Overview

The People area is where you keep your team's records straight: who works here, what they do, who they report to, and how your org is structured. It replaces spreadsheets and shared docs with one place your whole team can read from.

Every employee also gets a lightweight self-service portal where they can update their own profile, request time off, and view documents you've shared with them, without needing a paid seat in Mercleo.

What's in the People area

• Directory: every employee, as a table or a card grid, with a search and view toggle.
• Employee records: each person's profile, position history, manager, team memberships, documents and status.
• Org structure: teams arranged in a hierarchy, plus a visual org chart you can view or edit.
• Employee self-service: a portal at your employee's own address where they manage their profile and time off without a Mercleo seat.

Who can do what

Anyone on your team with access to the People area can view the directory, employee records and org chart. Editing is narrower, and follows your team's workspace roles rather than a separate People-specific permission set.

• Org admin and Talent admin roles can edit an employee's record: change status, set a manager or team and manage documents. Adding a new employee to the directory is Org admin only.
• Org admin alone can create, edit or delete teams, and switch the org chart into edit mode. Talent admin can edit employee records but not the org structure.
