Helpful Employee Profile Fields
OfflineWe will soon be updating our employee profile/directory and I'm curious what fields beyond the standard you've found helpful for informational purposes OR in building engagement and connectivity within your organization. Also, if you have implemented related functionality (use of a folder for pictures, etc) I'd be interested to know about that as well. Thanks in advance!
Our current fields include: Name, title, start date, department, manager, contact info (very standard!)
We will be adding: Education history, Work history, Board/committee involvement, Preferred Pronoun

Besides the standards we have:
We find that people can write personal OR professional things in these fields, whatever their comfort level!
Molly Sproatt Christina Peschong - these are great! I've seen some interesting fields in my travels for sure. Jamie Manship , Nichole James - thought this discussion might be of interest...
Christina Peschong outside of the standard fields we also added:
When we rolled out the Premium Profile feature our engagement campaign started at the top. We had all our Senior leaders complete theirs along with all managers. We then launched our Premium profiles contest which consisted of 3 steps that needed to be completed to be eligible for a prize:
The 10 winners were randomly drawn from all those eligible and we held the contest over a 2 week period. If you have any other questions feel free to reach out
Can custom profile fields only be added with the costly Premium Profiles add-on, or is there a free solution included in Igloo? Asking here as we don't have a Customer Success Manager at the moment.
I would like the following fields in employee profiles:
1. Pronouns - we have currently implemented this by tacking pronouns on to the end of a person surname. By doing it this way we can easily see someone's pronouns from the lookup list.
I would prefer a separate field for pronouns however I would like this to be displayed with the member name on the member lookup list
In respect to data entry, please position this field close to the employee name on the Personal tab.
2. Employee number - we have currently implemented this by tacking it on to the end of the employer field. It would be preferable if this was a separate field positioned somewhere at the top of the screen
3. Working times - we have currently implemented this by including it in the about free format text. It would be preferable if this was a separate field (positioned top RHS)
I assume that any additional fields will also be available in the member extract.
Kind Regards
Louise
Can you also display the members user name on the profile screen.
Currently, this is only displayed on the list
