Personio LMS Integration:
Sync Employees & Automate Training
Connect Workademy with Personio to automatically sync employees, trigger onboarding on hire dates, and track training completion—all without manual work. Setup in 15 minutes. Used by 50+ companies in DACH region.
Why Integrate Personio with an LMS?
Your employee data lives in Personio. Your training needs to happen automatically based on that data. Without integration, you're manually creating user accounts, assigning courses, and updating spreadsheets. With Personio LMS integration, training happens automatically.
Problems Without Integration:
Manual Employee Onboarding
HR adds employee to Personio. Then L&D manually creates LMS account, assigns courses, sends login credentials. 15-20 minutes per hire.
Training Gets Forgotten
New hire starts Monday. Training assignment happens Friday (if remembered). First week wasted without proper onboarding.
Data Sync Nightmares
Employee changes department. Personio updated. LMS outdated. Training assignments wrong. Completion reports inaccurate.
No Single Source of Truth
Who completed onboarding? Check Personio. Who passed compliance training? Check LMS. Export both, merge in Excel. Weekly.
What Personio LMS Integration Solves:
Instant Employee Sync
New hire added to Personio → Automatically created in Workademy with correct department, role, manager. Zero manual work.
Hire Date Automation
Training triggers on actual start date. New employee receives welcome email with login on Day 1. Onboarding ready when they are.
Always Up-to-Date
Role change in Personio → Training assignments update automatically. Promotion, transfer, or departure syncs in real-time.
Single Sign-On
Employees use Personio credentials to access Workademy. One password. No separate login. Less friction, higher completion.
Department-Based Rules
Sales team → Sales onboarding + CRM training. Engineering → Technical security training. Rules set once, applied forever.
Unified Reporting
See training completion alongside HR metrics. Export combined reports. Track onboarding effectiveness by hire cohort.
The Result: Zero Manual Work
When someone is hired in Personio, they're automatically created in Workademy, assigned department-specific training, and receive login credentials on their start date. When they change roles, training updates automatically. When they leave, access is removed. You do nothing.
