Web Part · People Hub
Find anyone in your org, fast
People Hub is an interactive staff directory and org chart built into SharePoint. It pulls live data straight from Microsoft Entra ID, so your team can search and find anyone in the organisation without leaving the intranet.
Core features
A directory that maintains itself
People Hub replaces the outdated spreadsheet with a live staff directory and org chart, sourced directly from the Microsoft 365 profiles your organisation already keeps up to date.
Live directory search
Search by name, department, role or skill and get instant results with photos pulled straight from Microsoft 365 profiles.
Org chart navigation
Drill down through reporting lines from any starting point, and switch between manager view and full org chart view.
Always in sync
Synced automatically from Microsoft Entra ID. No duplicate directories to maintain and no manual data entry.
Staff Directory
Search and connect in seconds
Find people by name, role or skill
Search across every Microsoft 365 user profile in your tenant. Filter by department, office or skill and get instant, photo-backed results without leaving SharePoint.
Live search across all Microsoft 365 user profiles
Click straight into a conversation
Every profile card links directly to Microsoft Teams. Find the right person and start a chat without switching apps or hunting for an email address.
Org Chart
Always in sync with your growing workforce
Navigate reporting lines with a click
Drill down through any part of the organisation from a single starting point. Switch between manager view and a full org chart with unlimited hierarchy levels.
One source of truth, no upkeep
Reporting lines update automatically as Microsoft Entra ID changes, so there is never a separate directory to maintain or a rebuild after every reshuffle.
