The Who's who WebPart is one of the key components of the Mozzaik365 Digital Workplace . This module allows you to visualize all the company's human resources and to find the right contact in a few clicks.

The Who's who WebPartof the Mozzaik365 intranet is thus a lever of choice to fluidify inter-team communication , encourage internal collaboration, simplify knowledge sharing between employees or facilitate the integration of new recruits. So many benefits that explain its success with our customers.

Committed to continuously improving the user experience of the organization's stakeholders, the Mozzaik365 team recently updated the Who's who feature. The goal: to make it even more aesthetic and functional.

In this article, Mozzaik365 goes over the various features expected of a good corporate Who's who and tells you more about the redesign of the Mozzaik365 Digital Workplace Who's who Widget .

1. What is a company's Who's who?

Before getting to the heart of the matter, let's briefly recall what a Who's who is, and what its purpose is.

1.1 Who's who: definition

A corporate Who's who is a visual support that gathers  photos of all an organization's stakeholders.

More than just a collection of faces, a modern Who's who also serves as a company directory and organization chart.

Integrated into the company's intranet , it provides access to employees' professional contact information and allows each person to be placed in the company's hierarchy.

1.2 What is a modern company's Who's who made of?

Typically, a Corporate Who's Who 2.0 consists of the following elements:

  • The information sheets on the employees with their photograph and various data such as their contact details, their skills, their projects or their past experiences.
  • An organization chart showing the hierarchical structure of the company.
  • A search bar designed to navigate through the Who's who.
  • An "edit" option to update user pages.

1.3. What is the purpose of a company's Who's who?

Despite its basic appearance, the Who's who is an essential tool for companies.

This tool has many benefits for employees as it allows them to :

  • Consult their colleagues profiles in order to know their contact information, function, skills, expertise, responsibilities, past projects and their interests;
  • Contact a teammate via email in an instant, simply by clicking on the appropriate link ;
  • Find the business expert or in-house skills they need at a glance with the integrated search engine;
  • Visualize the company's structure  and easily understand the roles and responsibilities of each person in the form of an organization chart;
  • Introduce yourself to the group in a meaningful way, simply by editing your profile and providing the information you want (career path, achievements, skills, interests, etc.).

As we can see, the company's Who's who has significant benefits for employees and, by extension, for the entire organization.

Ultimately, thanks to this tool, stakeholders integrate more easily, feel more recognized by the group, access knowledge more quickly and collaborate more easily with their colleagues.

The result is better talent retention, increased collective intelligence and, quite simply, greater team productivity.

But be careful, not all Who's whos are the same...

✅ Keeping your Who's who up to date.

To avoid relaying false or obsolete information via your intranet, invite your employees to update their profile regularly.

✅ Evangelizing employees, especially Managers, to spread the use of the Who's who throughout the organization;

✅ Integrate the Who's who into your Onboarding process to make new hires aware of the benefits of this tool and improve their onboarding ;

✅ Customizing your company's Who's who by adding fields if the standard setting does not meet all your needs.

By following these tips, you'll get the most out of your business directory.

The enhancements to the Mozzaik365 Digital Workplace 's Who's who Widget serve two main purposes.

👉 The new Who's who aims first and foremost to make internal collaboration more fluid, especially in hybrid and teleworking situations. By making it even easier to find and identify contacts, it allows users of the Digital Workplace to work together more effectively, even from a distance or when they belong to different departments.

👉 Moreover, the new version of the Who's who is intended to adapt to the specific context of each company. The WebPart thus becomes fully customizable, both in terms of employee profiles and search options (search suggestions, filters, scope of profiles included in the search).
