Pronouns

Using pronouns in Cezanne HR gives employees the freedom to write their own pronouns as part of their personal information. Pronouns can then be displayed in different places across the system, such as:

  • An employee's Personal Summary
  • Person Headers
  • Contacts List
  • People Searches

This is a simple and effective way to ensure that employees are aware of their colleagues' pronouns and can easily find them to make sure they are using the correct ones.

Note:

  • Pronouns will only appear by default in an employee's Personal Summary and in the people search.
    • For pronouns to appear in the Person Header and the Contacts List, HR Professionals must configure them to appear. For more information, see: Configuring where people pronouns appear in Cezanne below.

  • If this is not set up already, navigate to: Administration >> Setup & Security >> Processes >> Activate Process Flows >> Myself to activate it. For more information, see: Edit My Details Processes.
