Certainly, the employee database, business cards, wall and desk placards, email and voicemail information should be updated with the new information. One problem, however, is it may not be possible to change all personnel and administrative records. If the employee has been with the organization for a long time, there are years of previous records, which would be burdensome to change. This can be a difficult administrative problem to address.
