1. via the employee card pop-up presented upon completion of [creating the employee](https://tangram.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TGKB/pages/1414234246)

## UPDATE PROFILE PICTURE

Assigning a profile picture to an employee is a recommended process, as it helps to distinguish between resources easily.  

Employees can update their own profile pictures in **my settings**, or administrators can also update an employee’s profile picture in the **resources** module via the **information** tab. 

- Hover the mouse over on the **profile picture box **with the employee’s initials or the existing profile picture.
- The different options will now be displayed and allowed you to select
  - :Magnify: to zoom in the profile picture
  - :trashbin: to remove the existing profile picture
  - :upload: to upload the new profile picture
- Click the **upload** icon

- Select your **image** > click **open**

- The employee now has a new profile picture
