Zoho People

Zoho People is a cloud-based human resource management system (HRMS) that streamlines every aspect of employee lifecycle management — from onboarding and attendance to performance reviews and separation. It replaces spreadsheets and paper forms with automated, self-service HR processes.

Employee self-service lets staff update personal details, apply for leave, check attendance records, and submit documents without involving HR. Managers approve requests, conduct performance appraisals, and track team metrics from a unified dashboard. Custom forms, workflows, and approval hierarchies adapt to any organisational structure.

For East African businesses, Zoho People supports multiple leave policies, shift scheduling, geo-fenced attendance tracking, and configurable holiday calendars for different countries. It integrates with Zoho Payroll for seamless salary processing and with Zoho Recruit for end-to-end hiring workflows.
