General Manager HR
The Challenge
Teufel not only stands for first-class sound – their passion for innovation is also a core value to the company. When Jannis Tsalikis joined the HR department in 2019 as the General Manager for HR, he found a digital-ready HR team.
“But the tools they were working with were slow, inflexible, and poor value for the money,” says Jannis. There was a different software for each task. “That’s why the data was distributed and had to be laboriously brought together for evaluation.“
Another challenge was keeping up with the strong growth in the teams: “2019 was a rocket year. In less than 12 months, we have increased our workforce by 50%”, says Jannis. To provide the company with the best possible support during this phase, HR needed an innovation boost.
“When I came to Teufel, the decision for Personio had already been made. I gave my positive vote because the software had already been recommended to me several times”, says Jannis.
“Instead of a central platform, our data was distributed across several tools.”

“We wanted to move away from outdated 1.0 systems to a fast, secure cloud software.”
The Goal
In order to be able to dedicate himself to strategic HR topics, Jannis relied on the digital transformation of the entire department. The question that moved him was: How can a digital platform help us as a team to continuously improve?
“We wanted to move away from outdated 1.0 systems to a fast, secure cloud software,” explains Jannis. A modern HR system should store data centrally and consistently and enable the connection of additional tools via secure interfaces. “It was important to us that we did not have to export data here and import it there. All data should be accessible and usable on a central platform”.
The Result
Teufel is now also an innovation driver in HR. To ensure that his team can work smoothly, Jannis makes sure that Personio as a central platform is constantly expanded and supplemented. “For employee surveys, for example, we have Honestly docked with Personio,” he reveals.
In the everyday office life of his colleagues, the import-export madness is over now that the data from all tools is stored centrally in Personio. The HR team also finds it easier to handle their daily HR work.
Holiday applications are submitted digitally, home office is approved at the push of a button, and contract templates are easily created from Personio. “We have even digitised the personnel files of the last decades with the help of Personio”, says Jannis.

Jannis especially appreciates the flexibility and platform character of Personio. “Everything we need for our daily HR work can now be handled by one central software.” Innovation can be that simple.
