Maintaining a High Profile

The Online Media and Mobile Applications Office kindly asks you to take a few minutes to update the information on your personal page on the HSE University website (or make sure that it is up-to-date). Read on to learn how this helps to make life at the university more comfortable.

It will be easier for others to contact you

An employee’s personal page includes their contact information: their HSE University phone extension, address, and office number. Website users can also find out from managers about when employees are in the office and have consultation hours, as well as the contact details of deputies and assistants.

It will be clear what issues people can contact you about

It is recommended that you include information on your role and responsibilities on your personal page. This helps to ensure that employees contact the right person and not distract those who cannot help.

It will be easier to navigate the university’s intricate organisational structure

An employee’s personal page includes information on their position and department. This information is added to the page automatically. Pages also include information on an employee’s manager. This must be added manually. It is possible to include several managers.

You can find colleagues with similar interests

Many employees include their research interests on their personal pages. This has helped people to find partners for complex interdisciplinary projects many times. Researchers, lecturers, and administrative staff can all list their research interests.

It helps to build partner relations

Your personal profile page is your business card. Colleagues from other universities and business partners can find valuable information on your profile. Listing your publications will help to make connections in the academic environment. Your personal page is also available in English, which helps to share cutting-edge research across borders.

People will smile at you more

Make sure to upload a high-quality photo to your personal profile page. This will help hugely with everyday communication. It also makes it easier for new colleagues to figure out who’s who. And people will always smile at you on the way to the dining hall!

If you have any questions about filling in your personal page, you can contact your department’s personal profile page coordinator. The team of the Online Media and Mobile Applications Office has also put together detailed instructions, including answers to almost every question that has come up since the university started maintaining employee personal pages. Please note that some information (such your education history, academic credentials, and position) is added to your profile automatically from the HR database based on the documents you have provided.
