Connected people ops is not a longer feature list. It is fewer handoffs between the systems that already describe the same person.
In PeopleOS, managers review leave and attendance with context, HR sees what is waiting, and employees find payslips without asking finance.
The month-end loop
Morning: attendance and leave land on one record.
Mid-cycle: exceptions and approvals clear before prepare.
Payday: review, approve, publish payslips — with audit history.
