Implementing the HRIS Using Modified Change Models
Change of Management
For any system implementation to kick off smoothly and be success to deliver some of the intended objectives it was meant to serve various factors must be considered and well documented. Among the likely causes of failure in implementation of the system includes the high expectation of the company’s management that the new software system to be put in place will solve all the problems that the old HRIS system had. This is a very crucial key factor to consider during the implementation phase of the system as many business Larson Property Management been one of them expected that installation of the ATS system would solve all the problems of employee hiring process which the company had initially without considering first at the improvements that can be made to improve the efficiency of the old system (O'brien, & Marakas, 2005). Secondly, yes the team clearly stated the objective of having the new applicant- tracking systems, the implementations committee from both the IT and HR professionals failed to find the opinion of various stakeholders of the implementation of the ATS process would affect either directly or indirectly before embarking on the implementation process so as to ensure that their views are taken into consideration.
Change model
Since change in organization or businesses is inevitable in one way or the other due to either internal or external factors, the appropriate change model I would recommend for this case is Modified Change Model.
Modified Change Model
The modified change model is one of the best model that many businesses have used in the past to ensure smooth transition and efficiency of the new system implemented since it transfer the existing knowledge or vital data and the experiences or the new adjustments necessary to support the new system to work efficiently and produce reliable information as stated in the objectives. When this change model is compared against other change models like the inventive change models, it provides a more effective and cost-friendly model which not only allows the previous experience from the old systems to be used to improve the performance of the new software to be implemented (Noe, Hollenbeck, Gerhart, & Wright, 2017). Through the modified change model the implementation team would be able to incorporate some of the crucial data from the previous system into the new ATS system which would enhance the performance of the new system through maintaining some of the good performance principles of the HIRS and incorporating them in the ATS system to be implemented.

The document discusses implementing an applicant tracking system (ATS) and provides a strategic 3-step approach: 1) Analyze the current hiring process by interviewing stakeholders to understand workflows and gaps. 2) Define the future state and compare it to identify gaps. 3) Create an action plan to address findings and prepare for implementation. It emphasizes analyzing both the current and desired future processes to ensure the ATS can meet future needs and avoid costly workarounds. Conducting this analysis upfront can prevent risks associated with retrofitting processes to new technology.
The document discusses standards that must be followed by Wright Aircraft Corp to enable an effective information security program, noting that compliance is mandatory though deviation is possible with approval. The standards define minimum baseline procedures, practices, and configurations for systems and related topics to provide a single reference point during various stages of development and contracting. However, the standards do not provide detailed instructions for how to meet the company's policies.

Decision Support System Plan – Computer Systems Analysis & Design I1. The Scenario
Home Depot is seeking to cut on costs. Some of the areas which have been identified tend to be hot topical issues every time changes are attempted. These include the decision to source products domestically or having them imported. Others include the reduction of the number of employees as well as streamlining service delivery by redefining chores, job assignments, as well as supervision. The business also purposes to put up an information system that will increase positive output and reduce on cost. Even though the choice of the system has been inspired by the kind of challenges which firms like Home Depot experience while attempting trade-offs, it is important to appreciate that this is something that happens with every other organization. Therefore, there is the need for a ‘what if’ scenario so as to analyze situations and come-up with all the possible management outcomes. The issue, therefore, is facilitating the prediction of the behavior of the stakeholders on the basis of certain managerial decisions.2. System Description
The proposed system is called the Resolution Central Decision Support System. This is a Decision Support System, or DSS, that can be exploited by any organization to achieve its streamlining activities. In this case, the dependent variable is enhanced performance. This is defined by increased productivity, enhanced competitive advantage of the organization in question, as well as improvement in customer service. The customers should, actually, be in a position to report that this is the case, i.e. they have seen improvements with respect to how they are treated and their concerns are addressed. Figure I below indicates the conceptual framework. This is the relationship between the ultimate goal and the issues which define this goal.

The achievement of the goal at hand requires a number of procedures to be accomplished. Planning is the first among them, and then there is the development of the system capability. Ultimately, there is the maturity of the system, and it is at ...

This document provides an overview of a performance management system and measurement report submitted by Abdul Basit for Well Fit! Health and Fitness Clubs. It includes sections on performance management, key performance indicators, existing performance measurement frameworks, criteria for performance measurement system design, and issues related to performance measurement. The report analyzes performance management tools, models, and metrics to develop a proposed framework for Well Fit!'s performance measurement system.
This chapter discusses key considerations for designing an effective HRIS, including identifying different user groups and their data needs. It outlines three main categories of HRIS data: 1) information about employees, 2) information about the organization, and 3) data created from the interaction of people and jobs. The chapter also discusses different technical architectures for an HRIS system and the importance of the implementation process for ensuring a new system meets organizational needs.
This project charter outlines GenRays' plan to implement a new HRIS system. The goals are to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and better manage human resources as the company expands. Key deliverables include selecting a vendor, configuring the system, migrating data, training employees, and launching the new HRIS by the end of 2015. The project has a budget of $103,000 and is led by project manager Alan Oviatt. Upon successful completion, the new system is expected to save over $46,000 annually through reduced paperwork and improved access to employee information.

The document discusses organizational change management for implementing AI systems. It notes that clearly defining goals and capabilities/limitations of AI, ensuring access to data, addressing staff concerns about job displacement, and additional training are important challenges to consider. An AI-centric change management approach includes clearly defining new roles and responsibilities, consistent communication, and measuring success through metrics. Governance, communication plans, training, and addressing impacts on staff are essential parts of the process.
Performance management and development systemeismintukey
This document provides tips for optimizing a performance management and development system. Tip #1 discusses calibrating performance ratings across an organization to ensure consistent ratings. Tip #2 recommends linking performance processes to career development and learning opportunities. Tip #3 advocates enabling pay-for-performance programs to build a merit-based culture. Tip #4 suggests driving continuous improvement through workforce analytics. Tip #5 stresses configuring, rather than customizing, a performance management system.
Performance management in hospitals focuses on clinical outcomes, patient satisfaction, and operational efficiency. Key metrics include mortality and complication rates, patient experience scores, average length of stay, and operating costs. For electrical retailers, common metrics center around sales, profits, inventory levels, and customer service. Retailers track sales targets, gross and net profits, stock turnover rate, and metrics like average handling time per customer call. Both sectors also monitor employee engagement and development through performance reviews.
The Six Sigma Approach for the Development of Accounting Information System P...Hendra Gunawan
The study investigates six sigma approach in manufacturing companies to prove its influence on the development of accounting information systems performance. Total of 80 respondent data from processed questionnaire consist of low management (64%), middle management (38%) and top management (7%). Statistically significant were found for application six sigma and development of accounting information systems performance. The result shows six sigma has significant effect to accounting information system performance. The findings show that companies implement six sigma at high altitudes. Six sigma has criteria such as support and commitment from top management, organizational culture, customer focus, and training. Criteria for support and commitment from top management and organizational culture are not proven to significantly influence the development of accounting information system performance.

