HR Work With a Future

Futurice was looking for an HR software that would support their goals and values as a partner. A detailed market and requirements analysis provided clarity and finally eight providers were shortlisted.

Flexibility was a non-negotiable requirement for the HR software because Futurice’s special corporate culture had to be visible at all times: input fields for employee data, for example, had to be customisable.

Futurice also wanted a web-based solution that would store information in the EU in compliance with data protection regulations, be available in English and enable integration with Futurice’s own and other tools. Personio not only met all criteria but was also recommended by colleagues from other companies. “And of course we also sought the feedback of our employees,” says Isabell. Personio emerged as the right solution.

“Now the cooperation in our global team works even better,” says Isabell. “With just one click, we can see where new people are starting and can retrieve important information independently – this makes mobility between locations easier and saves unnecessary emails."

Onboarding is also running more efficiently than ever. “We have many different onboarding processes – for employees who change location, for different jobs and teams. That’s why we created 20 different HR templates in Personio,” explains Isabell.

When it comes to diversity and inclusion, Personio provides support with flexible input fields in the digital personnel file. “We have high expectations of ourselves when it comes to diversity,” says Isabell. “With Personio, we can regularly evaluate how many women we employ in leadership roles."

The HR software also plays a role in their OKR 'Transparency to Diversity': Processes are transparent and employee data can be viewed by the right people depending on their access rights.

Futurice is a forward-looking company in an industry that requires digital and innovative work. “That’s why we are also very strategic in the personnel area and try to extract as much information as possible from our data,” explains Isabell. Reports and structured processes help here. “For example, based on the results of our exit interviews, which are conducted in the same way at all locations, we see where we can improve.

Transparency is a core value of Futurice. The most valuable thing for Isabell is therefore that she can use Personio to carry out efficient and transparent HR work. “We can now control onboarding across different departments, locations and even remotely. Document templates save us time that we can invest in strategic initiatives. Employees can track their salary history – and the preparatory payroll is now running quickly and smoothly."
