About Zoho People
Zoho People relaunches Zia as the AI core of its HR suite
Zoho People's recent moves center on a relaunched Zia, positioned as an AI assistant for HR work, alongside steady integration and accessibility investments — a WhatsApp integration for HR updates, a Lano partnership for global payroll, and accessibility work embedded across HR touchpoints. Publishing cadence is low and spread over many months, so the all-new Zia stands out as the headline release.
