Product Details

What is Zoho People?

Zoho People is an online Human Resources Management System that allows users to manage employee data. It offers essential HR functions such as time tracking, onboarding, and scheduling. Zoho People is highly customizable and designed to simplify HR processes. HR Managers can set up workflows to quickly address daily tasks or assign them to another employee. Zoho People also reduces the need for repetitive data entry. Document templates and instant field updates help the HR department maintain organized records. Zoho People's scheduler can be used to create emails and reports that are automatically sent to the proper recipients.

HR Management System

Zoho People centralizes employee information into a single database and improves communication between departments. The self-service feature allows employees to log time, apply for leave, and provide real-time updates to their team members. Zoho People also offers performance management, which allows employees to write peer reviews and set personal objectives. For employee questions and requests, Zoho People includes a case management system. HR managers can promptly respond to questions and update the status of requests.


This system includes workforce intelligence tools and HR analytics that automatically create detailed reports. Zoho People monitors team performance and enables businesses to make data-driven decisions. The advanced HR analytics provide deeper insights into daily operations and important business trends. If you are not satisfied with the pre-made reports, you can use Zoho People's drag-and-drop interface to build your own. The HR analytics are useful for every level of the business, including executives and managers. Zoho People can give you an overview of employee turnover, hiring versus attrition rates, and company growth.


Zoho People functions as a standalone Human Resources Management System. Anyone who already uses Zoho has the option to integrate this system with a few other products. Since Zoho only includes a user limit in the free subscription, businesses have more freedom to select an ideal feature set. For those who want to bundle their HRM system with more software, Zoho People Plus is a great option. Zoho People Plus gives you access to expense management, collaboration, talent acquisition, internal communications, and password management software.

Learning Management System

Businesses can also benefit from Zoho People's Learning Management System, which offers a variety of training methods. This system allows Human Resource departments to create self-paced and accessible learning plans for their organizations. Zoho People's course builder is highly customizable and includes engaging content. The training modules include interactive discussions and timed assessments that are designed to provide a better learning experience.


Zoho People's e-learning platform integrates with the performance management system, giving users insights into their progress and the effectiveness of the training program. The Learning Management System can be added to an Essential HR, Professional, or Premium subscription. Zoho People's Enterprise plan includes blended learning and course management at no additional cost.

Zoho People is the HRMS software. Here, in our organization we track employees leaves, attendances, timesheet using Zoho people. It's very easy and user friendly. Employees birthdays, people who're all newly hired everything will be displayed to people. And there is a chat box integrated with this software so we can easily connect to people.

We use Zoho People on a large scale. Where we keep track of the progress of one individual. We can monitor the progress of a peers USing PMS, set up monthly & quarterly goals, and review and rate the goals. It also keeps track of many other things like attendance, Log-ins & outs, it is a very effective ticketing tool as well.

Zoho People is something that helps us a lot in our daily business activities. Back in 2020 when I am working with the "Workhurs" everything was good before Covid and we have an opening for a lot of positions at that time, We are unable to hire the 4 - 5 suitable candidates even though they are good, the only reason is they are unable to relocate to the Job location. Covid happened and everything was made Remote for us, We started our remote journey and I personally felt a lot of issues in handling my team, the biggest problem we faced over there is communication and the proper structure of the remote work environment. Then we come up with this Zoho People which has some unique features of Remote working setup where we can get the attendance and pay roll and even more features which helped us a lot. Not only these we used Zoho Cliq, Zoho CRM, Zoho Meeting, and a lot more Zoho one products during work hours. I moved to another organization now and I found these guys also using Zoho over here.

Zoho People is used in our Human Resources Department, managing about 15 employees in total. The system is only accessible to a few people and helps to keep all employee files in one space. This cloud based HRMS also helps to ensure access to information from a distance with Covid-19.

Zoho People has been a reliable human resource management software that allows us to manage all our employees in one platform.
It solves our workforce management issues because it allows us to store employees' data. We use it to manage attendances, leaves, and other issues concerning our workers. Therefore, it has been a very helpful software to our company.

We are using Zoho People for filing and tracking human resources information as well as across the organization for tracking attendance. We have a fairly unique organizational structure in that all of our staff are self-supported, so most of us work other jobs and scheduling can be difficult. The time tracking feature of Zoho People has been really helpful for creating some accountability for time in the office. It's nice that that feature is part of a program we were already using (we also use Zoho Recruit for applications), and the app is great as well.
