    Job applications, overtime reports, employment contracts, reference letters, termination notices, and many other documents are filed and processed daily in human resources departments. The associated documents pile up into chaotic mountains of paperwork, and the underlying processes are virtually impossible to manage manually. The solution for human resources management is the digital personnel record (also known as an electronic personnel record or digital employee record).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The purpose of the digital personnel record is to manage all employee documents that are relevant to the employment relationship. With a digital personnel record, the necessary documents and information are stored and processed digitally using software. This simplifies administrative tasks for HR professionals and makes the entire HR process more efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n
