests here. It’s important to note that the Inbox widget only provides a preview of your entire inbox. You can see all your tasks by clicking View all.

If the approvals redesign has reached your account, your organization will notice a refreshed Inbox. You can directly action Time-related items, without moving to another part of the tool. When you click View all in the widget, review items individually or in bulk, and review all of its details by clicking on the item.

Your Team widget

Depending on your access rights, view birthdays, absences, remote work, and on- or off-boarding events for coworkers across your company. You can filter the events displayed by:

• Your Team
• Reporting line
• Everyone

To display other employee's birthdays, employees need access to Personal data > Public profile.

Recruiting widget

You can view up to three upcoming scheduled interviews for the day in the Recruiting widget. Click Join interview to attend interviews. To see a complete list of your scheduled interviews and candidate profiles, click the Recruiting widget.

Shortcuts widget

You can customize this section of the Homepage to access the information most relevant to your organization.

Announcements widget

Use the Announcements widget to display messages to all employees, for example an important company update. 

Discover widget

The Discover widget displays the latest products and services that could be useful to you. This widget might not always be visible on your homepage. We will show it only if we identify any relevant offerings. Within the widget, you can explore these further and register for our team to reach out to you. If something doesn’t interest you, select the three-dot icon and click Not interested.
