In Germany, it is a legal requirement to write and hand out references to (former) employees. Over 3 million references are created every year, which means a huge amount of work for HR departments at companies of all sizes in the DACH region.
Due to the requirement to write benevolent but also truthful references, the coded reference language is used. To ensure that everyone involved is satisfied, individual and, above all, legally compliant references must be drawn up. Only then does the company not have to fear negative legal consequences.
Certificate generators speed up the process and significantly reduce the workload of the HR department and employee managers. The guided process makes it possible to create references quickly without any knowledge of the reference language. While simple grades are awarded for the employee's skills and characteristics, legally verified formulations ensure that no unwanted assessments are made due to ignorance on the part of the certificate creator.
The fully digital process makes it possible for employees, managers and HR staff to be involved in the creation of employment references regardless of location and without any coordination effort. Rapid creation not only saves resources in the company, but also leads to satisfied employees and strengthens the company's employer branding even after a separation.
Creating certificates is teamwork
The verlingo certificate generator provides you with various workflows for creating employment certificates. Employees can be easily integrated into the creation process. The employee can enter the master data and an individual job description themselves and, if desired, make a self-assessment using sliders. For many HR managers, it is not possible or only possible with great effort to describe the activities performed by the employees themselves.
The manager is then automatically informed and can make adjustments and evaluate performance. The reference can be generated either directly by the manager or subsequently by the HR manager. In both cases, the final adjustments are made in the HR department and the finished certificate is made ready for dispatch.
Employees relieve the burden on managers and HR staff and speed up the entire process. Employees receive their reference more quickly and are informed of the current status at all times via a live status. There is no need for follow-up for anyone involved.
Of course, references can also be created directly without the involvement of managers and employees or your own individual workflows can be defined. Choose or create the process that makes the most sense for the job reference in question. With employee and manager. With employee only. Only with manager. Directly without the involvement of third parties. Or define your own individual workflow, including approval processes for other parties involved. Simply adapt the verlingo certificate generator to your company's individual processes.
Exemplary creation process involving an employee, including entering a self-assessment. In this workflow, a large part of the work is outsourced to the employee. Who should be involved in the process and to what extent can be selected individually for each certificate.
The protection of personal data is a top priority for us. We process personal data exclusively in accordance with the applicable legal provisions on data protection. Disclosure to third parties and misuse for other purposes is excluded. We take far-reaching and comprehensive data protection measures to protect personal data.
We conclude a data processing agreement (DPA) with all our customers.
Writing job references means a lot of effort for companies
The legal requirement for a truthful and benevolent assessment of employees in qualified references poses many challenges. In order to resolve the often existing contradiction between benevolent and truthful, a technical language, the so-called reference language, has been developed.
This is coded technical language in which the formulations contain hidden messages and grades. Everyone knows phrases such as "to the fullest satisfaction" or "always endeavored". As there are many other formulations and rules, people who are supposed to write references need the appropriate specialist knowledge of reference language.
This cannot be guaranteed in all companies in Germany; qualified personnel are rare and appropriate further training is expensive. Behind every formulation made by creators without specialist knowledge lurks the danger of unintentionally negative assessments of the employee. The absence of essential information can also convey negative messages. In the worst case, it can lead to a legal dispute.
A few years ago, it was published that thousands of legal disputes are fought in German labor courts every year over employment references. Legally tested text modules ensure that the formulations correspond to the desired assessments.
