I need to put together some org charts for our company and I'm having a hard time. We've got almost 10,000 employees and we're using PeopleSoft. We maintain our reporting relationships by entering a supervisor for each employee at the employee level. People have been less than vigilant about keeping this up to date, and consequently we've got all kinds of weird things going on - employees reporting to terminated managers, VPs reporting to secretaries, employees without supervisors, etc.. I would really like to hear from anyone whose faced a similar problem and learn what you did to resolve it. Any adive or suggestion would be much appreciated. |

Allison,
Hopefully you know by now that you are not alone in this context; plenty of other companies have the same problem. I may sound a little biased here towards a technical solution since I do work for an HR sw development company and we do provide a web based self service solution to this problem, but the solution is really vendor and technology independent. You need an automated way to manage the transactions that impact reporting relationships; things like Transfers, Promotions, Separations, and New Hires. Within those automated transactions, you can also ensure that no employees are "orphaned" and that there is always a valid, current, supervisor id populated for each employee. After you have the transactional systems in place to maintain that data, you can apply any number of products to build the org charts you are looking for because you have a legitimate hierarchy to start with. Our web based manager self service software is designed to keep your data from living in the state you describe (as are plenty of other vendor and home grown solutions). Let me know if you have any questions. Peter Leavitt Interlynx Technology 1-800-994-5969 |
