Peakon creates a segment when an employee is linked to another employee in an employee-type attribute. The segment contains the name of the manager, followed by Direct reports or All reports, depending on if the direct report is also a manager themselves.
It’s also possible to create and populate segments using an Excel file, when you upload employee record data. Example: to set the manager for an employee, you must add the email address of the manager in the column of the employee-type attribute on the data file. The column name and attribute name on Peakon must be an exact match. If an exact match isn’t possible, you can add an Alias in the settings of the attribute, or you can rename the attribute on Peakon.
Anyone with access to upload employee data can create and populate segments under existing attributes.