Six Sigma
The term Six Sigma, popularized by Motorola, Honeywell, and General Electric, has two meanings in TQM. In a statistical sense, it describes a process, product, or service with an extremely high capability (99.9997% accuracy). For example, if 1 million passengers pass through the St. Louis Airport with checked baggage each month, a Six Sigma program for baggage handling will result in only 3.4 passengers with misplaced luggage. The more common three-sigma program (which we address in the supplement to this chapter) would result in 2,700 passengers with misplaced bags every month. See Figure 6.4.
Six Sigma
A program to save time, improve quality, and lower costs.
The second TQM definition of Six Sigma is a program designed to reduce defects to help lower costs, save time, and improve customer satisfaction. Six Sigma is a comprehensive system—a strategy, a discipline, and a set of tools—for achieving and sustaining business success:
1. LO 6.3Explain Six Sigma
· It is a strategy because it focuses on total customer satisfaction.
· It is a discipline because it follows the formal Six Sigma Improvement Model known as DMAIC. This five-step process improvement model (1) Defines the project’s purpose, scope, and outputs and then identifies the required process information, keeping in mind the customer’s definition of quality; (2) Measures the process and collects data; (3) Analyzes the data, ensuring repeatability (the results can be duplicated) and reproducibility (others get the same result); (4) Improves, by modifying or redesigning, existing processes and procedures; a.
SystemCPI is a comprehensive deployment methodology created by NOVACES to address common challenges with traditional Lean Six Sigma approaches. It provides a structured roadmap consisting of four phases - Assess, Plan, Apply, and Sustain. Process improvement resources are directed at projects with the biggest impact, and a maturity model measures progress towards self-sufficiency. Rather than applying CPI methods in isolation, SystemCPI takes an integrated approach to apply the right tools to each situation.

Compensation :
Organizations can reinforce the impact of this kind of performance managernent by
tinf,ing compensation in part to performance measures. Chapter 12 depcribed a num'
ber oimethtd, fot doing this, including merit pay, gainsharing, and ,profit sharing'
Lincoin Electric has for decades paid its production workers a piecework rate. Not
only does this motivare individual employees to look for the most efficient ways lo
do ih.it jobs, but because the company is known for this compensation method, it
atrracts workers who value rvorking hard in order to earn more. In addition, Lincoln
has been paying all of irs employees a profit-sharil^g bonus "every year since 193+,"
in che words of Lincoin's CEO John M. Stropkl Jr.29 Compensation systems also can
help ro creare the conditions that contribute to high per{ormance, including team'
*ork, .-po*efment, and job satisfaction. For example, as discussed in Chapter 12,
compensation can be linked to achievement of team objectives'
Organizations can increase empowerment and job satisfactiorrl by including
"*plo"y"",
in decisions about compensation and by communicating the basis for deci-
sio.rs abo.,t pay. When the organization designs a pay structure, it can set up a task
force that inciudes employees with direct experience in various types of jobs' Some
organizations share financial information with their employees and invite them to
,"Jo*rr"rrd pay increases for themselves, based on th.it contributkins. Employees
also may pu.li.ipur. in serting individual or group goals for which thiey can receive

Planning and cybernetic controls are important elements of management control systems. Planning controls include long-range planning with a strategic focus of 3-5 years and action planning with a tactical focus of 1 year or less. Budgeting is a key component of planning controls as it quantifies goals and allows for performance evaluation. Cybernetic controls use feedback loops of measuring performance against standards to modify systems and drive performance. Common cybernetic controls include budgets, financial and non-financial metrics, and hybrid systems that use both. Effective planning and control systems help organizations achieve goals in a proactive manner.
The document outlines the steps for implementing a Human Resource Information System (HRIS). It discusses 14 steps: 1) inception of idea, 2) feasibility study, 3) selecting a project team, 4) defining requirements, 5) vendor analysis, 6) package contract negotiation, 7) training, 8) tailoring the system, 9) collecting data, 10) testing the system, 11) starting up, 12) running in parallel, 13) maintenance, and 14) evaluation. It also provides details on each step and highlights the importance of properly implementing each step for a successful HRIS system. This is illustrated through a case study of a global logistics company that implemented an HRIS to improve employee leave management across its operations
The document provides an overview of enterprise performance management (EPM) methodology in 6 steps: 1) Develop an enterprise strategy, 2) Objectively map the organization, 3) Identify improvement opportunities and key performance indicators (KPIs), 4) Develop an objective and relevant scorecard, 5) Implement outcome-based change management, and 6) Measure the results and continue to refine. EPM focuses on improving organizational performance through strategic planning, objective analysis of processes and costs, identifying opportunities for enhancement, tracking progress with scorecards, managing changes, and assessing outcomes. The goal is to empower leadership to make fact-based decisions to optimize performance.
Discussion 1a)When a company decides to use an outside party t.docxcuddietheresa
Discussion 1a)
When a company decides to use an outside party to conduct some tasks or projects, the process is called sourcing. Sometimes IT sourcing is a good idea because some companies do not have the resources or team to secure the IT structure. Some of the resources include skilled professionals, expensive equipment to support the structure, and so on. Similarly, Lazarus (2018) mentions that the outsourcing team usually gets the company great deals on prices. Their team has a list of competitive vendors that makes them excellent negotiators, which benefits the company. McKeen & Smith (2015) list some of the things that the managers need to focus on before they process IT sourcing.
They are:
Flexibility: When considering IT outsourcing, an organization needs to consider what kind of values they want and how soon do they want. Outsourcing IT might help them find a better deal, but sometimes it comes with longer response time.
Control: Outsourcing is right for some companies because it is easier for them to monitor if their expectations are meeting or not.
Knowledge Management: Some companies prefer not to outsource IT because they want to train their employees to learn knowledge and retain it. However, it is an expensive choice as it is cheaper to outsource IT and receive its benefits.
Business Exigency: Sometimes, different factors play in business that requires them to follow a non-stand process and employ unique decisions. Most of this time, outsourcing IT is a better deal, as it caters the specific needs of the business. In-house IT usually does not have the capability or the resource to respond to unique, non-standard functions.
1b) The main choice criteria that are required for IT managers to examine for making decision related to IT sourcing are as follows.
Flexibility
Flexibility is key thing that should be viewed while making choice in IT sectors. Flexibility in IT normally refers to scenario where, how speedy the IT functionality can be delivered and what are the capacities of those delivered functionality. It is equally crucial to display these elements of the decision. The great example of sourcing is IT body of workers nowadays. Many organizations have a tendency to hire group of workers from outside the business enterprise i.e. outsourcing or attempt to find the worker inside the company who have the competencies to operate the required task. For this, the part should take delivery of the terms and conditions (McKeen, 2017).
Control
Control refers to the excellent of the delivered IT functionalities. For example, its like checking the performance of the IT workforce that was employed from sourcing. For this, the work done via him has to be correct and should comply with the company requirements. Also, these works have be covered and protection measure need to be applied.

