Define the shared standard

Start with the information every public employee identity should include. Agree on naming, roles, organization details, visual treatment, and the actions offered to visitors.

Balance central control and individual input

Organization-owned fields can protect consistency while personal fields allow relevant expertise and contact preferences. Make it clear who can change each part.

  • Use one approved organization identity
  • Create templates for common roles
  • Review changes and departures promptly
  • Avoid collecting information without a clear purpose

Make accuracy routine

Identity quality is an operational practice, not a one-time design project. Include profile checks in role changes, team reviews, and offboarding.
