New Phonebook Awesomeness! (Integration of LDAP and WorkDay)

IT has been working with the HR team to make our staff phonebook more useable -- by syncing several fields with Workday (our HR system of record). Linking the two systems means the org chart in the phonebook is the same as it is in Workday, updated real-time.

The three fields that will be linked in phase one are:

  • Your manager
  • MozLocation (new field) : this is a new field that will use office names or designate you as a remote employee with province, state or country.
  • Team (new field): name of the team you belong to.

You will still be able to update the following info on your individual phonebook entry:

  • Indicate what projects you are working on
  • Update your photo (hint: add one if you don't have one!)
  • Update your office city and office country
  • All contact information

This change will go into effect on Friday, June 13th. We will follow- up on Monday, Jun 16th to make sure everything went okay.

Speakers

The limit is 3 minutes per speaker. It's like a lightning talk, but don't feel that you have to have slides in order to make a presentation. If you plan on showing a video, you need to contact the Air Mozilla team before the day of the meeting or you will be deferred to the next week.

Roundtable

Do you have a question about a Mozilla Project or initiative? Let us know by Friday- we'll do our best to get you an answer.

Please note that we may not always be able to get to every item on this list, but we will try!
