My InTRodUcTiOn to HRIS

I actually have no idea bout dis subject. But since IS stand for Information System, so that i got an expectation which dis subject teach us what system in every HR department in organization must have, should own and it really got certain and special system which is functional to operate HR system. All i know, HR got lots of things to manage, organize and etc. For instance, payroll got own system on how to calculate and key-in data for employees payment and salary. Also in employee relations in which all cases that happen must be recorded and file it. It use so much more folder, data bases and system in order to make it easy to manage.

Before we go through, we need to know what is HRIS is all about. The Human Resource Information System (HRIS) is a software or online solution for the data entry, data tracking, and data information needs of the Human Resources, payroll, management, and accounting functions within a business. Normally packaged as a data base, hundreds of companies sell some form of HRIS and every HRIS has different capabilities. 

Typically, the better The Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) provide overall:
  • Management of all employee information.
  • Reporting and analysis of employee information.
  • Company-related documents such as employee handbooks, emergency evacuation procedures, and safety guidelines.
  • Benefits administration including enrollment, status changes, and personal information updating.
  • Complete integration with payroll and other company financial software and accounting systems. 
  • Applicant tracking and resume management.
An effective HRIS provides information on just about anything the company needs to track and analyze about employees, former employees, and applicants. An appropriate HRIS, Human Resources staff enables employees to do their own benefits updates and address changes, thus freeing HR staff for more strategic functions. Additionally, data necessary for employee management, knowledge development, career growth and development, and equal treatment is facilitated. Finally, managers can access the information they need to legally, ethically, and effectively support the success of their reporting employees.

Before all this happen, HR system is more to book keeping or data keeping by using files or we can say it keep the employees data manually and the roles of HR is not too much just like this new era. The old roles or system of HR is called a transactional activities. Another activities that HR established in order to manage focus on HR such as compensation, selection and more is called traditional while transformational is more to the expanded on th HR functions such as training, career development, employee relation and so forth. According to the history of three era in which are pre-world war II, post-world war II and social issue era, these era shown the expansion of HR management by using the systematic approach and compare with before the world war happen, HR has no specific system and was called as a caretaker in managing the documentation and system by records manually. After world war and the world or company was introduced by new technology, they started to compete in systemize and expand their function and roles of HR.
