Employee directory built on your own fields

Keep each employee's job, contact and personal details in one profile, with the fields your company needs. Import people from a spreadsheet, schedule changes ahead and choose who sees what.

Employee directory built on your own fields

How it works

From spreadsheet to employee directory

One profile per person replaces the spreadsheet that HR, managers and IT each keep a copy of.

Step 1

Your fields and tables

HR adds the field groups, fields and tables the profile needs and limits any of them to the locations they apply to.

Step 2

People from a file

An XLSX or CSV import creates the profiles, with each column matched to a profile field before anything is saved.

Step 3

Access by role

Each role gets the fields it may view or edit, so colleagues see work details while salaries stay closed.

Step 4

Changes with dates

Promotions, transfers and new salaries are entered with the date they take effect and apply on that day.

Profiles

Employee profiles with your own fields

Job, contact and personal details, documents and history sit in one profile, in sections you define. Some fields can apply only to certain locations.

    Text, number, date, select, checkbox, file and person fields, grouped into the sections each profile shows.

Import

Employee data import and bulk updates

Bring your team in from a spreadsheet or another HR system, then use the same import whenever many profiles need to change at once.

  • Columns matched to profile fields

    Upload XLSX or CSV and PeopleForce suggests a field for each column and lists required ones still unmatched.

  • New people and updates in one file

  • Photos, history and tables

History

Employment history with effective dates

Position, manager, work status, salary and historical fields keep the date each change takes effect, so the profile shows what was true and what comes next.

  • Changes entered in advance

    Add a promotion, transfer or new salary with a future date, and it becomes the current value on that day.

  • Past and upcoming changes on one timeline

  • Former employees kept on record

Directory

Directory search and filters

Find anyone by name, email or phone, filter by department, location or team, and switch between cards and a list. HR also sees who is onboarding, on probation or leaving.

Directory search and filters

Access

Directory access by role

Colleagues see each other's names, work contacts, positions and managers. Salaries, personal details and former employees open only to the roles you choose, field by field.

can benefit your HR operations

The directory is the record the rest of Core HR reads from, so the org chart, document templates, onboarding workflows and reports start from the same profile.

For HR: one record to keep

Edit a profile once and the org chart, document templates and reports use the new data.

For managers: their team

Managers open the profiles of their reports, even without access to the full directory.
