Employee Name Recording
Striven has a unique feature to record the pronunciation of Employee names to help other users avoid any confusion or miscommunication when contacting an Employee whose name may be unfamiliar to them. If the Employee’s name has been recorded, a Speaker icon is displayed next to the My Profile – Info page title, which you can click to hear the recording. If the name has not yet been recorded, a Microphone icon will display.

If you have the “Employee Name Recording – Add/Edit Own Name Recording” permission included in your User Role, you can click the Microphone icon next to the My Profile – Info page title to display the Recorder popup.
