INTRODUCTION HUMAN RESOURCE INFORMATION SYSTEM (HRIS)

Human resource information system (HRIS) is a systematic way of storing data and information for each individual employee for planning, selection, about welfare & safety, termination & promotion. This system provides manager with data to support the routine, repetitive human resource decisions that occur regularly in the organization to make it more effective it should be integrated with the information system with the organization. Information requirements may include : Deliver and responsibility of every job in the organization. Skills possessed by every employee. Organizations future human resource needs. Current productivity of human resources. Identification of training needs.

The Human Resource Information System (HRIS) is a software or online solution for the data entry, data tracking, and data information needs of the Human Resources, payroll, management, and accounting functions within a business.

Normally package as a data base, hundreds of companies sell some form of HRIS and every HRIS has different capabilities.

Acquisition, storage and retrieval of information present a significant challenge of the management. However once the database is create, maintenance becomes a much easier task provided data security and privacy of employee can be safeguarded.

An HRIS, the abbreviation for Nyman resources information is a system that lets you keep tack of all your employees and information inter-related databases. HRIS system includes the employee name and contact information and all or of the following: Department Job title Grade Salary Salary history Position history Supervisor Training completed Special qualifications Ethnicity Date of birth Disabilities

DEFINITION OF HRIS :
Human Resource Information System refers to the system of collecting, recording, classifying, presenting, processing, storing and dissemination various information required for efficient and effective management of human resources in an organization.

In others words :Human Resource Information System is a systematic method of storing data and information of each individual employee to aid planning, decision making and submitting of returns and reports to the external agencies.

CONCEPT OF HRIS :
Initially Human Resource department use to share hardware and files with other departments, later companies began to develop information system devoted inclusively to human resource applications. These systems came to be known as Human Resource Information System. A human resource information system should be designed around a database consisting of employees and position records. The access to the database would be in batch mode or through on-line transactions with adhoc enquiries being satisfied by reports, salary review reports and employee profiles could be used to facilitate the functions of HRIS.

HISTORY OF HRIS :
Developed in the 1960s Used by large companies with their payroll systems. Very expensive to buy and use. Required a full time staff to support them. Provided limited information and were often difficult to customize. Intoduction of Personal Computers in the 1980 made them affordable. Access to electronic information made them popular. Mid 1990s web based sustems became popular. Provided larger storage and better processing capabilities.

USES OF HRIS :

Information is needed for internal control, feedback and corrective actions and for statutory obligation. HRIS is utilized basically for the following purposes Storing information and data of each individual employee for future reference. Providing a basis for planning, organizing, decision-making, controlling and a host of other human resource functions. Meeting daily transactional requirements such as marking present/absent and granting leave. Supplying data submitting returns to government and other statutory agencies.

PURPOSE OF HRIS :
To improve the efficiency with which data on employees and HR activities is compiled. To provide HR information more rapidly and more easily fir use by management in making decisions.

BENEFITS OF HRIS :
The benefits that derived from HRIS are as follows : Higher speed of retrieval and processing of data. Reduction in duplication of leading to reduced cost. Easy in classifying and reclassifying data. Better analysis leading to more effective decision-making Higher accuracy of information/reports generated. Fast response to answer queries, improved quality of reposts.

COMMON HRIS FUNCTIONS :

Mainly following functions are performed by the HRIS in different organizations.

Job analysis information can be placed in the HRIS.

The program can write job descriptions and job specifications. Constant monitoring of compliance with EEO legislation. Maintain records of rejected applicants. Saves money and time in compiling reports.

NEEDS OF HRIS :
Before determining the objectives of HRIS in NTPC, it is necessary to know about the need of HRIS in NTPC. Any HRIS has three major functional components such as input, data maintenance and output.

OBJECTIVES OF HRIS :

1. To offer an adequate, comprehensive & ongoing information about people & jobs. 2. To supply up to date information at a reasonable cost 3. To offer data security & personal privacy

For any study in the organization in order to prepare a project report initially determining the objectives are very important.

The Main Objectives Of HRIS in Ntpc Organization are :

1. To study the components of Human Resource Information System and its role in attaining Organizational goals in short period and in a moderate way.

2. To know how far is the need of HRIS and how can the computer facilitate the better information than methods

3. To find out the important dimensions of HRIS in relation to the organization.

4. To evaluate the problems faced by HRIS and to encourage attending the forums associated to information system.

5. To develop and integrated approach towards Human Resource Information System in NTPC Ltd - Ramagundam.

LIMITATIONS OF HRIS :
Along with benefits there are some limitations, which are derived from HRIS, they are as follows: 1. It can be expensive in terms of finance and manpower requirements. 2. It can be threatening and inconvenient to those who are not comfortable with computers. For computerized information to be useful at all levels there is an urgent need for large-scale computer literacy. 3. Often the personnel designing HRIS do not have q through understanding of what constitutes quality information for the users. Thus, the user managers do not get exactly the reports, which they want. Producing information that is of quality to the users requires investments in time, effort and communication on the part of HRIS managers. 4. Computers cannot substitute human being. Human intervention will always be necessary. Computers can at best aid the human effort. The quality of response is dependent upon the accuracy of data input and quarries fired. The Garbagein Garbage-out (GIGO) is the key expression in any computerized system. 5. In many organizations the system is operated in batch mode with the records being updated once a week. On-line facility in multi user environment needs to be developed so that the reports generated are not out of phase with the realities. In many situations the state information is as good as no information.