Recruitment and Selection Project

Recruitment and Selection Project
The two parts of the project that I will outsource for the recruitment and selection project include strategy and development, as well as the evaluation and control phase. The strategy development phase entails establishing the platform for reaching applicants. The strategy development should be outsourced to an online advertisement company since they understand the most visited sites where applicants look for job vacancies. Besides, the online company has most traffic for candidates looking for job opportunities, unlike the company website, where only a few applicants would reach. Getting the advert too many applicants as possible is essential for acquiring the right talent.
Also, the evaluation and control phase would be outsourced since it involves the coding process. Coding consists of the expertise of a software development company. The company has not developed any system that performs similar or same duties. Hence, there could be delays in the IT department. However, by outsourcing the coding process to software developers, the system would be developed efficiently, making it compatible with various operating systems. Notably, the software developer would ensure that the deadline, six days, is met to enable the closeout phase of the project.
Nonetheless, the part which has the best chance of staying on schedule is the job description phase. The duration is six days and would be met since the most significant elements that would be involved include a listing of the company’s job positions. Then, the qualifications, skills, duty, and other related requirements under those positions would be listed with the help of the HR department. The only part that raises concern about remaining on schedule is the searching and screening phase. During the coding process, searching and screening measures necessitate the real-time application of the recruitment process. Perhaps the approach that is effective from the developer would be unproductive for the company. The process would be involving and would take much time to integrate suitable strategies.
Importantly, I will monitor the progress of the project by setting regular check-ins. Each phase is designed to take six days. Therefore, I will evaluate the achievement of each milestone at the end of the six days and share reports with the project development team. Also, I will clarify expectations by defining the stable plan, which outlines the scope and related tasks that should be achieved at the end of every phase (Papke-Shields & Boyer-Wright, 2017). Hence, as the project manager, I would ensure the project stays on schedule by breaking down the major tasks into smaller ones. In this way, moving from one milestone to the next is streamlined. Also, I will plan unexpected risks since issues halt various project milestones, and prolong the schedule.
Besides, for this project, the six-warp activities for ...

Please read the description of the Religion ethnography carefully and then ask me in class to explain anything that isn't clear. You can also email me with questions.
At the end there is a short list of possible sites for the ethnography: Sikh, Islamic, Jewish, Catholic, Hindu, Buddhist. Shumei. There are other religions and many other sites. Bahai is an interesting religion but you have to be invited to attend by a member.
Mormon the same.
If you have access to a Santeria or similar ceremony, great!
To make the project worthwhile choose a site as different from your own background as you can.
If you have a Christian or Catholic background do not do your paper on any kind of Christian or Catholic service.
You are welcome to attend a non-English language service as long as you understand the language being used.
Be sure to okay your choice with me. Some places that don’t work for this project are Scientology, the Self Realization Fellowship, the Kabbalah Center, SGI Buddhist, Hare Krishna.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Attend a religious activity that you’re curious about and would like to explore.
You must attend a service, not simply visit a religious site.
Examples: a mosque, temple, synagogue, gurdwara.
You can probably find an interesting place of worship near where you live or work.
It’s always a good idea to phone or email the place of worship before you attend.
Research methods must include participant/observation and informal conversation. One slightly more formal interview is desirable.
Be absolutely sure to allow time to stay after the service for food, lunch, other refreshment, or informal gathering. This may well be the most important part of your experience and will enable you to answer the question, “What meaning does this place and this service have for the participants?
You must go some place you’ve never been to before. Do NOT choose your own tradition or somewhere you’re even a bit familiar with. Choose somewhere entirely new and different.
The important thing is to come to the service as an outsider, with the eyes and ears of an anthropologist and take note of everything. Use the skills you’ve learned in this class.
You can attend alone or with a co-researcher or two from the class. Best, you can be the guest(s) of a classmate or someone else you know and discuss the event with them. Invite a classmate or two to attend a service from your tradition.
Do not write about an event you attended in the past. But you can use past experiences for comparison and reflection.
It is almost never appropriate to jot down notes during a religious service. Better, write everything you remember immediately after the event. Get sufficient detail to write what anthropologist Clifford Geertz called “thick”, or rich description.
In writing your paper use terms we've discussed in class and think about connections to the reading we’ve done and films we’ve seen.

This document provides tips for optimizing a performance management and development system. Tip #1 discusses calibrating performance ratings across an organization to ensure consistent ratings. Tip #2 recommends linking performance processes to career development and learning opportunities. Tip #3 advocates enabling pay-for-performance programs to build a merit-based culture. Tip #4 suggests driving continuous improvement through workforce analytics. Tip #5 stresses configuring, rather than customizing, a performance management system.
Performance management in hospitals focuses on clinical outcomes, patient satisfaction, and operational efficiency. Key metrics include mortality and complication rates, patient experience scores, average length of stay, and operating costs. For electrical retailers, common metrics center around sales, profits, inventory levels, and customer service. Retailers track sales targets, gross and net profits, stock turnover rate, and metrics like average handling time per customer call. Both sectors also monitor employee engagement and development through performance reviews.

The study investigates six sigma approach in manufacturing companies to prove its influence on the development of accounting information systems performance. Total of 80 respondent data from processed questionnaire consist of low management (64%), middle management (38%) and top management (7%). Statistically significant were found for application six sigma and development of accounting information systems performance. The result shows six sigma has significant effect to accounting information system performance. The findings show that companies implement six sigma at high altitudes. Six sigma has criteria such as support and commitment from top management, organizational culture, customer focus, and training. Criteria for support and commitment from top management and organizational culture are not proven to significantly influence the development of accounting information system performance.

