Employee Groups

An automation’s audience is built from groups: include these, exclude those. Pyn gives every workspace a set to start with, one group per department, location and so on, and lets you add your own. Membership is evaluated by Pyn as employee data changes, so a group you made last year still means what it said.

The All Groups table with a type icon, Parent and Name columns, listing the Country groups United Kingdom and United States, the Department groups, the Division groups Go to Market and R&D, and the Lifecycle groups Current Active, Inactive, Terminated and Upcoming Employees. — Directory > Employee Groups lists every group with its type and parent demographic.

The five kinds

Kind	Members	You create it by
Demographic	Everyone with one value of a property: Department is Engineering.	Creating a demographic; Pyn makes a group per value.
Lifecycle	Everyone near a date: a birthday in the next week, the first 90 days after start.	Seeded; Birthday and Onboarding exist from the start.
Filter	Everyone matching an audience: lifecycle stages plus included and excluded groups.	Create > Filter.
Relationship	Everyone who has, or lacks, a manager, buddy, mentor or HRBP, or who is one.	Create > Relationship.
Static	The people you add.	Create > Static.

The table shows a type icon, the Parent demographic (for demographic groups) and the Name. The views Demographic, Lifecycle and Filter show one kind each; relationship and static groups are in All Groups. Select a group to open its panel with Group Employees: and, for a filter group, a Configure tab showing its audience.

What you can do here

Create a filter group for a saved audience.
Create a static group from names, pasted emails or a file.
Create a relationship group such as everyone without a buddy.
Create a demographic to get a group per value of a property.
Group types lists the seeded groups and how each kind is evaluated.
How audiences match explains how included groups combine: any of those with the same parent, all of those with different parents.
