What does the HR Profile store?

The HR Profile is a crucial component of the ServiceNow HR Service Delivery suite, designed specifically to store confidential and sensitive employee data. This data typically includes personal information such as names, contact details, employment history, and other relevant data that is necessary for managing human resources effectively. The focus on confidentiality is paramount as this information must be protected according to various privacy regulations and organizational policies.

In contrast, company policies, financial data, and performance evaluations, while important, are managed in different areas of the HR service management system. Company policies would be accessible more broadly and are often stored in knowledge bases or policy management modules, whereas financial data would fall under financial management systems. Performance evaluations may be documented and tracked within performance management modules but do not reside within the HR Profile itself. Thus, the emphasis on storing confidential employee data makes this the correct identification of what the HR Profile stores within ServiceNow.
