It's important to show only the information that the user needs or requested. The user won't care about other data displayed on the screen that doesn't have anything to do with the information requested.
Displaying more information or extra details that are not needed would only confuse the user and also slow the process. For example, imagine having this data:
Some datapoints from the list above could be omitted, depending on which information the user needs to consult. By doing an overview visualization, maybe the user would only like to see the employee's name, role and id.
