Welcome to HRIS system

Well, in my 1^st week class, I was exploring to what is HRIS system about it. HRIS usually merged with information technology to focus on human resource management. This system consolidates computerized employee data into one data bank and its updates prior and future decisions according to the company's human resource management plan. Meanwhile, HRIS also makes it possible for online users to view an employee's history with the company, personal profile and benefits. In other words, it can be defined as a system that is a database designed that allow us to seek of all sorts of personal related information such tasks as capable to identifying and tracking contacts with applicants, maintain essential data on the status of each employee in the company, and in general make the process of Human Resources management much easier to maintain.

Apart for it components, HRIS is consists with a crucial components of human resource such as payroll, time and labour management, benefits for the employees and HR management. HRIS also tracks the employees' progress. It stores information with regard to the employee's time and work efficiency. HRIS traces the benefits availed by these employees and ensures that such benefits are timely and effective.

Based on the information as showing above, I’ve a clearly view that how is important HRIS system can be practice in our today’s organization or company. The information technology itself is expected to drive Human Resource transition from a focus on traditional transaction processing systems (manually-using paperwork) to a Strategic Human Resource Management. There are two ways of suggestion how to implementing HRIS in HRM. The first is the administrative use. This refers to the storing and consolidating of employee records that is used for daily operation. Administrative HRIS is always integrated with information technology. The second implementation is called Strategic HRIS which mainly aids the decision-making process. It involves using the administrative information to analyse an employee's value to the company. This is the important to those involved in the recruitment and retention of people.

In conclusion, The HRIS System is capable of handling all types of Human Resource functions.  HRIS as a whole mainly improves information sharing and communication between the company and the employees. HRIS made it easy for the human resources department to smoothly operate all components.
