You can customise how your name and pronouns appear in in Symplectic and your Discovery staff profile. This includes: 

• Hiding or showing your title (e.g., Mrs, Dr) 

• Setting a preferred first name and/or surname (different from your HR record) 

• Adding pronouns (displayed below your name) 

These settings do not change your official HR record. They only affect how your information is displayed in Symplectic and Discovery. 

To access these settings in Symplectic: 

• Login to Symplectic 

• Click the menu in the top left corner 

• Go to My Profile > About Me > Set Preferred Name. 
  
  

  Title 

  Your title is pulled automatically from the HR system. If you do not want your title displayed, you can tick the option to hide it in Symplectic. 
  
  
  
  If you do not choose to hide your title, it will display above your name on your Discovery staff profile. 
  
  

  
  Preferred name 

  You can set a preferred first name and/or surname if you use a different name than the one stored in the HR system. This is useful if your professional and legal names differ (e.g. using a maiden name professionally while your married name is held in HR).  
  
  

  
  Pronouns 

  You can add your pronouns to Symplectic, and they will appear under your name on your Symplectic profile page. If you have a public Discovery profile, your pronouns will also be displayed there.
