Personnel files need far more attention, organization and management than most people realize. They not only provide a solid history of an individual's employment at a company, but they also serve as a reference as to an individual's current status, accomplishments, performance notes (good and bad), performance reviews, benefits information and personal information. A fully functional personnel file should consist of approximately 20 areas of documentation. Wonder what you're missing?
As important as what is included in a personnel file, is what is not included. Not everything should be in the primary personnel file. Are you keeping sensitive and restricted data separate? Reviewing personnel files is one of the 15 key areas in which Coatney West audits. We can definitely help you out in this area. |
