The demands for managing personnel have changed considerably in recent years. In the 80s, the personnel sector devoted most of its time to the topic "salary and wages", while the 90s brought issues like personnel development into the mix.

Today, HR managers are busy with a variety of concerns, which no longer have an immediate connection to the salary or wage of the employee.

Persis and our partner products are the realization of the issues inter alia sketched out below.
