talenttrends Org Chart

Your organisation. Every level. Live.

talenttrends Org Chart turns Cornerstone’s hierarchy data into a single interactive visualisation — reporting chains, approval chains, OU trees and individual relationships in one place. Embedded in Cornerstone, live from the talenttrends Data Hub. No more PowerPoint charts that go out of date the day after export.

talenttrends Org Chart

The problem

The org chart goes out of date the day after export

Cor­ner­stone knows exact­ly who reports to whom, who approves what and how the organ­i­sa­tion is struc­tured. But this infor­ma­tion is buried in reports, OU pages and pro­file views. Any­one who needs an org chart rebuilds it in Pow­er­Point — and nev­er main­tains it again. Until the next reor­gan­i­sa­tion, when it all starts over.

Maintained manually in PowerPoint or Visio

Every org chart is a snap­shot that goes out of date the day after export. Reor­gan­i­sa­tions, new employ­ees, man­ag­er changes — none of it migrates into the chart automatically.

Several files, never in sync

Every divi­sion main­tains its own chart. No one knows which ver­sion is cur­rent, and no two match.

Only the reporting line visible

Who actu­al­ly approves my requests? Who is my project lead? In a clas­sic org chart, approval chains and matrix rela­tion­ships remain invisible.

No searching, just scrolling

In an organ­i­sa­tion with thou­sands of employ­ees, a sta­t­ic pic­ture is use­less. You know the per­son exists — but you can’t find them.

What you see with it

Four hier­ar­chies. One application.

The same organ­i­sa­tion, four per­spec­tives — switch­able with a click, with­out chang­ing the screen. That’s the dif­fer­ence between an org chart and a pic­ture of an org chart.

Manager chain

“Who reports to whom” — the clas­sic report­ing line, top-down or bot­tom-up. Resolved recur­sive­ly from any employ­ee up to the top of the organisation.

Approver chain

“Who approves my requests” — often a dif­fer­ent chain from the report­ing line, espe­cial­ly in matrix organ­i­sa­tions, with approval thresh­olds or cost-cen­tre responsibility.

Individual relationships

Men­tors, project leads, spon­sors, dot­ted-line rela­tion­ships — every rela­tion­ship that Cor­ner­stone knows via the rela­tion­ship type cat­a­logue. Org Chart detects avail­able types automatically.

OU structures

Divi­sion, depart­ment, loca­tion, cost cen­tre or any oth­er OU type con­fig­ured in Cor­ner­stone — the organ­i­sa­tion­al struc­ture as a tree rather than as peo­ple, with localised OU names per language.

The technology

Built for organ­i­sa­tions with tens of thousands

Org Chart runs in pro­duc­tive Cor­ner­stone projects where we take respon­si­bil­i­ty our­selves. This is what’s behind it.

Four hierarchies, resolved server-side

Man­ag­er chain, approver chain, indi­vid­ual rela­tion­ships and OU tree are cal­cu­lat­ed on the basis of your real Cor­ner­stone data — not from a sim­pli­fied or sam­pled version.

Live from the Data Hub

Org Chart works against your repli­cat­ed data foun­da­tion, not against Cor­ner­stone live APIs. No API throt­tling, no rate lim­its, full per­for­mance even dur­ing Cor­ner­stone main­te­nance windows.

Built for large organisations

Only the vis­i­ble sub­tree is loaded. Even deep, recur­sive hier­ar­chy tra­ver­sals are ready in mil­lisec­onds. Grows with your organ­i­sa­tion with­out get­ting slower.

Read-only and parameterised

Fixed, ver­sioned queries that ship with the appli­ca­tion — not gen­er­at­ed at run­time, not change­able via the inter­face. Strict­ly read-only. Org Chart can­not change data under any circumstances.

Permissions from Cornerstone

Who may see the chart is gov­erned by Cor­ner­stone’s native vis­i­bil­i­ty rules on the cus­tom page. Which columns appear at all is gov­erned by the Data Hub’s data con­fig­u­ra­tion. Fields marked as PII nev­er appear in the chart.

No third party, no data leak

The chart ren­ders via a sin­gle authen­ti­cat­ed chan­nel — no third-par­ty CDN fetch­es, no teleme­try leaks, no trans­mis­sion of employ­ee data to third-par­ty services.

Prerequisites

What you should coor­di­nate with us

Org Chart shows peo­ple, posi­tions and rela­tion­ships — that is, per­son­al data. A clean roll­out takes three points into account that we clar­i­fy togeth­er with you dur­ing onboarding.

Cornerstone setup

Org Chart needs data access to your Cor­ner­stone por­tal — either via acti­vat­ed Cor­ner­stone data inter­faces and a ded­i­cat­ed ser­vice account, or via the tal­ent­trends inte­gra­tion from the Cor­ner­stone Edge Mar­ket­place. The lat­ter is the faster route, because authen­ti­ca­tion and scope are pre-configured.

Account for co-determination

In Ger­many, intro­duc­ing Org Chart qual­i­fies as intro­duc­ing a tech­ni­cal sys­tem that presents employ­ee-relat­ed data — and typ­i­cal­ly trig­gers con­sul­ta­tion and infor­ma­tion rights for the works coun­cil. We pro­vide the doc­u­men­ta­tion you need for these con­ver­sa­tions. You lead the works coun­cil process your­self, not us.

Configure visibility

You deter­mine two things: who may see the chart (via the vis­i­bil­i­ty rules of the Cor­ner­stone cus­tom page) and which columns appear at all (via the data con­fig­u­ra­tion of the Data Hub). Any­one who does­n’t want to show email address­es or pho­tos in the chart, for exam­ple, excludes those columns at repli­ca­tion level.

Deployment

Your data, your infrastructure

Org Chart runs on the tal­ent­trends plat­form and fol­lows its three host­ing paths — from our cloud to your own data centre.

SaaS with talessio

Ful­ly oper­at­ed by us. Fastest time-to-val­ue. Host­ing in Azure Ger­many West Cen­tral or with STACKIT — EU data res­i­den­cy, Schrems II-compliant.

In your cloud

Deploy­ment in your own cloud sub­scrip­tion — Azure, AWS, GCP or Open­Stack. Full con­trol over net­work and data residency.

On-Premises

Runs in your own data cen­tre. Max­i­mum con­trol. Your data nev­er leaves your infrastructure.

Details under Secu­ri­ty & Com­pli­ance. Details on host­ing choice, respon­si­bil­i­ties and migra­tion between mod­els can be found under Cloud & On-Premis­es.
