Breakdown of core features

Attendance management

Zoho People allows users to generate insightful reports, regularize attendance, and empower on-site and remote employees to check in from anywhere. HR teams can plan better with real-time information on employee absences and keep the mobile workforce agile with IP and location-based attendance marking. In addition, the solution improves employee engagement by letting employees check in from the web and mobile app, view their attendance, and raise requests for regularization.

Reports

HR teams can generate and use attendance reports to view vital trends within teams, departments, and locations, such as which workers are consistently early birds or latecomers. These reports give an analytical view of the logged attendance and work hours. Zoho People ensures people have the right information about the work they do. With reports like time logs, project status, scheduled vs. worked hours, time off, goals, and appraisal ratings, employees are better equipped to succeed in their roles.

Customized onboarding

With Zoho People, HR teams can craft a personalized onboarding experience based on experience or work roles. The solution enables users to build a customized onboarding process to welcome, engage, and retain new hires. Moreover, organizations can create a portal for new hires and pre-onboard them. HR teams can also send new employees the offer letter and assign forms, like company policies, tax forms, and other documents before onboarding to lighten the burden on their first day.

HR chatbot

Zia, Zoho’s AI assistant, is a tool that guides employees with everyday HR situations like clocking in and out for the day, applying for time off, and getting reliable answers to HR questions. With machine learning, Zia lets employees complete HR tasks on time. Employees can apply for leave by giving the chatbot the requested days, reason, and type of leave. With this info, Zia will complete the entire leave application process on their behalf. This feature can also pull up information about time off availability and upcoming holidays on demand.
