INTRODUCTION
OF
HUMAN RESOURCE INFORMATION
SYSTEM
8/2/2019 Amit Final Final Project
8/75
General introduction of Human resource information system
Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) have become one of the
most important tools for many businesses. Even the small, 20-person office needs to
realize the benefits of using HRIS to be more efficient. Many firms do not realize how
much time and money they are wasting on manual human resource management (HRM)
tasks until they sit down and inventory their time. HRIS is advancing to become its own
information technology (IT) field. It allows companies to cut costs and offer more
information to employees in a faster and more efficient way. Especially in difficult
economic times, it is critical for companies to become more efficient in every sector of
their business; human resources (HR) are no exception.
HRIS refers to software packages that address HR needs with respect toplanning, employee information access, and employer regulatory compliance. The
following text begins with a discussion of human resource planning, followed by human
resource management systems.
Management processes, and systems. This is in contrast to the traditional
emphasis on transferable resources such as equipment. Increasingly, it is being
recognized that competitive advantage can be obtained with a high quality work force
that enables organizations to compete on the basis of market responsiveness, product and
service quality, Differentiated products, and technological innovation.
The effective management of human resources in a firm to gain a
competitive advantage in the marketplace requires timely and accurate information on
current employees and potential employees in the labor market. With the evolution of
computer technology, meeting this information requirement has been greatly enhanced
through the creation of HRIS. A basic assumption behind this book is that the
management of employee information will be the critical process that helps a firm
maximize the use of its human resources and maintain competitiveness in its market.
The first purpose of this book is to provide information on the
development, implementation, and maintenance of an HRIS. The second purpose is to
demonstrate how an HRIS can be used in HRM programs, such as selecting and trainingemployees, to make them more efficient and effective. The final purpose is to provide an
opportunity for you to apply your knowledge through the analysis of the cases at the end
of each chap
In hris management needs the flow of information back for various
purposes like performance appraisal, salary fixation, providing benefits, perks,
promotions, transfer and demotions, career planning, and development etc, further,
feedback of information is necessary to appraise the performance of various personal

programs, modern managements are widely concerned with the successful
implementation of personal programs and with improving them continuously.
Personal records and respects at this juncture help the management to records the
information and provide the past information to the management as and when necessary
Human Resources is an organizational function that deals with issues such asrecruitment and selection, training, appraisal, compensation and performance
management of the employee.
Human beings are also considered to be resources because it is the ability ofhumans that helps to change the gifts of nature into valuable resources. While
taking into account human beings as resources, the following things have to be
kept in mind:
The size of the population The quality "The people that staff and operate an organization"; as contrasted with the
financial and material resources of an organization.
It is a merger of HRM discipline with IT fields. The HRIS provides a
method, by which an organization collects, maintains analyses & reports information on
people & job.It helps HR managers perform HR functions in a more effective and
systematic way using technology.The application of computers to employee-relatedrecord keeping and reporting, and management decision making.
The Human Resources Information Systems department oversees the
delivery and administration of all human resources information systems, hardware
operations, and the development and support of the Center for Human Resources Web
site. Our mission is to create a positive experience with the Center for Human Resources
department and enhance customer interaction with our systems and processes.

