How to Use Office 365 and SharePoint to Create an Employee Directory
Creating an employee directory using Office 365 and SharePoint is simple and efficient for organizations in India and the USA. Start by defining essential information like name, job title, department, email, phone number, and profile photo. Use a SharePoint List to store this data securely and configure columns for each field. Set permissions carefully so HR or admins can edit, while employees have read-only access. Customize list views and filters for departments, locations, or roles to make it easy to find employees. Embed the list on a SharePoint page using web parts or create a dynamic interface with Power Apps for profile cards and advanced search. Integration with Azure Active Directory can automatically populate user details, while Microsoft Teams allows access to the directory within daily collaboration tools. With cloud-based updates, the directory stays accurate, enhancing communication, visibility, and productivity across the organization.
