An HRIS is a system used to collect, store, and analyze information about an organization's human resources. It aims to provide accurate, relevant, and timely information about employees and their functions at a reasonable cost. Key components of most HRIS systems include personal employee data, work history, training records, skills inventory, and career development plans. HRIS systems benefit HR managers, professionals, and employees by increasing efficiency, effectiveness, and integrating HR technologies like compensation, staffing, and training. Common applications of HRIS include job descriptions, HR planning, recruitment, performance management, and training and development.

10. INTEGRATING THE TECHNOLOGIES
OF HR
 HR functions
Ex: compensation
staffing
training
HRIS process of change has created significant
challenges for HR professionals resulting in the
transformation of traditional processes into on-line
processes

11. INCREASED EFFICIENCY
 Rapid computing technology has allowed more
transactions to occur with fewer fixed resources.
 Though technologies of early mainframes
provided significant efficiencies in these areas
 The difference is that the record processing
efficiencies that were once only available to large
firms are now readily available to any organization
size

12. INCREASED EFFECTIVENESS
 Computer technology is designed to improve
effectiveness either by in terms of the accuracy of
information
 Using the technology to simplify the process
 However, onerous manual reconciliation processes
may be executed faster, but also with near perfect
accuracy using automated systems.
 Using computer technology in these processes
ensures accurate results

13. DESIGNING OF HRIS
Data Collection-
 Nature and form of data will vary from organization
to organization depending upon its objectives.
 After collection of data, the irrelevant data should be
filtered out and the relevant data should be properly
classified and tabulated so that it can be used easily
when needed

14. Planning of System
 It requires the identification of objectives of the
system
 This further requires a clear formulation of
objectives of the organization, spelling out of the
activities required to be carried out, work
relationships, work patterns

15. Organizing Flow of Information
 The system designer should study what is the
prevailing flow of information and compare it with
what should be flow of information

16. Data Management-
 Data Management-A good data management
system involves editing the data.
 Processing Operations - classifying ,analyzing ,
summarizing and editing the data.
 Storage of data- indexing, coding and filing of
information.

17. Implementation
 This phase deals with the fitting in HRIS into the
organization structure.
 The old information flow may be allowed to
continue as it new system may be installed to meet
the requirement of the new operation.

18. Feedback
 The regular feedback regarding the actual
functioning of the HRIS is a must for the designers
to fill up the gap between its planning and
implementation.
 Hence the system should be continuously
reviewed in the light of changes in the
environment both within the organization and
outside the organization

positions and the development needs of
candidates where they fall short of the
requirements for a target job.