Six Sigma
The term Six Sigma, popularized by Motorola, Honeywell, and General Electric, has two meanings in TQM. In a statistical sense, it describes a process, product, or service with an extremely high capability (99.9997% accuracy). For example, if 1 million passengers pass through the St. Louis Airport with checked baggage each month, a Six Sigma program for baggage handling will result in only 3.4 passengers with misplaced luggage. The more common three-sigma program (which we address in the supplement to this chapter) would result in 2,700 passengers with misplaced bags every month. See Figure 6.4.
Six Sigma
A program to save time, improve quality, and lower costs.
The second TQM definition of Six Sigma is a program designed to reduce defects to help lower costs, save time, and improve customer satisfaction. Six Sigma is a comprehensive system—a strategy, a discipline, and a set of tools—for achieving and sustaining business success:
1. LO 6.3Explain Six Sigma
· It is a strategy because it focuses on total customer satisfaction.
· It is a discipline because it follows the formal Six Sigma Improvement Model known as DMAIC. This five-step process improvement model (1) Defines the project’s purpose, scope, and outputs and then identifies the required process information, keeping in mind the customer’s definition of quality; (2) Measures the process and collects data; (3) Analyzes the data, ensuring repeatability (the results can be duplicated) and reproducibility (others get the same result); (4) Improves, by modifying or redesigning, existing processes and procedures; a.
SystemCPI is a comprehensive deployment methodology created by NOVACES to address common challenges with traditional Lean Six Sigma approaches. It provides a structured roadmap consisting of four phases - Assess, Plan, Apply, and Sustain.

Rather than applying CPI methods in isolation, SystemCPI takes an integrated approach to apply the right tools to each situation.

Hence, as the project manager, I would ensure the project stays on schedule by breaking down the major tasks into smaller ones. In this way, moving from one milestone to the next is streamlined. Also, I will plan unexpected risks since issues halt various project milestones, and prolong the schedule.
Besides, for this project, the six-warp activities for ...

Please read the description of the Religion ethnography carefully and then ask me in class to explain anything that isn't clear. You can also email me with questions.
At the end there is a short list of possible sites for the ethnography: Sikh, Islamic, Jewish, Catholic, Hindu, Buddhist. Shumei. There are other religions and many other sites. Bahai is an interesting religion but you have to be invited to attend by a member.
Mormon the same.
If you have access to a Santeria or similar ceremony, great!
To make the project worthwhile choose a site as different from your own background as you can.
If you have a Christian or Catholic background do not do your paper on any kind of Christian or Catholic service.
You are welcome to attend a non-English language service as long as you understand the language being used.
Be sure to okay your choice with me. Some places that don’t work for this project are Scientology, the Self Realization Fellowship, the Kabbalah Center, SGI Buddhist, Hare Krishna.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Attend a religious activity that you’re curious about and would like to explore.
You must attend a service, not simply visit a religious site.
Examples: a mosque, temple, synagogue, gurdwara.
You can probably find an interesting place of worship near where you live or work.
It’s always a good idea to phone or email the place of worship before you attend.
Research methods must include participant/observation and informal conversation. One slightly more formal interview is desirable.
Be absolutely sure to allow time to stay after the service for food, lunch, other refreshment, or informal gathering. This may well be the most important part of your experience and will enable you to answer the question, “What meaning does this place and this service have for the participants?
You must go some place you’ve never been to before. Do NOT choose your own tradition or somewhere you’re even a bit familiar with. Choose somewhere entirely new and different.
The important thing is to come to the service as an outsider, with the eyes and ears of an anthropologist and take note of everything. Use the skills you’ve learned in this class.
You can attend alone or with a co-researcher or two from the class. Best, you can be the guest(s) of a classmate or someone else you know and discuss the event with them. Invite a classmate or two to attend a service from your tradition.
Do not write about an event you attended in the past. But you can use past experiences for comparison and reflection.
It is almost never appropriate to jot down notes during a religious service. Better, write everything you remember immediately after the event. Get sufficient detail to write what anthropologist Clifford Geertz called “thick”, or rich description.
In writing your paper use terms we've discussed in class and think about connections to the reading we’ve done and films we’ve seen.

This unit's chapter discussed concerns about quality programming in the media. Different models for assessing culture were discussed:
1) Culture as a Skyscraper Model and 2) Culture as a Map.
Come up with several television shows that serve as examples of “quality” programs and “trashy” programs. What characteristics determine their quality (plots, subject matter, themes, characters…)?
Is there anything you can think of that is “universally trashy”? Or universally in good taste?
On the whole, are Americans seen as having good taste? Why or why not? Is there a country/culture that always seems tasteful in its cultural products?
Which model (Culture as Skyscraper or Culture as Map) makes more sense to you and why?

PRAISE FOR CRUCIAL CONVERSATIONS
"Relationships are the priority of life, and conversations are the
crucial element in profound caring of relationships. This book
helps us to think about what we really want to say. If you want
to succeed in both talking and listening, read this book."
-Dr. Lloyd J. Ogilvie, chaplain, United States Senate
"Important, lucid, and practical, Crucial Conversations is a
book that will make a difference in your life. Learn how to flour
ish in every difficult situation."
-Robert E. Quinn, ME Tracy Collegiate Professor of
OBHRM, University of Michigan Business School
"I was personally and professionally inspired by this book-and
I'm not easily impressed. In the fast-paced world of IT, the success
of our systems, and our business, depends on crucial conversations
we have every day. Unfortunately, because our environment is so
technical, far too often we forget about the 'human systems' that
make or break us. These skills are the missing foundation piece."
-Maureen Burke, manager of training,
Coca-Cola Enterprises, Inc.
"The book is compelling. Yes, I found myself in too many of their
examples of what not to do when caught in these worst-of-all
worlds situations! GET THIS BOOK, WHIP OUT A PEN AND
GET READY TO SCRIBBLE MARGIN NOTES FURIOUSLY,
AND PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE THE INVALUABLE
TOOLS THESE AUTHORS PRESENT. I know I did-and it
helped me salvage several difficult situations and repair my
damaged self-esteem in others. I will need another copy pretty
soon. as I'm wearing out the pages in this one!"
-James Belasco. best-selling author of Flight of the Buffalo,

"Crucial Conversations is the most useful self-help book I have
ever read. I'm awed by how insightful, readable, well organized,
and focused it is. I keep thinking: 'If only I had been exposed to
these dialogue skills 30 years ago ... '"
-John Hatch, founder, FINCA International
"One of the greatest tragedies is seeing someone with incredible
talent get derailed because he or she lacks some basic skills.
Crucial Conversations addresses the number one reason execu
tives derail, and it provides extremely helpful tools to operate in
a fast-paced, results-oriented environment."
-Karie A. Willyerd, chief talent officer, Solectron
"The book prescribes, with structure and wit, a way to improve on
the most fundamental element of organizational learning and
growth-honest, unencumbered dialogue between individuals.
There are one or two of the many leadership/management
'thought' books on my shelf that are frayed and dog-eared from
use. Crucial Conversations will no doubt end up in the same con
dition."

