Digital Records

Every employee record, request, document is secure and accessible

  • Role-based access control — granular permissions ensure only authorised HR staff or managers can view sensitive documents.
  • Compliance & audit trails — every document view, edit, and download is timestamped and logged for compliance audits.
  • Document expiry alerts — automatic reminders for expiring visas, work permits, medical certificates, and licences.

Frequently Asked Questions

What employee data does Core HR store and manage?
Core HR centralises every employee record — personal details, job history, contracts, documents, org chart position, and custom fields. All data is searchable, auditable, and accessible based on your permission settings.
Can I import our existing employee records from Excel or another HRIS?
Yes. Avidia supports bulk import via CSV or Excel, and our onboarding team handles the migration for you. We also connect to most major HRIS platforms via API so your historical data comes over cleanly without manual re-entry.
Does Avidia Core HR support multiple entities or subsidiaries?
Yes. You can manage multiple legal entities, subsidiaries, or country offices under one Avidia account. Each entity can have its own policies, org structure, and payroll settings while sharing a unified employee database.
How does the org chart work and can it be customised?
The org chart is generated automatically from your reporting lines and updates in real time as you add, move, or offboard employees. You can filter by department, country, or entity, and export it as a PDF for leadership presentations.
Is there an employee self-service app?
Yes. Every employee gets access to the Avidia mobile app where they can view their profile, payslips, leave balance, documents, and team directory — without needing to contact HR for routine information.
