Employment History

Employment History

Maintaining a well documented employment history system is a key function of human resource information administrators.

A well thought out and comprehensive system provides significant value to an organization. In addition to documenting an employee's progression with the organization, effective systems allow human resource administrators to 'look across employees' and study the organization in its entirety.

For example, effective HR systems should be able to answer the following questions:

  • how many people do we have, categorized by job title?
  • what are the reporting relationship?
  • what is our ratio of full-time to part-time, or male to female, or plumbers to welders?
  • how long does someone stay in any given job?
  • what is my normal attrition rate?

Of course the more reporting and decision making tools your HR system provides the more effective your organization will become at planning and developing your workforce.
