Staff Profile: Emergency Contacts

Add, edit, delete or prioritise a team member's emergency contact (next of kin) in their Staff Profile

Emergency contacts are the people to call if something happens to a team member at work. A team member can have more than one, and you can mark one as the priority. An emergency contact doesn't have to be a relative. Choose someone who could reach the team member quickly, such as a partner, housemate, friend or family member nearby.

📲 Using the Alkimii mobile app? See Emergency contacts on mobile.

Who can see emergency contacts

What you can see depends on your access level in Alkimii. If you have access, emergency contacts appear in the Staff Profile Summary for quick reference.

The information usually comes from the Starter Pack the team member completes during onboarding in HR Automation. See Starter Pack guide. 

🔐 Restricted Access: If you can't see emergency contacts and think you should, contact HR or your system administrator.
