Using the tools linked earlier in the thread may also be overkill if you only want a single field linked.

You can edit the Title property of the CC to show up as Employee Name if you like.
See Repeating Data Using Document Properties Content Controls and Other Mapped Content Controls.

These are used the same way as mapped controls. You create one and set it up the way you want. Then you copy and paste where you want the information replicated. Unlike the Ref field, this is a two-way connection and updates automatically.
