Clean way to associate employee with manager

I have an Umbraco site where the admin creates employees.
Each employee needs to be associated with a manager. I can create a manager data type and add values on there but most people won't have access to that section of Umbraco.
What would be a better alternative to allow content creators to select a manager for each employee AND to create a new manager as and when they require?
Thx