THIS month.
After the concert, write an
objective review (1000 - 1500 words) of the concert detailing your experience.
Write A Review and include those questions!!!
The review should include:
1. The names of the performing groups/artists; the date and location of the performance.
2. Describe the setting. Is it a large hall or an intimate theater? What type of audience demographic is there? Young or old? How do they respond to the music?
3. The different styles/genres of songs the artist(s) perform.
4. Use your notes and experience to describe the different musical elements (i.e. melody, harmony, timbre, technology, form, volume, etc.) you recognize in most (if not all) the songs/pieces.
5. Be sure to arrive on time to hear the
entire concert.
6. Attach a photo of the flyer, ticket, or webpage (or social media event) when you submit this assignment.
7. Describe your personal reaction to the concert. List reasons why you think it was successful or not. However, do not make this the center of your paper. It should be
one or two paragraphs at the end. Further, use
data to support your arguments about why it was successful or not successful. (e.g., How did people respond verbally and non-verbally? Was this based on your perception or was there a general consensus? If it is a consensus, then what facts do you have to support this?)
8. Try to do some background research on the genre or artist before and after you attend the concert. This is not a research paper, but if you use any information from any source (including the artist's website), you
must cite it both in-text and on a works-cited page.

Johnson & Johnson’s Tylenol Crisis
Background
“The killer’s motives remain unknown, but his — or her, or their — technical
savvy is as chilling today as it was 30 years ago.
On Sept. 29, 1982, three people died in the Chicago area after taking
cyanide-laced Tylenol at the outset of a poisoning spree that would claim seven
lives by Oct. 1. The case has never been solved, and so the lingering question —
why? — still haunts investigators.
Food and Drug Administration officials hypothesized that the killer bought
Extra-Strength Tylenol capsules over the counter, injected cyanide into the red
half of the capsules, resealed the bottles, and sneaked them back onto the shelves
of drug and grocery stores. The Illinois attorney general, on the other hand,
suspected a disgruntled employee on Tylenol’s factory line. In either case, it was a
sophisticated and ambitious undertaking with the seemingly pathological go.

They are all about Art and Politics in Renaissance Florence Period
1. Short Paper
Street corners, guild halls, government offices, and confraternity centers contained works of art that made the city of Florence a visual jewel at precisely the time of its emergence as a European cultural leader. In shared religious and secular spaces, people from the city of Florence commissioned altarpieces, chapels, buildings, textiles, all manner of objects – at home, interior spaces were animated with smaller-scale works, such as family portraits, birth trays, decorated pieces of furniture, all of which relied on patrons, artists, and audiences working with the beauty and power of sensory experience. Like people all over Europe, viewers believed in the power of images, and they shared an understanding of the persuasiveness of art and architecture. Florentines accepted the utterly vital role that art could play as a propagator of civic, corporate, religious, political and individual identity.
Select one or two of the test case studies [that is, talk about Cosimo or Lorenzo the Magnificent or Savonarola's impact on Florence or the new Republic under Soderini] from this Module on Art and Politics in Renaissance Florence, and explore your understanding of people in Florence, who was so alive to the power and communication possibilities in works of art, objects, and spaces throughout the city and beyond.

Democratic leadership style
Embraces diversity and open dialogue as core values.
The leader's role is to provide direction and exercise authority.
Commands respect and admiration from those who follow you.
Moral principles and personal beliefs underpin all choices.
Seek out a wide range of perspectives (Cherry, 2020).
Behaviorist theory is the one that fits my style of leadership the best.
Being the change you wish to see in the world is crucial, in my opinion. According to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, "Behavior is the mirror in which everyone exhibits their picture." My main priorities are the well-being of the team members and developing effective solutions via cooperative effort.
personal leadership style attributes
Active participant
Each person is given a fair chance to speak their mind, and there is no pressure to conform to any one viewpoint.
Values other standpoints
I find it fascinating to hear the perspectives of others. To me, it's crucial that everyone in the team pitches in to find the most effective answer. To me, it's important to give everyone a voice on the team since they all have something unique to offer.

Life example
Working as a Management Analyst in the realm of government spending, I am frequently required to communicate with the Program Management Team of a third party firm. No collimated staff members prevent me from personally performing some of the work necessary to maintain an accurate external organization ledger. As a result, I need to be approachable, polite, and nice to my coworkers so that they would feel comfortable confiding in me and trusting me with their ideas. By consistently soliciting feedback from staff and management, I want to foster a culture of collaboration. This fosters innovation on the team and opens minds to new points of view.
Charismatic leadership style
They have excellent communication skills.
Passionate in furthering Their Cause.
Professionals have a lot of experience in their field.
Act with a level head (Siangchokyoo, et al. 2020).

Abstract
Background: Co-administration of multiple intravenous (IV) medicines down the
same lumen of an IV catheter is often necessary in the intensive care unit (ICU) while
ensuring medicine compatibility.
Aims and objectives: This study explores ICU nurses' views on the everyday practice
surrounding co-administration of multiple IV medicines down the same lumen.
Design: Qualitative study using focus group interviews.
Methods: Three focus groups were conducted with 20 ICU nurses across two hospi-
tals in the Thames Valley Critical Care Network, England. Participants' experience of
co-administration down the same lumen and means of assessing compatibility were
explored. All focus groups were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analysed using
thematic analysis. Functional Resonance Analysis Method was used to provide a
visual representation of the co-administration process.
Results: Two key themes were identified as essential during the process of co-admin-
istration, namely, venous access and resources. Most nurses described insufficient
venous access and lack of compatibility data for commonly used medicines (eg, anal-
gesics and antibiotics) as particular challenges. Strategies such as obtaining additional
venous access, prioritizing infusions, and swapping line of infusion were used to man-
age IV administration pro.

