New staff search to launch

Wednesday, 15 January 2014

A new staff directory and search function will launch at the beginning of February, making it easier to find colleagues' contact details, and enabling users to edit their own telephone number.

The existing staff directory is to be merged with the Trent HR system, meaning that individual staff names, job titles and departments will be populated straight from Trent, and new members of staff will be automatically included in the directory. This will remove the need for requests for people to be added to the directory or to change existing details, and will ensure that the data is more accurate and up to date.

Improvements are also being made to the search function, so it will now be possible to search by first name, job title and department, as well as combinations of these search terms.

The new system is scheduled to go live in early February.

In order to ensure as much of the data is correct as possible before the new search goes live, all users will receive an email with instructions for updating their work phone/extension number in the coming weeks.
