Personio has just been named a Core Leader in the 2026 Fosway 9-Grid™ for Cloud HR — our second consecutive year in that spot. What matters most to me isn't the badge, it's what's behind it: Fosway builds this rating on direct interviews with our customers, and they confirmed we still hold one of the best cost-to-value profiles in the category. Two years running. That's not an accident. We shipped over 70 customer-facing updates in Q2 2026 alone, going deeper on the complexity that actually slows scaling companies down. Most HR platforms are built for a global average. Europe doesn't fit that average — payroll rules change at every border, and things like collective bargaining agreements aren't an edge case here, they're the job. We built Personio around that reality from day one, and having an independent, Europe-focused analyst confirm it, straight from our own customers, is the validation that means the most. To everyone at Personio who built, shipped, and showed up for our customers this year: thank you. This one's yours.
