Zoho People

Zoho People is a cloud-based HR management system (HRMS) that brings attendance, leave, performance and employee records into one platform. It suits HR teams and managers who want less paperwork and more visibility into day-to-day people processes.

What Zoho People does

Zoho People centralises core HR tasks: storing employee records, tracking attendance and shifts, managing leave requests, running performance reviews, and handling onboarding. Administrators configure the system to match the organisation’s structure, while employees and managers use self-service tools for everyday tasks.

Main capabilities

• Employee database and organisation profile setup, with configurable roles and permissions.
• Leave and attendance tracking, including shift management and calendar sync.
• Performance management, including goals, appraisals and feedback.
• Self-service spaces for employees (My Space) and managers (Team Space).
• A Developer Space for connecting Zoho People to other systems using connections, widgets and extensions.
• Administrative tools for data backup, sandbox testing and access control.
