Story Metrics You’ll Get From Personio

Once you have Personio connected, our platform will fetch the data. This process can take up to a few hours to complete (depending on the things you track and their health).

In an ideal scenario, you'll be able to see metrics in different Story chapters such as Headcount, Diversity, Talent Management, Rewards, Turnover and Leadership. You can also activate data filler and diagnostic surveys in People Analytics to enrich your Culture, Team Effectiveness and Employee Wellbeing data.

Here is an overview of just a few metrics you'll get access to.

Headcount metrics

Diversity metrics

Leadership metrics

Turnover metrics

Talent Acquisition
