Index Match not returning correct values

I am attempting to create a xls that allows the user to input a Emp Id under the correct Manager category that will lookup the Manager name for another worksheet.  What am I missing.  I have included a sample file.

Data extract sheet the user inputs the ID and return the name, except my version is not returning the correct manager name, except for col D:E.

What am I doing wrong:

=IFERROR(INDEX('EMP LIST'!$A:$A,MATCH(1,'EMP LIST'!H2,0)),'EMP LIST'!$B:$B)

Open in new window

In every one of the formulas INDEX('EMP LIST'!$A:$A,MATCH(1,'EMP LIST'!H2,0)) returns an error so the formula actually returns the value from 'EMP LIST'$A:$A that corresponds to the row the formula is in.

What IDs/values are you actually trying to lookup?

If the user enters the value (ID) in Col A ManagerID I want the correlated name displayed in Col b and the same for each of the different ID columns.SR_MANAGER_ID col(D)
Col A ManagerID , should return Col(B) - Manager Name
Col(d) - Sr_Manager_ID, should return Col(E) - Sr Manager Name
,DIRECTOR_ID (col F) should return Col(g) -  Director Name
