Employee data migration in SAP CRM

Hi,

As per my understanding we can get employee master data in SAP CRM using HR ALE interface from ECC.

But in our project we do not have that provision is there any other way we can upload employee data in SAP CRM. Can we use LSMW or BAPI program to create employee. It will be great help if some one can provide some insight.

Thanks,