WAYS OF APPLYING HRIS IN THE ORGANIZATION :

Some of the applications which could be computerized and the nature and type of information that can be recorded and stored are described below : Personal administration : It will encompass information about each employee such as name, address, date of birth, date of joining the organization and information about next of kin and family. The facility should allow the user to maintain a number of address records such as permanent home address, local postal address and the address of next of kin. Salary administration : Salary review procedures are an important function of the human resources departments. A good human resource information system must be able to perform what if analysis and present the proposed increases in a report suitable for distribution to various departments. The report should give the details of present salary, last increases and the proposed increase. A global update feature, which will require a. Minimum of operator intervention should be available to affect pay increase for employees. Leave/Absence recording : An essential requirement of HRIS is to provide comprehensive and accurate method of controlling leave or absence. A fundamental aspect of leave management is to maintain a complete leave history of each employee with the ability to increase entitlement according to leave rules. Every employee can be issued with an identify card of the employee entering and leaving the gate will be swiped through and timing logged-in and logged-out. This will avoid manual effort in recording data and calculating wages for employees with any possibility of errors by oversight and malpractice.

Skill inventory : Employees to required position and keep track of their movements. A logical progression path and the steps required for advancement can be identified by HRIS after which the individual progress can be monitored.

Recruitment : An essential function of any personal department is recruitment. Recording details of recruitment activity such as the cost and method of recruitment and HRIS is used to record acquired skills and monitor a skill database at both employee and organizational level. This will provide the opportunity to identify employees with the necessary skills for certain position or job. Medical history : The HRIS may be used to record occupational health data required for industrial safety purposes, accident monitoring, exposure to potentially hazardous materials and so on. The records of periodical medical examinations may also maintained. Performance appraisal : The HRIS should individual employee performance appraisal data such as the data of the appraisal, scores for each performance criteria, potential for promotion and other information to form a comprehensive overview obtained from the human resource information system for training, transfer and promotion purposes. Training and development : The system should consider the training and development needed of employee with the ability to record and enquire on courses completed those underway and any projected courses. This will enable any gaps in training to be identified and also allow training costs to be monitored at the organizational level. The system could also be used for recording the details of training imparted to various employees.

Manpower planning : An organization hires people because it has a need to fill a position to ensure that it continues to operate efficiently and with in the budget restraints. Therefore a fundamental aspect of a HRIS should be to record details of the organizational requirements in terms of positions. A HRIS can be used to connect e the method taken

10

to fill the position can be used to provide a picture of the recruitment in terms of times as well as rupee value. Career planning : HRIS could record projected positional moves. The system must be capable of providing succession plan to identify which employee have been earmarked for which positions. Collective bargaining : A computer terminal can be positioned in the conference room and linked to the main database. This will expedite negotiations by readily providing up-to-data and also facilitating what if analysis. This will provide means for discussions based in facts and figures and not feelings and fictions.

STEPS IN IMPLEMENTING HRIS

In order to implement HRIS in any organization certain process is to be followed. In this process certain steps are to be followed, they are: Inception of idea : The originator should create an idea making a preliminary report justifying the needs of HRIS and clearly illustrate how HRIS can assist management in making certain decisions. Feasibility study : The problem areas are to be highlighted. It should carry out a cost benefit analysis of HRIS in terms of labor and material as also the intangible savings such as increased accuracy and fewer errors.

Selecting a project team : The project team should consist of human resource representative, who has knowledge about the organization itself and also a representative from management information system. Defining the requirements: A statement of requirements specific what the system needs to do with the detailed report that is produced the objectives here being

11

to make sure that the mission of an HRIS truly matched with the management needs of an HRIS. Vender analysis : This involves discussions with various analyses. This involves discussions with various vendors to determine what software and hardware are available on how their HRIS will meet the organization need. This help in decision making off-the-shelf package or to develop the system internally. Contract negotiation : The contract stipulating the price, delivery, vendors responsibilities with regard to installation, service maintenance, training to organization employees etc, may be negotiated. Training : Project team members may first be trained to use the system and then could train all users from other departments. Tailoring the system : It involves making changes it the system to best fit the organizational needs. Collecting data : Data is collected and fed into the system. Testing the system : Purpose of the testing is to verify output of HRIS and make sure that it is doing what it is support to do. All reports need to be critically analyzed. Starting up : Even after testing, often some additional errors surface during the start-up. These need to be sorted out. Running in parallel : Just for the security, the new system is run in parallel with the old till new system stabilizes and people gain confidence in its operation.

12

Maintenance : It normally takes several months for the HR people to get acquainted with HRIS. Audit : After a year or so, the project team should audit the performance of HRIS and if required, corrective actions should be taken.
