Duplicating (data validiation) Drop Down selection to another worksheet using VBA

I'm creating a calendar that has specific employees listed in a number of rows and columns corresponding with a date/time. I've used data validation to select the employees needed in these time slots, with the drop downs occurring in many rows and columns.

I have found some VBA code that allows me to select multiple users via dropdown list, sorted by a comma, and would like to find a way to have those selections copied to another worksheet in a "all column". My intention is to see what % of total time available each employee is scheduled in a workweek.

My ideal result would be: select employee from drop down > name is copied to a column in another worksheet. If the name is removed from the drop down cell, it is removed from the target worksheet.

Below is the code I have borrowed so far (I'm very new at this):

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)Dim rngDV As Range
Dim oldVal As String
Dim newVal As String
Dim strVal As String
Dim i As Long
Dim lCount As Long
Dim Ar As Variant
On Error Resume Next
Dim lType As Long
If Target.Count > 1 Then GoTo exitHandler


lType = Target.Validation.Type
If lType = 3 Then
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    newVal = Target.Value
    Application.Undo
    oldVal = Target.Value
    Target.Value = newVal
    
        If oldVal = "" Then
            
        Else
            If newVal = "" Then
                
            Else
                On Error Resume Next
                Ar = Split(oldVal, ", ")
                strVal = ""
                For i = LBound(Ar) To UBound(Ar)
                    Debug.Print strVal
                    Debug.Print CStr(Ar(i))
                    If newVal = CStr(Ar(i)) Then
                        
                        strVal = strVal
                        lCount = 1
                    Else
                        strVal = strVal & CStr(Ar(i)) & ", "
                    End If
                Next i
                If lCount > 0 Then
                    Target.Value = Left(strVal, Len(strVal) - 2)
                Else
                    Target.Value = strVal & newVal
                End If
            End If
        
    End If
End If


exitHandler:
  Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
