From Hire to Retire: How Zoho People Automates Your Entire HR Operation

As your company grows, so does the complexity of managing your employees. Onboarding new hires, tracking attendance, managing leave requests, conducting performance reviews—these essential tasks can quickly turn into a mountain of paperwork and spreadsheets.
This administrative burden takes your HR team away from strategic initiatives like talent development and building a great company culture. Zoho People is a complete, cloud-based Human Resource Management System (HRMS) designed to automate your HR processes and create exceptional employee experiences.
What is Zoho People?
Zoho People is an all-in-one HR platform that covers everything from hiring and onboarding to time management, performance appraisals, and employee exit. It centralizes all your employee data, making it easily accessible and secure, while automating dozens of routine HR tasks.
Key Features for a Modern HR Department
1. Seamless Onboarding & Offboarding
Create a fantastic first impression. With Zoho People, you can design a structured onboarding workflow. Automatically send offer letters, collect documents, assign onboarding tasks (like setting up IT equipment), and schedule introductory meetings. Similarly, you can manage the entire exit process smoothly with a standardized offboarding checklist.
2. Attendance, Time Tracking, and Leave Management
Eliminate manual tracking. Employees can clock in and out via the web or a mobile app (with geo-fencing to ensure they're at the right location). The leave management system allows employees to apply for time off online, which is then sent to their manager for approval, all while keeping leave balances automatically updated.
3. Performance Management System
Foster a culture of continuous improvement. Zoho People helps you conduct effective performance reviews. Set goals, gather 360-degree feedback from peers and managers, identify skill gaps, and maintain a complete record of an employee's performance journey.
4. Centralized Employee Database & Self-Service
Empower your employees. Zoho People provides a secure, central repository for all employee information. The employee self-service portal allows staff to access their own records, update personal information, view company policies, and apply for leave, reducing the administrative load on your HR team.
5. Powerful Automation and Integration
Zoho People works with the rest of your business ecosystem. It can be configured to automatically push salary and reimbursement data to Zoho Books for payroll processing. It also integrates with Zoho Cliq for company-wide announcements and notifications.
