Human Resource Technology

I am a knowledge freak, so I keep looking around for more and more information about various industries, products, services. I always get fascinated with the way the Human Resource department manage the organizational needs.

The pace & volume of modern change is focusing attention on ways human resource development activities can be used to ensure organization members have what it takes to successfully meet their challenges.

An HR professional must perform a wide variety of functional roles. He has the primary responsibility for all HRD activities. Human resource management is a management function that helps Managers plan, recruit, select, train, develop & retain members for an organization. Human Resource Operations can be categorized under five broad parameters that are:

• Hiring Process
• Joining/induction & Training Process
• Administration/record keeping,
• Career management process and
• Exit process.

Record keeping is a key activity that needs to be planned and administered methodically which contains all the necessary details of an employee.

After the employees have been hired, trained and remunerated they need to be retained and maintained to serve the organization better. Welfare facilities are designed to take care of the well-being of the employees – they generally do not result in any monetary benefit to the employees and making a conducive environment for the employees to work in is the primary objective. Understanding their various needs, setting goals for them and doing their career planning along with their respective managers and motivating them that in turn would increase their productivity is what the HR keep doing.

With the kind of responsibilities handled by the HR, I think the future is all about single-source integration of all HR functionalities into online management system. In simple terms, it is Human Resource Information System (HRIS). At this point, I landed up into a white paper published by iEmployee.com's Mr.Snehal Shah. Let me share with you, it’s a wonderful piece of information for anybody into the U.S HR industry since it talks about how effective and beneficial it is for any organization to move from regular HR management system to HRIS.

You know managing our employee Timesheets, their benefits, appraisals, their time off hours, their expenses and we can keep on adding into the list. All this is a tedious job and with the introduction of this HRIS new technology all gets done instantly.

I am very much impressed with this piece of white paper and I think anyone can get this. Here is a link for you all. Free Human Resource Outsourcing Technology White Paper
