ChordHR People module — employee profiles, performance, and org chart in one place

No separate tools.
One employee record for everything.

Most companies run three or four tools just for this category — an HRIS, a performance tool, an LMS, a headcount planner. ChordHR puts all four on one employee profile.

One profile, four modules
Performance reviews, learning progress, succession maps, and org charts all read from the same employee record. No imports, no mismatches.
Structured performance cycles
Appraisals run on a defined cycle. Ratings, comments, and goals all live on the employee's profile — visible to the right people every review cycle.
Training that's tracked
Assign courses, track completion, and tie certifications to employee profiles. Compliance training gaps surface automatically.
Succession before it's urgent
Map successors for key roles now, not after someone resigns. Headcount plans and role gaps are visible before they become a crisis.

Four modules. One employee profile.

Every module in the People collection connects to the same employee record — so data you enter in one place appears automatically in the others.

ChordHR Employee Hub — employee directory and profile view
Employee Hub

Every employee's record — complete from day one.

One profile holds personal info, documents, org chart position, job history, and employment status. HR stops hunting across spreadsheets and file folders to answer a basic question.

  • Complete employee profiles with history and documents
  • Live org chart that updates when roles or managers change
  • Onboarding checklists with task tracking per new hire
  • Offboarding workflows with clearance sign-off
  • Document storage with expiry alerts (IDs, contracts, visas)
  • Custom fields for any data your org tracks
Performance

Reviews without the scramble. Goals that actually connect.

Run performance cycles on your schedule. Every rating, comment, and goal lives on the employee's profile — visible to the right people during the next cycle.

  • Goal-setting frameworks — choose what fits your org
  • Cascading goals from company → department → individual
  • 360° reviews: self, peer, manager, and skip-level
  • Configurable rating scales and competency frameworks
  • Review history stored on the profile — always in context
  • Continuous feedback and 1:1 check-in logging

ChordHR Learning module — course assignments, completion tracking, and certifications
Learning

Assign a course today. See it on their profile tomorrow.

Build internal courses or link external ones. Assign to individuals or cohorts. Track completion automatically and tie certifications directly to the employee's profile so nothing falls through the cracks.

  • Internal course builder with video, docs, and quizzes
  • Assignment by role, department, or individual
  • Completion tracking with automated reminders
  • Certification storage and expiry alerts
  • Compliance training gap reports auto-surfaced
  • Learning history visible on every employee's profile
Talent Planning

Know who fills the next role before the vacancy opens.

Map successors for every key position. Track headcount against plan. Identify high-potential employees before they leave. Talent planning shifts from reactive to intentional.

  • Succession mapping for any role in the org chart
  • Headcount planning with approval workflow for new roles
  • 9-box talent grid based on performance and potential ratings
  • Attrition risk scoring using tenure and engagement signals
  • Role readiness tracking for succession candidates

People problems HR teams deal with every week

These aren't edge cases. They're the things People teams bring up in the first five minutes of every demo call.

Employee data — single source of truth Performance review on employee profile Training completion tracking Succession mapping Live org chart
One profile — single source of truth
All 4 modules on one employee record

HRIS has one name, payroll has another, the leave system has a third department code. Every time HR answers a question, they're reconciling three sources and hoping for the best.

ChordHR fix
One employee profile is the single source of truth. Performance, learning, org chart, and contact details all read from the same record — no reconciliation needed.

The review cycle runs once a year. Ratings go into a shared sheet, managers add comments, HR compiles the data — and then it sits in a folder until the next cycle. Context is lost.

ChordHR fix
Every review, rating, and goal is stored on the employee's profile. During the next cycle, the full history is one click away — so reviews build on each other instead of starting from zero.

HR sends a link to a course. Some people open it. A compliance audit asks for completion records. HR sends a follow-up email. No one can say for certain who completed what.

ChordHR fix
Completion tracking is automatic. Every course assigned, started, and finished is logged on the employee's profile. Compliance gaps surface before the audit, not during it.

A department head resigns. Leadership asks who's ready to step in. HR has no documented answer. Succession planning was on the roadmap — just never got done.

ChordHR fix
Map successors to every critical role now, while there's no urgency. Track their readiness over time using performance data. When the question comes, the answer is already there.

Someone updates the org chart in PowerPoint or Lucidchart. Then roles change, someone leaves, and a new hire joins. The chart gets stale within weeks. Nobody trusts it anymore.

ChordHR fix
The org chart in ChordHR is generated live from employee data. When a role changes or a manager is updated, the chart updates automatically — no manual edits, no stale slides.

Not all People tools
work the same way

Basic HRIS tools leave performance and learning as an afterthought. Enterprise suites cover it but need a consultant to configure. ChordHR gives you what matters, out of the box.
