Human Resource Information Systems

Human resource information systems evolved in the 1980s from simple computer applications t virtual vaults of human resource information and processes. HRIS in a business is used for employment actions such as applicant tracking, performance management, attendance, compensation and benefits management, work force analysis, and scheduling (Mayhew, 2012). Many companies are utilizing the HRIS to supplement for the human resources department staff by making it so employees can find answers to common questions they would a human resource department representative.

The benefit towards using this system is the accuracy of information and the ability of employees and managers to locate answers and information without the need of a HR representative every time. Another advantage is the less need for a qualification technology specialist which would also cut company costs.