Towards a multi-foci approach to

review of outcomes from different

Summary Using meta-analysis, we compare three attitudinal outcomes (i.e., job satisfaction, affective
commitment, and turnover intent), three behavioral outcomes (i.e., interpersonal deviance,
organizational deviance, and work performance), and four health-related outcomes (i.e.,
general health, depression, emotional exhaustion, and physical well being) of workplace
aggression from three different sources: Supervisors, co-workers, and outsiders. Results from
66 samples show that supervisor aggression has the strongest adverse effects across the
attitudinal and behavioral outcomes. Co-worker aggression had stronger effects than outsider
aggression on the attitudinal and behavioral outcomes, whereas there was no significant
difference between supervisor, co-worker, and outsider aggression for the majority of the
health-related outcomes. These results have implications for how workplace aggression is
conceptualized and measured, and we propose new research questions that emphasize a multi-
foci approach. Copyright # 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
I admit that, before I was bullied, I couldn’t understand why employees would shy-away from doing
anything about it. When it happened to me, I felt trapped. I felt like either no one believed me or no
one cared. This bully was my direct boss and went out of his way to make me look and feel
incompetent. . . I dreaded going to work and cried myself to sleep every night. I was afraid of
losing my job because I started to question my abilities and didn’t think I’d find work elsewhere.

Judicial OpinionsOverview After the simulation, justices writ.docxSusanaFurman449
Judicial Opinions
Overview: After the simulation, justices write judicial opinions in reaction to the oral argument, merits briefs, conference, and draft opinions as well as the facts of the case, Constitution, and case law. Justices circulate drafts so they know how their colleagues plan to rule and why, and so they can respond to one another in their final judicial opinion draft.
Instructions: You are a Supreme Court justice preparing an opinion for announcement. Read the case materials: case hypothetical, merits briefs, and judicial opinion drafts of your colleagues, and review your notes from oral argument and conference. Write a majority opinion resolving the major legal question in light of the facts of the case, Constitution, and case law, as well as all case materials: merits briefs, oral argument, and the views of your colleagues (in conference and draft opinions). Opinions must support an argument, refute counterarguments, and respond to attorneys (oral argument and/or merits briefs), and fellow justices (conference and/or draft opinions).
Opinions should contain the following five elements, in the following order:
1. an introductory statement of the nature, procedural posture, and prior result of the case;
2. a statement of the issues to be decided;
3. a statement of the material facts;
4. a discussion of the governing legal principles and resolution of the issues; and
5. the disposition and necessary instructions.
Each of these is developed further below.
Assessment: Complete opinions must support an argument, refute counterarguments, and respond to attorneys (oral argument and/or merits briefs), and fellow justices (conference and/or draft opinions). Strong opinions will be well organized, logically argued, and well supported through reference to and explanation of Supreme Court decisions and legal principles. Assessment rests on how well you make use of, identify, and explain relevant course material. It also rests on staying in character and not diverging from your justice’s political ideology and/or judicial philosophy.
Introduction
The purpose of the Introduction is to orient the reader to the case. It should state briefly what the case is about, the legal subject matter, and the result. It may also cover some or all of the following:
1. The parties: The parties should be identified, if not in the Introduction, then early in the opinion, preferably by name, and names should be used consistently throughout. (The use of legal descriptions, such as “appellant” and “appellee,” tends to be confusing, especially in multi-party cases.)
2. The procedural and jurisdictional status: relevant prior proceedings, and how the case got before the court should be outlined.
Statement of issues
The statement of issues is the cornerstone of the opinion; how the issues are formulated determines which facts are material and what legal principles govern. Judges should not be bound by the attorneys’.

Maintenance

System Development Life Cycle – Implementation and
Maintenance
Change Management
Change management processes are frequently hindered by
numerous obstacles that might lead to system failure. There are
various potential causes for system implementation failure. First
is the absence of well-defined goals and targets for the system's
implementation (Alami, 2016). For example, this may be the
result of an organization setting goals that are impossible to
measure, cannot be identified, or are very general in nature.
Inadequate planning can also lead to system breakdowns. Poor
2. planning before beginning a project can lead to an inappropriate
allocation of resources, which can then result in the loss of jobs
if personnel are unable to complete the task as promised.
Another cause of unsuccessful implementation is insufficient
preparation of key employees for their roles in the rollout.
Training in this area should follow the best practices. In some
instances, management may select the incorrect system or
vendor (Alami, 2016). In this case, the system in consideration
may be excessively costly, or the supplier may lack the ability
to train employees, which might produce an implementation
failure. As a result, establishments are challenged with making
sound decisions about the selection of a system and its
execution.
There are many different models for the implementation of
change that can serve as guides for businesses that want to
successfully nurture change. The “ADKAR, Kotter's Eight-Step
Model, and Lewin's Change Management Model are three of the
change management models that are used frequently” (Cameron
& Green, 2019). Unfreezing, transitioning, and refreezing are
the three steps of making system changes, as outlined by
Lewin's Change Management Model. Employees' natural
aversion to change is addressed in the unfreeze phase.
Specifically, the model stipulates those businesses must be
ready to address change-related pushback and other concerns
that may arise. After the change has been started, the transition
period is where proper reassurance and leadership are essential
to its successful execution. After the system has been
effectively applied, the organization "refreezes," or resumes
normal operations in accordance with the new policies.
Conversely, the ADKAR framework is focused on outcomes.
Every member of a company can share in the benefits of the
system's deployment under this model. The primary function of
this instrument is to assist management in locating problematic
areas in the change management procedure. Lastly, there is the
eight-stage Kotter model, which highlights key ideas related to
change implementation at each stage (Cameron & Green, 2019).
3. Kotter's eight-step approach will be used in this project.
The new system will be implemented based on this model.
Following the guidelines of the selected model, this
implementation will consist of eight separate steps. The first
step is to convince people that a change is necessary and to
rally support for the new system among the workforce. The next
step is for management to establish a coalition or group to serve
as the catalyst for the transformation. This is where a group of
people who are qualified to lead the HRIS rollout will get
together. The next step is to develop an overarching plan of
action and vision statement to serve as beacons for the daily
activities and ensure that the objectives can be quantified. In
the fourth phase, information about the concept is disseminated
and employees are given more control over the process. Thus, it
is imperative that these challenges to the system's execution be
removed (Cameron & Green, 2019). The next step is to design
periodic short-term successes that may be used to inspire the
team. I have found that building on these triumphs assists in
furthering progress and deploying the system with more ease
and efficiency. Lastly, an organizational culture that supports
and accepts change will be established to make it easier for the
institution's successors to make necessary changes rapidly
(Alami, 2016). In this procedure, the Kotter model is chosen
over the others since it provides a step-by-step approach that
can be easily followed and executed. Secondly, the paradigm
encourages people in a company to be more open to change,
which is a factor that can contribute to the failure or success of
an HRIS system installation.
HRIS Implementation
Before putting any system into operation, there are a few
things that need to be done in order to assure that the system
will be put into operation successfully (Dey & Saha, 2020). As
part of this endeavour, one of the actions involved is creating a
proposal on the execution of the project, which will take around
one month. Following this, the proposal will be given to the
project stakeholders throughout the following month to receive
4. their approval. During this phase, the task will be focused on
formulating plans, setting goals, and identifying any concerns
that need to be addressed in order to ensure the continued
success of the system. Following approval, it is essential to
choose the company that will be in charge of installing the
HRIS. Under feasible conditions, the choosing of an installation
firm would take around two weeks, to allow for the evaluation
of the company to see if it is competent and feasible of
implementation and staff training. In this light, the next step
prior to deploying the HRIS system is the implementation of the
movement and human labor, which will occur simultaneously
with the training of the staff on the network, resulting in a one-
month timeframe. One month will be allocated for the final
activity, which entails testing processes and training for the
human resources division. These tasks will take around four
months to complete.
The responsibilities indicated below will be carried out by
members of the team who have been assigned specific tasks.
There will be four major contributors to this effort: the
executive sponsor, software curator, affected workers, and the
internal advocate. Staff members who will be affected are those
who will be using the new system in their daily tasks (Dey &
Saha, 2020). Their job is to make sure the new system is well-
taught, widely distributed, and widely adopted. The software
curator's role will be to mediate communications between the
company and the new system's provider. As part of his role, he
would be responsible for updating different processes and
troubleshooting to reflect the new system's features and
ensuring that everyone involved is aware of any changes. Those
with strong leadership and interpersonal abilities will become
the "internal champions" tasked with promoting the new
system's adoption among the workforce (Srivastava, Bajaj, &
Dev, 2021). Lastly, the HRIS deployment needs an executive
sponsor from upper management to help smooth over any
internal bumps in the road that may arise.

