# How do I add a new Employee into the system?

## As part of a large organization, Managing users can be a challenge. If you have a consistent hiring cycle, the act of adding people into the system can become tiresome and time consuming. Thankfully, it’s very easy to add new hires into the platform.

o do so, you first need to navigate to the people tab within the platform:

On this page, you have the option in the top right to “Add Person”. Click it.

This next screen allows you to fill in the information of your new hire, their name, email address, manager, role in the organization, employee number and more:

Once you have added in all of the information required, the next step is to scroll to the bottom of the page and click “Save”.
