A Salesforce associate is asked to add a new employee record to their client.

 The Contact object is where the associate should add the new employee record. The Contact object is used to store information about individuals who are associated with an account, such as name, phone, email, title, and role. The Contact object has a lookup relationship with the Account object, which allows the user to select an account that the contact is related to. The Accounts object is used to store information about companies or organizations that are customers, partners, or competitors. The Accounts object does not store information about individual employees. The Leads object is used to store information about potential customers who have shown interest in a product or service, but have not yet been qualified. The Leads object does not store information about existing employees.
