How to Build a Reliable Single Source of Truth for Employee Records

A practical model for deciding which employee fields matter, who owns them, and how to stop spreadsheets from quietly disagreeing.

Turn recurring HR work into a visible operating cadence covering records, leave, access, reviews, and policy upkeep.

Collect only what the business needs, control access, and make missing documents easy to resolve without endless email threads.

A simple framework for routing HR letters, profile changes, leave exceptions, and policy questions to the right owner.

A field-by-field migration playbook for duplicates, missing values, inconsistent dates, and records nobody trusts.

A buyer’s framework focused on daily workflows, ownership, implementation effort, and the next two years—not a feature-count contest.
