Find: Visual Employee Directories

Find Who You Are Looking For – Fast

In companies large and small, locating people with specific skills or in particular roles can be tough. The 'name and title' delivered by most corporate directories is not very helpful. It doesn't tell you what you really need to know – What department is the person in? Who are that person's peers? Who are their supervisors and subordinates? What is their chain of command? How do they relate to you? What is their sphere of responsibility?

Whether it's finding the person you need to solve a business problem or identifying all individuals who meet specific criteria, a visual employee directory provides rich information about an individual in the context of a person's position on the org chart. A visual employee directory aids understanding, so employees can find the right person to solve their particular problem – fast. The challenge of locating specific colleagues increases with:

• Geographically disbursed employees spanning offices or the entire globe
• Increasing ranks of telecommuters, outsourced groups, partners
• Growth or downsizing through mergers, acquisitions
• Dynamic project teams
• Higher concentrations of contractors, part time, contingent workers
• Workforce information housed in multiple systems

Simple Search, Comprehensive Results

Use OrgPlus visual employee directories to search simple or complex criteria on all employees for any business purpose - from locating an employee, to constructing project teams with specific skill sets. Even identify all employees who meet certain conditions, such as 'everyone who had a pay raise in the past year' or 'all engineers who have Flex programming skills.' Then view the results in an org chart to understand the information in context. The ability to find people, fast, helps build the organizational flexibility and agility you need to smooth geographic boundaries and adapt to changing business conditions.

Bring Everyone Together in a Single View

With OrgPlus' unique ability to combine information from multiple source systems, you can quickly create a single visual directory that shows all people regardless of whether their information is housed in an enterprise-wide HCM system or on a simple spreadsheet. Views can include employees, contractors - even partners who are part of your ecosystem - so your team can quickly find who they need and return to solving business issues.

Solve Many Search Challenges with a Single Solution

Use visual employee directories for:

• Employee search - View the organizational charts associated with every single employee. Access organization or division structure information and locate alternate contacts such as peers, subordinates or managers.
• Talent search - Identifying potential employees for project teams is far simpler when project leaders can locate employees that match a specific set of criteria, for example, engineers with French language skills in the Chicago office. OrgPlus' visual employee directory enables complex searches to find just the right person in the context of the organization's hierarchy.
• Distributed teams - Project team members are often separated by buildings, regions, or even oceans. With pictures, personal profiles and hierarchical views, the org chart as a visual directory facilitates team communication.
• HR management - Identifying ad hoc employee groups often requires a database administrator to run complex queries against enterprise systems. Through the visual employee directory, employees and HR managers can quickly and easily run their own queries without the cost of ERP licenses. Managers can search, sort or segment the employee population along any employee attribute or set of attributes, such as competencies, location, merit and more. Visual cues or unique views of the data can be used to identify employees that meet certain criteria.
