It follows that the creation and control of personnel records are critical to the success of an organization's operations. The effective management of personnel records enables organizations to manage their employees efficiently and equitably, encourages informed and consistent decision making, supports transparency and accountability and facilitates the monitoring and evaluation of staff performance.
