We're excited to announce an upcoming enhancement designed to improve the accessibility and management of crucial worker information. Soon, emergency contact details collected during the onboarding process will be seamlessly integrated into the personal details section of each worker's profile. This update ensures that this vital information is readily available when needed most.
Currently, emergency contact details are captured during the initial onboarding flow. Recognizing the importance of this information for all workers, regardless of their onboarding status, we are making these fields visible and editable directly within their details.
The following fields will be included:
- Emergency Contact Name
- Emergency Contact Phone
- Emergency Contact Address
To provide a personalized experience, users will have the flexibility to control the visibility of these columns using the column settings feature. Furthermore, these fields can be easily added to the general details view of a worker's profile, ensuring quick access to this critical data.
Fully Configurable
- Column Settings: Admins can choose to display these fields in the worker table using the column settings.
- General Details Tab: Emergency contact info also appears in the general details view for quick access.
- Works for existing workers, not just new hires.
This enhancement aims to:
- Improve Accessibility: Make emergency contact information easily accessible within the worker's profile.
- Enhance Data Management: Allow administrators and relevant personnel to view and update emergency contact details quickly.
- Increase Flexibility: Enable users to customize their view by selecting the emergency contact columns and adding them to the general details section.
- Ensure Data Completeness: Provide a way to manage emergency contact information even for workers who did not go through the onboarding flow.
Why This Matters
Increased Safety Readiness
In case of a medical emergency or workplace incident, having accurate contact info on hand helps your team act quickly and appropriately.
Always Up to Date
No need to rely on onboarding-only data. Now, emergency contacts can be added or updated as roles, locations, or life situations change.
Admin-Friendly Control
With configurable visibility, admins can decide when and where to display this information—whether for compliance, HR workflows, or internal audits.
Consistency Across the Platform
By integrating this info into both the profile and table views, we've made it easier to manage at scale—without creating data silos.
This update reflects our ongoing commitment to providing a comprehensive and user-friendly platform that prioritizes the well-being and safety of your workforce. Stay tuned for the release!
