Would we know who to contact if something happened to you at work?

For over 70% of you, the answer is no. I know no one likes to think about those worst-case scenarios, but unfortunately they happen, and when they do, time can be of the essence.

The good news is that updating your emergency contact information in BannerWeb takes less than 5 minutes to do. We are asking ALL employees to complete the following steps to ensure that up-to-date emergency contact information is available in the case of an emergency. (In addition, this process includes steps to review your current home address and phone number on file.)

Hiring Managers – Please print and post these print-friendly instructions next to workstations so that employees with limited computer access can complete these steps the next time that they enter their time in BannerWeb.
