The killer featuresWhat keeps the record
What keeps the record
worth trusting.
Every step you just clicked through replaces a spreadsheet, an email or a copy of someone’s details. Here’s each one, and the pain it takes away.
A directory people actually use
Search, department chips and filters by status, location, manager and type, with cards or a table and signals for new joiners, birthdays, anniversaries and leave.
The pain it removesA shared spreadsheet of names that nobody trusts and everyone has a copy of.Every way in
Add one person, upload a CSV with column mapping, sync from Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, or convert an accepted offer straight into a record.
The pain it removesRetyping each new starter into three systems.One record, every module
Goals, recognition, learning, leave, files and onboarding all hang off the same employee record and show up on the profile.
The pain it removesSix tools, six versions of the same person.Cara’s read on every profile
A short read written for whoever is looking, whether that’s the person, their manager or HR, with one-click prompts to draft, plan or recognise.
The pain it removesProfiles that list facts but never tell you how someone is doing.Self-service with guardrails
Employees keep their own personal details, addresses and emergency contacts current. HR chooses which fields are locked, and payroll changes go through approval.
The pain it removesHR tickets to change a phone number, and bank details changed by email.An employee file that fills itself
Folders with role-based access, document types, acknowledgements, and letters filed automatically from compensation and ER cases.
The pain it removesSigned contracts scattered across inboxes and shared drives.Change history on every record
Who changed what and when, field by field, alongside onboarding, offboarding and leave on the Admin tab.
The pain it removesNobody can say when a manager or a start date changed, or who changed it.An org chart that’s always right
Built from reporting lines, filtered by department and location, searchable and downloadable as a PDF.
The pain it removesAn org chart slide that was out of date the week it was made.Formal lines and real collaboration
With Work Insights, the org chart compares reporting lines with how people actually work together, from counts and connections only.
The pain it removesReorgs designed on the chart, not on how work flows.Workforce numbers without a report request
A My company view for admins and owners, and an Analytics overview with headcount, turnover, new hires, tenure and net growth.
The pain it removesWaiting a week for someone to pull headcount and leavers from payroll.
Everyone in the loopFour people, one record.
Four people, one record.
Each sees what they need.
Core HR works when the person, their manager and HR all trust the same record. October gives each of them the view and the controls that fit their role.
