Bus/Financial - IT (Information Technology) / personnel management system | | German term or phrase: Aktentourismus | Can anyone think of a snappy translation for this term? I can find examples of its use, all in german, on Google, but have racked my brains to think of an English equivalent other than "document movements"
The text is talking about an electronic personnel archive system to avoid things like "Aktentourismus"
e.g. **Aktentourismus** (Umorganisationen, Ausgliederungen, Versetzungen)
Many thanks! |
