As we approach the end of 2022, we at Zoho People want to express our heartfelt gratitude to our employees, customer, and partners for going above and beyond to help Zoho People reach the next level. Let's take a trip down memory lane to reflect on everything we've accomplished with your unparalleled support.
Here's a glimpse of Zoho People in 2022:
Major features
Course Costs in LMS
Creating a course for your employees often involves tracking costs to make smarter decisions. You don't want to do this on a spreadsheet and we understand. That's why we've introduced Course Costs, a new feature in our Learning Management System to help you add different categories of expenses related to your course, like program expenses, material expenses, and trainer expenses so that they're easy to track. Learn more about this feature.
FTP plugin in Attendance
We introduced the FTP plugin for our attendance management system so that HR administrators can share files containing attendance data securely and easily. In Zoho People, we support FTP, FTPS, and SFTP so that our users can experience a greater level of control and security while sharing even large-sized files. Learn more about the FTP plugin for Attendance.
Manager Evaluation in the Learning Management System
To improve training ROI, training admins need to understand how well their learners have performed in a particular course. That's why we've introduced a new feature that empowers managers to analyze and evaluate the performance of their reports in different courses. This way, you'll know if the training has been helpful and made the intended impact on learners. Learn more about Manager Evaluation in LMS.
Goal Setting in the Performance Management System
Goals are crucial to ensuring that your employees can work effectively towards your organizational objectives and vision. The process of goal setting should be streamlined and simplified to make sure nothing interferes with your employees' performance. That's why we introduced Goal Setting, a new feature that allows performance admins to set a timeframe within which employees have to set their goals. This will help employees develop a clear plan for the performance period. Learn more about Goal Setting in the Performance Management System.
New reports
Learner progress report: Helps organizations and training admins keep track of how learners are progressing in their respective courses by highlighting course completion percentage, status, and more.
Employees with no goals report: Provides a complete list of all employees who don't have any goals associated with them.
Major Initiatives
Zoho People Community Meet-up
To help our users learn about all the capabilities of Zoho People and put them to their best use, we organized our first-ever user group meetups in Bengaluru and Mumbai. The response to the user group meetups was overwhelming, and our attendees were excited to get all of their questions answered and interact with fellow Zoho People users.
Employee Appreciation Day campaign
We organized a campaign for Employee Appreciation Day to help people recognize and appreciate the efforts of their peers, managers, and subordinates. We created a webpage with a bunch of fun badges and certificates, which can be easily downloaded and shared. We also developed tweet threads and blog posts that provided easy tips for showing employee appreciation.
International HR Day campaign
For International HR Day, we launched an awareness campaign to spread the word about HR Day and the vital role HR professionals play in keeping an organization up and running.
All About Employee Experience
We developed All About Employee Experience, a central resource hub to help HR teams provide an exceptional experience to their workforces. From recruitment to retirement, we aim to cover every aspect of the employee journey and help organizations make every interaction with their employees engaging, interesting, and motivating.

Major Partnerships
Zoho People for Microsoft Teams
Recently, we integrated with Microsoft Teams to help our users complete more Zoho People tasks, like marking attendance, checking leave balances, requesting attendance regularization, and tracking the status of approvals directly from Teams, without having to juggle applications. In the Microsoft Store, you'll find Zoho People available as an extension service. Learn more about how this integration can be useful to your organization.
Partnership with GreytHR in the MEA region
At Zoho People, we understand that payroll is a key function of the HR team. To help our customers unify HR and payroll operations and simplify payroll processing, we partnered with GreytHR in the MEA region. This integration cuts down repetitive work and automates the entire payroll process. Learn more about this integration.
Wrapping up
With each passing year, Zoho People aims to empower organizations to provide an exceptional working experience to their employees, while making their HR operations as simple as possible. We look forward to introducing more useful features, meeting more valued users, interacting with industry experts, and creating useful resources for the HR community in 2023!
