Intro

Put Your Whole Organisation on One Clear Structure

A growing business can quickly become difficult to map. New employees join, people move between departments, managers change and reporting lines develop.

ConnectSimpli turns your employee data into a clear organisational structure so HR teams and managers can understand how the business is connected.

See departments, teams, roles, employees and managers in one dynamic view without building and updating an org chart by hand.

Each part of the structure can show the information needed to understand how the organisation works, including employee names, job roles, departments and managers.

Departments

See departments together in one company-wide view.

Teams

Understand how teams sit within each department.

Roles

See employee job titles and positions within the structure.

Reporting lines

Make Reporting Lines Clear

A strong organisational structure makes it easier to understand who is responsible for what and who reports to whom.

ConnectSimpli allows businesses to define primary and secondary managers while helping identify conflicting or duplicate reporting relationships.

This gives managers and HR teams a clearer view of leadership and reporting across the company.

Automatic updates

Your Organisational Structure Stays Up to Date

Your company does not stay the same.

Employees join. People change departments. Roles change. Managers change.

Your organisational structure should change with it.

ConnectSimpli connects your org chart with live employee records so changes to your people can be reflected in the company structure.

New Employees

Add new employees and place them into the right part of the organisation.

Department Changes

Keep the structure updated when employees move between departments.

Role Changes

Reflect changes in job titles and positions.

Employee Status

Keep active and inactive employees clearly separated.

Workforce management

Make Workforce Management Easier

A clear organisational structure gives HR teams better visibility of the workforce.

See how employees are distributed across departments and teams, understand reporting relationships and use your employee information to support workforce planning.

ConnectSimpli combines organisational structure with employee management, job titles, teams and departments so your workforce data stays connected.

Departments

Connect Departments, Teams and Roles

Departments and teams should not exist as separate lists.

ConnectSimpli lets you see how your departments, teams and roles fit together inside the wider organisation.

This helps HR teams build a clearer workforce structure and helps managers understand where employees sit within the business.

Manager visibility

Give Managers a Clear View of Their Teams

Managers need to know who is in their team, who reports to them and how their team connects with the wider business.

A central organisational structure helps managers get that information quickly without asking HR for every detail.

Use the org chart to give leaders better visibility while keeping access controlled.

Reduce Manual Org Chart Work

Manually creating an org chart can become a constant job as the company grows.

One employee joins and the chart needs updating. Someone changes department and another update is needed.

ConnectSimpli reduces this manual work by building your organisational structure from real employee and reporting information.

Your HR team can spend less time maintaining diagrams and more time managing people.

Access & control

Keep Your Organisation Data Controlled

Not everyone needs access to the same employee information.

Role-based visibility lets you control who can view the organisational structure, while editing can remain restricted to authorised administrators.

Changes to the structure can also be tracked, giving your HR team better control over important workforce information.

Employee experience

Help Employees Understand the Organisation

A clear structure helps employees understand where they fit within the company.

Employees can see the relationship between teams, departments, roles and managers, making the organisation easier to understand as it grows.

This is especially useful for businesses with multiple teams, departments or management levels.
