What is Zoho People?

Zoho People is an HRMS (Human Resource Management System) built on the cloud that centralizes all employee-related processes into a single platform. It replaces manual HR processes – spreadsheets, paper forms, and disconnected systems – with automated workflows, self-service portals, and real-time analytics. For UAE businesses, the platform is particularly valuable because it supports WPS payroll compliance, Arabic language interfaces, and UAE-specific leave types such as annual leave per UAE Labour Law.