Organizational and risk avoidance are utilized to make the
argument for the HRIS price tag. In terms of improving the
overall business, the primary motivation behind adopting an
HRIS system is to raise earnings while decreasing the
astronomically high running costs that are currently in play. If
implemented properly, a human resource information system
(HRIS) can increase productivity and provide benefits to both
employers and workers (Kavanagh & Johnson, 2017). According
to the given matrix, the HRIS system's advantages much
outweigh its disadvantages, and the company ultimately saves
money that can be utilized toward other projects. There is a
high probability of a positive return on investment, as shown by
this matrix (ROI).
Maintenance
The organization must develop a strategy on the maintenance,
evaluation, and continual improvement of the HRIS system to
be executed to provide optimum benefits (Kavanagh & Johnson,
2017). To begin, HRIS will go through maintenance operations
once a month to install any available upgrades and address any
faults in the configuration or coding system. The company will
form an HRIS leadership team that will take a broad-based
approach to learning how to evaluate and review existing
systems and how they might be enhanced (Dey & Saha, 2020).
To maintain the HRIS system, procedures like data
gathering and information technology infrastructure will be
evaluated and improved on a regular basis. The development of
sound workforce regulations can also encourage ongoing
improvement of HRIS systems, since everyone strives toward
measurable objectives that are shared by all parties. Meetings
should be held every three months to promote data analysis and
serve as a forum for management to make data-supported
choices on how to enhance the system. Finally, technical
7. assistance will be made available and staff members will be
trained in order to ensure the HRIS system's durability and
ongoing improvement.

Data versus process views
Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) are critical for
organizations to make data-driven decisions about their
workforce. By viewing HRIS from a data perspective,
organizations can gain insights into employee behavior and
trends that can help them improve their HR practices.
Additionally, data driven HRIS can help establishments identify
potential issues with their workforce before they become
problems. Data view HRIS can help organizations save time and
money by reducing the need for manual data entry and analysis,
and by providing accurate and up-to-date information about
their employees. It also allows organizations to make informed
decisions about their workforce that is based on data, rather
than assumptions. Finally, data view HRIS can help
organizations improve communication and collaboration
between HR and other departments within the organization. I
have found that data driven HRIS has saved our company time,
efforts, and money. It seemed we were given back hours in our
day once we implemented this type of system. Instead of
devoting daily periods gathering information, creating analysis
reports, and disseminating and discussing the material, we were
able to recognize problems and make more efficient conclusions
9. more quickly. This increased efficiency, we found valuable
within our company.
Secondly, viewing HRIS from process perspective would ensure
that the system meets the needs of the organization. By
understanding the HR processes and how they are interrelated,
organizations can design HRIS systems that support and
improve these processes. Additionally, process oriented HRIS
can help to identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies in the HR
system and provide information that can be used to improve the
overall effectiveness of the organization. Streamlining HR
processes and improving efficiency can lead to cost savings for
the organization. As a result, cost savings can be used to
reinvest in HRIS or to fund other HR initiatives. Identifying
potential bottlenecks or areas of improvement can help to
improve the user experience and satisfaction with the system.
Additionally, it can help to improve the overall quality of the
data entered into the system. Consequently, this can lead to
more accurate and timely reports, which can be used to make
better informed HR decisions.
Process view also allows for the integration of HRIS with other
business systems, which can further improve efficiency and
effectiveness. Further, the change team can use this vital
information to address identified needs from Phase II by
understanding the architectural design of Larson Property
Management system. Consequently, this would lead to improved
efficiency and effectiveness in the long run. On the flip side,
some may argue that viewing HRIS from a process perspective
can lead to a "checklist mentality" where users are focused on
completing tasks rather than on the bigger picture. Additionally,
this perspective can lead to a greater focus on compliance with
HR policies and procedures rather than on the strategic
objectives of the organization. However, these potential
drawbacks can be mitigated through proper training and user
education.
Data Flow Diagram
In this perspective, based on the case study of Larson Property
10. Management, it is evident that the company’s business activities
and processes in the HR system revolve around the management
of employee records. In short, account creation, employee
reports, employee records and their capture and maintenance
constitute the Larson Property Management key business
activities and processes in the HR system and how the data will
flow. Thus, it would then be significant to establish the physical
design. Larson Property Management physical design is based
on a system that accepts employee data and records and is often
in the form of names, payment data, and performance.
As a result, this system provides for the company’s top
leadership to view and understand the flow of data. To this
assignment, I will examine three vendors. They are HRLocker,
Sage People, and Nortek People Management. First, HRLocker,
has unique properties as it incorporates employee absence
management, workforce insights, employee leave and vacation
opportunities. Sage People provides very similar services to that
of HRLocker. Some of the features of Sage People are it
supports the connecting of a company’s workforce in a new
way. It tailors the employee self-serve portal, upsurges team
effectiveness and productivity using automation, and gives
global visibility for the company’s workforce.
Thirdly, the Nortek People Management services incorporate
management of performance and disciplinary action. It is a fully
featured Human Resource Software designed to assist Startup
businesses and Agencies. Intended for Windows, Nortek People
Management delivers end-to-end resolutions. It is an online
system that offers 360-degree feedback, goal setting, training
for management level employees, and employee lifecycle
management, budgeting, document management, calendars,
expense tracking, scheduling, and recruiting, all in one place.
Regarding cost analysis, HRLocker would cost the company
$2.70 whereas Sage People costs $10. With Nortek People
Management each license cost around $50 per user per year. In
this case, the most effective and efficient vendor to be used by
11. Larson Property Management would be Sage People as the
ultimate HRIS system (HRMS n.d.). In short, based on cost and
the benefits, I would recommend Sage People as the vendor to
the Larson Property Management company. It seems to not only
be great for a company that is budget conscious, but it is also a
system that has many features and benefits that can assist an
organization’s effective productivity.

