...INTRODUCTION TO HRIS An HRIS, the abbreviation for Human Resources Information System, is a system that lets you keep track of all your employees and information about them. It is usually done in a database or, more often, in a series of inter-related databases. A system which seeks to merge the activities associated with human resource management (HRM) and information technology (IT) into one common database through the use of enterprise resource planning (ERP) software. The goal of HRIS is to merge the different parts of human resources, including payroll, labor productivity, and benefit management into a less capital-intensive system than the mainframes used to manage activities in the past. It is a merger of HRM discipline with IT fields. The HRIS provides a method, by which an organization collects, maintains analyses & reports information on people& job.

...ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION This chapter gives the background of the study, statement of the problem, research objectives, and research questions, significance of the study, limitations of the study and scope of study. 1.1 Background to the Study Before the introduction of the HRIS too often, personnel files were not well kept. Storage rooms were often overcrowded and security was inadequate. Indexing procedures were not always in place and file tracking systems were often lacking. Many times the HR personnel in public service had no means of finding who had a file at any particular time, and files could not be retrieved without a major search being launched. This Human Resource information is key to making effective strategic decisions. Therefore, the use of Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) has been advocated as an opportunity for human resource (HR) professionals to contribute to organizational strategy. According to Lengnick-Hall, Mark & Moritz (2003) HRIS is a system used to acquire, store, manipulate, analyze, retrieve and distribute pertinent information about an organization’s human resources. It is often regarded as a service provided to an organization in the form of information. Human resources and information technology are the two elements that many firms are learning to use as strategic weapons to compete (Ball, 2001). HRIS are expected to make the HR function more efficient but the question remains whether HRIS has lived to this. HRIS are designed...

...Riordan Manufacturing LT B: Novelette Anglin, Tina Greenlee, Tyracia Johnson, Melissa Richard, Rachel Ribar, Scott Scansen HRM/319 December 5, 2011 Suzan Jackson, MA, PHR Introduction A. Initial Steps to Design HRIS for Riordan Human resources are the fit between the individual and the organization (Gallos, 2006). This means when there is a decision to use a Human Resource Information System (HRIS) or change one that is in place, there are some very critical steps that have to occur. Learning Team B will briefly cover the steps in this paper. First, there needs to be a needs analysis completed. This is done to show where the current system, implemented in 1992, meets the requirements today and looking into the future. It will also drive out gaps. Areas where new functionality is needed to address an issue or need within the organization, between the individual, and the organization. In this project for Riordan Manufacturing the needs analysis clearly showed the current HRIS system does not have the technical capabilities to handle their increased number of employees, and departments within the company. Next, Learning Team B goes into the planning phase within the change process. This phase starts planning for the long and short-term goals of the new HRIS system to meet Riordan’s needs as outlined in the needs analysis. Key items to include are the integration points within the departments for the processes, who will access and use the system, and the types...
