In this guide, we'll cover how to add your people to Breathe - either individually, or in bulk, to save time.

Please note, this guide is for users with admin or HR permissions within Breathe.

Included in this article:

Navigate to the top of any page and click 'add person'.

Then you can simply fill out the details to add your employee in.

Fields marked with an * must be filled in.

Don't worry if you haven't set up working patterns or holiday allowances yet - you can assign these later.

Simply click 'add person' and your employee will now be on the system.

To import your people in bulk, simply head to People > Data > Imports > Add New People

There are two templates you can choose from when uploading your people from the Add new people menu option - 'basic employee template' or 'full employee template'.

The 'basic employee template' is a great way to get your people into Breathe (and they can fill out the rest of their profile themselves, reducing your HR admin).

The 'full employee template' is a more comprehensive template with additional fields for further information to populate your peoples profiles.

Once you've downloaded the template by clicking on the light blue highlighted text, simply fill out the details & upload to the system on the same page by dragging and dropping or clicking into the "Upload your completed spreadsheet" field and pressing Import.

The system will take a few seconds and ask you to refresh, then your people will be added to your Breathe account.

You can find an in-depth guide on how to use the bulk upload function below:

All that's left to do now is to send the welcome email to your team, inviting them to Breathe.
