Follow this guide to view contact information for employees, emergency contacts, and company service providers using the Phone Book in Humanforce WFM (Web).
The Phone Book provides quick access to contact details such as phone numbers, mobile numbers, and roles; useful for managers or supervisors who may not have full access to Employee Management, but need to contact team members or emergency services.