System Development Life Cycle: Phases I & II – Planning and
Analysis
Pamela Hines
Strayer University
Human Resources Information Systems
Dr. Latrice Love
October 24, 2022
Introduction and plan
Larson property management is one of the largest property
management companies that organizes development and
commercial services for its clients. The company manages the
systems under a legacy named HRIS to store the databases of
the employees and applicants. The system serves the clients
directly through its client-server system, which engages the
clients in a dependable way to save time and resources since the
number of employees has been reduced to less than one
hundred. However, the system has its limits which
16. inconveniences the activities of a company, such as the limit in
the storage of its systems. This may make it difficult to retrieve
the databases of employees and applicants.
It is worth mentioning, that the system could not serve the
recruitment process without the physical operation of the clerk
who collects basic details and gives the applicants' results. The
plan to minimize these shortcomings is to establish equipment
that sufficiently serves the employee database's intended
purpose. The systems would be controlled by experts well-
conversant with the latest technology. The expertise should be
well experienced to save time on the operation since the
employee performing the monitoring influences the final results
of the company activities. The system provides a wireless hiring
system that does not require contact with the clients and
applicants; hence can be done effectively without the physical
presence of the clients. Hen my former company designed its’
new system, they selected three people who were deemed as
experts to be on the design committee. It was very helpful, as
we brought real life scenario questions that had not been
considered.
Needs analysis
The issues identified in the Larson property management
include the physical hiring process, which consumes a lot of
time. The new system aims at mobilizing the automatic hiring
process and provision of results on the online platforms of the
systems since they are stabilized efficiently and accessible. The
minimal storage should have a capacity that guarantees the
retrieval of data at any time of need without engaging the
physical contact of the report and records on the employee
database. The storage should be large enough to accommodate
future and past data, which may be useful in decision-making.
The retrieval of the applicant's data is a crucial need because of
the efficiency in the tracking and recording of the details, which
is a mandate when data is needed.
17. The retrieval process boosts the company's ability to attract
more stakeholders and proper management in the real estate
field. The new system is designed to create a reliable
management process with low labor costs and effectively
accommodates large numbers of data (Quaosar & Rahman,
2021). Optimally, the team members should be engaged in the
system's design process and contribute their qualities in the
same field of computer systems of management in real estate.
The expertise in the Information technology field is crucial in
examining the system's strengths and weaknesses, which helps
maintain and evaluate the operation of the employee recruiting
system. The information technology experts should have
experience in the relevant field to ensure the knowledge and
skills applied are gear towards attaining company goals.
The operation manager would guide the team members on steps
to achieve the company's objectives by using the right resources
to fix the new system. The responsibilities of computer
tacticians are to identify the possible risks of the system and
implement possible solutions which minimize the risk
occurrence. The team members would achieve their goals by
cooperating and appropriately applying their skills and
knowledge.
Interview, Questionnaire, Observation, or Focus Group
The main method of collecting data would be for the
observation of the processes of the operating system and
identifying its’ weaknesses and limitations. The observation
process includes recording the hitches detected and advancing
the new system with the features that support the confines
incurred by the existing system. The average time consumed is
regarded as the basis for the advancement in the speed of the
new system in ensuring the company management operations are
enhanced (Shahreki, 2019). Questionnaires are given to the
employees who use the systems. They are designed to discover
the difficulties experienced and problems that, when solved,
would enhance the recruitment process.
The tests of the new system help collect data on the risks that
18. the new system would incur in delivering property management
for clients. The change management team would collect data
during the exploration phase by observing and testing the
expected systems through their efficiency in the evaluation
process of determining the new system. The team members
would use the observation techniques for acquiring the
information from end users by establishing time management
series that record the time consumed (Silva & Lima, 2018). The
team members observe the existing system operational record,
record the needs required in the new system, and customize the
features that would solve the problems encountered. The five
questions that would be asked during the observation process
are: What problems are encountered during the system usage?
How much time is consumed in delivering the services? How
often does the system break to acquire the repair? How have the
clients and applicants complained about the system's efficiency?
Which is the worst experience in using the system to manage
the property efficiently? The results determine the system value
and establishment of the advances in the future employee and
development systems.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the three reasons for adopting the Human
Resource information systems include more time effectiveness,
which means giving time back to the human resource officers to
do more important tasks, proper follow-up of the applicant
tracking and onboarding, and the overall efficiency of the staff
members in the human resource department. The human
resource information system would address the current human
resource problems through fast-tracking of the applicants and
employee monitoring in an effectual manner. I have used an
HRIS system in the past and found that not only was efficient, it
