How Steegle.One's Dynamic Org Chart Works

A key advantage of Steegle.One is its Steegle People tool, which transforms static directory data into a dynamic, intelligent organizational chart. It operates on a simple yet powerful technical framework, making it easy to maintain and scale.

Visualize Your Organization with Steegle People Org Chart

Transforming Directory Data into an Org Chart:

Source: Steegle People connects directly to your existing Google Workspace Directory.

Sync: It performs a secure, read-only sync of employee profiles, reporting structures (manager attribute), and custom fields (like department, location, or "Skills").

Processing: This data is processed within your Google Workspace environment to map relationships and build an org chart model of your organization.

Output: The graph is rendered as an interactive, visual org chart on your intranet, with optional filterable views (by department, location, etc.).

Why This Matters for Your Organization?

Zero-Maintenance: Steegle People is never out-of-date. A promotion or team change in Workspace Directory is reflected in the intranet org chart, eliminating a classic source of internal misinformation.

Structured Data: This process creates a clean, entity-rich data model (People, Departments, Reporting Hierarchy) that functions as a single source of truth for organizational data. This structured data is far more reliable for employees and leaders in retrieving information about team structures than manually updating text on a page.

Custom Search: Because relationships are mapped, Steegle People supports keyword searches across job titles, addresses, names, emails, skills, teams, and more.

This framework ensures that your intranet isn't just displaying information, but is actively modeling the structure of your organization for accurate reporting and intuitive navigation that reflects how your teams work together.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes, Steegle.One is built on Google Workspace and allows HR departments to create dedicated spaces for onboarding. Using Google Groups, access can be tightly controlled so only new hires and HR staff see sensitive materials. Within the portal, HR can embed onboarding documents, training guides, compliance policies, and welcome content.

  • Yes, organizational charts in Steegle.One are generated directly from Google Workspace data through the Steegle People feature. HR teams and administrators don’t need to manually rebuild or update charts, as they are automatically created and kept current whenever the Google Workspace directory changes.

  • No. Steegle.One does not move or store HR or personnel data outside your Google Workspace tenant. All information remains strictly within Google Workspace, managed by your own organization’s security and compliance controls, ensuring alignment with GDPR, HIPAA, and other data protection requirements.

  • Yes. Steegle.One integrates directly with Google Drive, allowing HR teams to centralize Employee Handbook files in one secure location. Instead of employees searching through multiple versions, Steegle.One ensures that the latest approved handbook is always surfaced on the intranet. Administrators can control access, archive older versions, and highlight updates so staff only see the current policy.

  • Yes. Steegle Share lets you embed and control access to Drive content directly within the intranet, ensuring everyone sees the latest version.

  • No — you don’t need to use the Steegle People org chart if you already have an existing solution. Steegle.One is modular, and many clients choose to disable or limit access to the org chart feature, especially for general staff.

    However, our org chart has unique advantages, particularly for organizations with:
    Contractors, non-payroll staff, or hybrid roles that may not appear in traditional HR systems

    • The need to extend directory visibility beyond internal full-time employees

    • A desire to sync directly with Google Workspace Directory, reducing manual updates

    Steegle People can automatically reflect changes in reporting lines, departments, or titles — and optionally include tagged users like contractors, advisors, or agency staff who are still critical to operations.

    Many of our clients choose to:

    • Restrict org chart visibility to HR or executive teams

    • Display a simplified chart for general staff while maintaining a full version internally

    So while it’s optional, Steegle People’s org chart may offer a lightweight, maintenance-free view that complements your existing tools — especially in hybrid or fast-growing teams.

  • Not really — Steegle.One is built on Google Sites, so if your team already uses Google Workspace, the learning curve is minimal. Most clients need little to no technical training to get started.

    That said, we include a 2-hour training session with every implementation. During this time, we show your team:

    • How to get the most out of Steegle.One’s features

    • Best practices for structure, design, and content management

    • Tips to move from “just functional” to truly user-friendly and engaging

    Think of it like Google Docs — anyone can write one, but making it clean, clear, and effective takes experience. We guide you through that part.

  • Yes — Steegle.One supports both simple and advanced onboarding/offboarding workflows, tailored to your organization’s size and needs.

    For smaller teams or nonprofits, we recommend using Google Forms integrated into your intranet pages. This lets you collect new hire or exit info, track checklists, and trigger automated alerts — all within Google Workspace.

    For larger or more complex organizations, we provide custom workflows using Google AppSheet. These no-code apps can:

    • Manage multi-step onboarding or exit processes

    • Record data securely within your Google Workspace

    • Trigger actions like policy confirmations, equipment provisioning, or manager notifications

    • Optionally log all activity in a ticketing-style system for compliance and tracking

    With Steegle.One, you choose the right level of workflow complexity — and we help configure it directly inside your intranet for a smooth, centralized experience.
