As your company expands, keeping track of your human resources requirements

can become difficult. Even a relatively small workforce can present a number of

logistical problems, particularly when it comes to the administration of things like

benefits, sick leave, promotions and so on. Thankfully, technology has provided a

potential answer: HRIS, or Human Resources Information Systems. HRISpackages provide businesses with a means by which they can keep track of their

human resources needs, and fulfil those needs in a cost- and time-efficient

manner.

Characteristics

HRIS systems are, in essence, large databases. Depending on the size and

nature of your organisation, your HRIS system might consist of a single database

or a number of interconnected ones. These databases will store basic employee

information (such as personal details, company role, salary etc), as well as

information regarding benefits administration, payroll and an almost limitless

range of other aspects of human resources. Furthermore, a good HRIS system

will allow you to keep track of employment applications; for example, you might

be able to store and review CVs, and search for suitable previous applicants

when a new vacancy arises.

Options for Administrating Benefits

One of the major benefits of an HRIS system is that it will offer you (or your

human resources department) access to visual representations of attendance

and leave figures, as well as performance history for each of your staff.

Furthermore, more advanced HRIS systems will allow you to pinpoint employees

with particularly high potential, or those who are exceeding their targets. This willhelp to ensure that you can make informed judgements regarding promotions.

HRIS and Benefits

When administering a benefits system, HRIS systems can be hugely useful. This

is particularly the case for larger organisations, or those that choose to operate a

voluntary employee benefits scheme. Many HRIS companies provide solutions

whereby an employee can view information regarding their attendance, sick

leave and so on. Similarly, they can log in to a portal, showing them details of

the benefits to which they are entitled. This is particularly useful for voluntary

benefits schemes as it removes the necessity for any action on the part of theemployer. Furthermore, some HRIS systems allow employees to view their

performance and review their progress; this is very useful if you are operating an

incentives scheme. Furthermore, utilising HRIS for your benefits administration

can be useful from an employers point of view as it will enable you to keep track

of which benefits are most frequently used, as well as offering information on the

relative returns on each of these investments.

Installing and administering an HRIS system can be a complex task. There are a

huge number of HRIS solutions available, but each of these will require some

customisation in order to ensure that they are fulfilling the needs of your

organisation. However, most reputable commercial HRIS providers will offer

personalised support in the deployment phases, meaning that there should not

be any necessity to employ a contractor to do the job for you; rather, your

provider will be able to guide you through the process.

n today's corporate world human resources has come to play a very critical role

in a business. Whether it concerns the hiring and firing of employees orwhether it concerns employee motivation, the Human Resources department ofany organization now enjoys a very central role in not only formulatingcompany policies, but also in streamlining the business process.To make a human resource department more effective and efficient new

technologies are now being introduced on a regular basis so make things much

simpler and more modernized. One of the latest human resource technologies

is the introduction of a Human Resources Information System (HRIS); this

integrated system is designed to help provide information used in HR decisionmaking such as administration, payroll, recruiting, training, and performance

analysis.

Human Resource Information System (HRIS) merges human resource

management with information technology to not only simplify the decision

making process, but also aid in complex negotiations that fall under the human

resource umbrella. The basic advantage of a Human Resource Information

System (HRIS) is to not only computerize employee records and databases but

to maintain an up to date account of the decisions that have been made or that

need to be made as part of a human resource management plan.

The four principal areas of HR that are affected by the Human Resource

Information System (HRIS) include; payroll, time and labor management,

employee benefits and HR management. These four basic HR functionalities are

not only made less problematic, but they are ensured a smooth running,

without any hitch. A Human Resources Information System (HRIS) thus permits

a user to see online a chronological history of an employee from his /her

position data, to personal details, payroll records, and benefits information.

The advantage of a Human Resource Information System (HRIS) in payroll isthat it automates the entire payroll process by gathering and updating

employee payroll data on a regular basis. It also gathers information such as

employee attendance, calculating various deductions and taxes on salaries,

generating automatic periodic paychecks and handling employee tax reports.

With updated information this system makes the job of the human resource

department very easy and simple as everything is available on a 24x7 basis, and

all the information is just a click away.

In time and labor management a Human Resource Information System (HRIS) isadvantageous because it lets human resource personnel apply new technologies

to effectively gather and appraise employee time and work information. It lets

an employee's information be easily tracked so that it can be assessed on a

more scientific level whether an employee is performing to their full potential

or not, and if there are any improvements that can be made to make an

employee feel more secure.

Employee benefits are very crucial because they help to motivate an employee

to work harder. By using a Human Resource Information System (HRIS) in

employee benefits, the human resource department is able to keep better

track of which benefits are being availed by which employee and how each

employee is profiting from the benefits provided.

A Human Resource Information System (HRIS) also has advantages in HR

management because it curtails time and cost consuming activities leading to a

more efficient HR department. This system reduces the long HR paper trail that

is often found in most HR divisions of companies and leads to more productive

and conducive department on the whole.
