This article refers only to the Personio Voyager Community. Visit the rest of our Help Center for information about the Personio product.
We have a fun ranking system to recognize your contributions to the Community!
What is a rank?
A rank is a system that rates members based on their activity within the Community.
When you first join, you start as a Newbie. This is just the beginning of many exciting ranks you can achieve.
Oh, and badges! You can earn badges through your activities in the community. For example, by starting new threads, providing many answers that are marked as correct, and so on.
But we also want to reward you with badges for activities outside the Community platform. For example, by participating in Personio Beta tests, sharing best practices, working with you as a reference customer, and much more.
There are several categories in which you can earn badges, for example, Correct Answers, Topic Starter, Commentator, Personio Beta Tester, Reference Customer, and many more.
How do I get a higher rank?
That’s an excellent question, with a fairly simple answer: by getting more involved in the Community!
You can earn higher ranks by replying to topics, posting new content, or having one of your comments marked as a correct answer. These are just a few ways to climb the ranks.
Tip
You can easily reach the second rank, Visitor, by posting your first comment. If you’re not sure what to post, you can introduce yourself here.
Are there any particular ranks I should be aware of?
You should look out for these two ranks: Community Admin and Community Moderator. These are Personio staff members who can answer your questions.
Another one to look out for is: CAB Member. This rank is reserved for our 14 Customer Advisory Board members. These are Personio users who work closely with our Product Experts to improve our software and tailor it to everyday HR needs.
What are badges?
In addition to the ranks, there are many colorful badges that you receive through certain activities in various areas.
You can see them when you hover over a username with your mouse or click on a profile. Badges are like insignia that represent your achievements in the community.
How do I get these badges?
You receive them through various activities, such as:
- Sharing comments and answering questions
- Bringing new ideas into Ideation
- Completing courses at our Voyager Academy
- Participating in various events
- Doing something good for your karma
- And much more!
And then there's the king of all badges: the Leaderboard Champion. This badge is awarded on Friday afternoons to the member who leads the leaderboard, meaning the one who has been particularly active that week.
A member has been particularly helpful to me, can I also award a badge?
Send us a private message with the link to the post, and we will see if we have a suitable badge in store.
I'm missing a badge on my profile!
No problem. Just contact the Community Team (e.g., @Moe) and we will take care of it.
Have fun climbing the ladder!
