Opt out of having your profile photo displayed in the employee application

Employees can now choose to hide their profile photo in the employee application, offering greater privacy and control over their personal visibility in the workplace.

This option allows employees to maintain a level of privacy and control over their personal information within the workplace environment. By selecting this feature, employees can decide whether they want their image to be visible to colleagues and team members, fostering a more comfortable space for those who may prefer anonymity or who are not yet fully acclimated to the organizational culture.

This flexibility is particularly beneficial for new hires who may still be in the process of establishing their identity within the team.

In order to opt out of having your profile photo displayed in the employee application, log in to the Nurture Employee application. On the upper right-hand side, click on the Employee Profile Photo then My Profile from the dropdown. 

Image: Employee application > My profile

My profile page will open. Look for Profile > Display profile picture toggle.

Image: Employee application > Application Categories > My profile

Click the toggle to enable or disable displaying your profile picture in the Employee application. When toggle is set to off the following warning appears:

Image: Display my profile image toggle > Attention pop up

When disabled a default placeholder will appear instead of the employee profile image.

The profile image will look like in the image below:

Image: Employee application > My profile

To re-enable the display of your profile image, simply toggle the switch back to the 'on' position.

Notes:

This feature not only promotes a sense of security and comfort among employees but also encourages open communication and collaboration without the pressure of personal exposure. For instance, individuals who might feel anxious about being seen or recognized in a new work setting can engage more freely in discussions and contribute their ideas without the added concern of being visually identified. This can lead to a more inclusive atmosphere where employees feel empowered to share their thoughts, fostering a culture of innovation and teamwork.

By allowing employees the choice to control their visibility, the organization demonstrates its commitment to respecting personal boundaries and enhancing employee well-being. This thoughtful approach can significantly improve job satisfaction and retention rates, as employees are more likely to remain in an environment that values their privacy and individual preferences.
