An employee card is, as the name suggests, a card which has the pertinent information for a given employee, as well as links to all the possible actions which could be taken relevant to that employee.

To access an employee card, simply go to:

People -> Employees

On doing so, you are then taken to the Employee cards page where you'll see a Filter option and a drop-down populated with employee names. Click the name of the employee and their Employee card is loaded or alternatively you can also filter the list using the metadata options. 

The Employee card will always include such fields as the Employee's name and image but you can also set what fields are displayed by navigating to Company -> Admin -> Settings -> Display Settings -> Employee module and setting 'Default employee module view' to 'Card', which will then bring up the available option.
