York University staff make it easier for teams to connect and collaborate. Sharing an employee directory as part of onboarding can help new hires get up to speed faster by quickly locating relevant team members. This resource is also helpful for existing employees who may need to find a teammate’s email or phone number for an urgent matter. Rather than relying on old-fashioned paper or spreadsheets to manage your employee directory, consider using an org chart software solution that supports advanced search functions.
Creating Stronger Company Culture and Community
Employee directories can help build trust by putting faces to names. By listing all employees’ full names, department/team and job titles, users can easily identify colleagues and their roles within the organization. This information is also useful when collaborating with colleagues from other departments or offices as it provides context for where each person is located.
In addition, if your team has remote workers, adding each employee’s photo helps create a sense of cohesion despite geographical distances. Including information about each employee’s location and time zone further helps to narrow down options for finding a meeting time that works for everyone.
ClickUp’s All-in-One Project Management app has a built-in employee directory template that makes it easy to manage your teammate’s contact list. With pre-built views, custom fields and custom statuses you can create a directory that meets the needs of your team. Plus, it’s integrated with your workspace so that key teammate information is accessible in one place at all times.