Onward Mobility, the company that uses the brick and mortar retail model for sellingmobile apps claims to have sold 400,000 apps since it launched launched commercially in
January 2011. It believes that a market like India is not mature enough for self-service or
DIY (Do It Yourself) app stores, just like assistance is sought in other retail segments.The company claims a presence in major cities across the country, apart from four states
in the southern part of India, . It plans to go pan-India by November this year. According
to Arun Menon, CEO of Onward Mobility, the company sells apps through a network of
10,000 retailers.
- Infrastructure at retailers end: The retailer need not install a computer at hispremises. He transfers apps to the consumers phone through Bluetooth or via a Memory
Card. The customers buys a scratch card which has a license code which can even be
sent over the air through SMS to activate the app.
- Why physical retail? According to Menon, a large part of the eco-system has alreadybeen developed by telecom operators. Besides small business owners who sell related
products, the apps are also sold through retail chains like The Mobile Store and Spice
Hotspot.
Menon feels that the current online app store model faces challenges of discovery,
payments and trust. For a consumer browsing through hundreds of apps is tedious. He
says that one cant expect the masses to search and analyze features, buy apps and install
them on their own. The challenge of payments is also a major problem with an extremely
low credit card penetration. Menon adds that the telecom operator billing model is a
flawed model since tacos see apps and VAS services as a part of the data revenue andtheir focus is on enhancing it.
He gave the example of how ISPs had their own content portals when the internet was at
a nascent stage, and how wall over the top players such as Face book, Google and Yahoo
have now replaced them. He adds that selling apps through a retailer makes him a human
recommendation engine. He would have a better idea of what a consumer walking into
his establishment is more likely to buy.
-Deals & Rev Share:Onward Mobility doesnt deal with mobile operators, so revenue
sharing takes place between the content developer, distributor, and retailer and aftertaking out other costs including marketing and sales expenditure, the rest goes out to the
company. According to Menon, the content developer gets around 10%-25% of net
revenue after taxes, the same percentage goes to the retailer, while the distributors share
is between 8%-15%.

-Apps: The Company retails productivity and utility apps, health apps and games, andhas signed deals with 5-6 partners including EA Sports through Nazara, Hero Craft and
Bull Guard. It is also in talks with entertainment and education content providers. Menon
says that the company will not retail frivolous fart apps, and will only do premium high
value apps which solve real world problems, such as privacy apps, phonebook apps,
mobile antivirus, call recording apps and others. The price range of apps starts from Rs300 and goes up to Rs 1,000. However, some upcoming apps are also priced between Rs
2,000 and Rs 5,000. The company offers 10 apps in the utility space and all game titles
from EA-Nazara and Hero Craft for J2ME, Symbian, BlackBerry and Android platforms.
- Marketing: Menon says that Onward Mobility has 500 people on the field who lookafter marketing and below the line promotions including canopy activities, road shows
and others. They also look after product training and costumer education At Onward
Mobility, we believe that mobile phones, as you buy them, can only go so far. We also
believe that mobile phones can be, and do, so much more. Why cant mobile phones
become medical tools? Encyclopedia? Remote control? Computers? Or even anti-terrorgadgets? Onward Mobility focuses on developing cutting-edge, never-seen-before
software for mobile phones. Software that transforms phones into something altogether
different, giving them abilities they never had before Indias first and only mobile
application and distribution company opens Indias first offline mobile application storeMobiWorld. The application MobiGames is powered by Herocraft which is a pack of
10 games. Onward Mobility offers a wide range of apps that includes all premium
applications like MobiCop, MobiSecret, MobiCopy, MobiDND, MobiRecord &
MobiProtect powered by Junos Secure & Bull Guard. Onward Mobility is first of its kind
offline App Store which caters to the mass consumer base of India.
Elated Mr. Arun Menon, Founder & CEO, Onward Mobility said, We arevery happy to announce the launch of first of its kind VAS concept store where end
customers would be able to experience, buy and side-load mobile apps, games, content
and mVAS." The company also has a comprehensive strategy in place to scale up the
number of MobiWorld stores all over the country.Onward Mobility is a VAS
development and marketing company with a unique business model of selling and
distributing its own and third party products (applications and VAS) through retail
counters across India. It is already tied-up with over 10,000 prominent mobile retail
stores all across India in order to market mobile applications. It has marked its footprints
across 8 states in the country and has been rapidly expanding its presence.
Mr Arun Menon further stated, We are glad being the only company in
India with a direct to consumer business model of retailing mobile applications as against
most other mobile applications companies which are looking at selling their products
through online channels like applications stores. At our stores we have well trained
people at place who are going to better educate an end consumer with the benefits and the
usage of the myriad mobile applications. Onward Mobility has also already entered into
strategic partnerships with many content publishers and intends to roll out their partners

evaluating an enterprise or product that is proposed to be manufactured, reports are
submitted to top management or to the superiors. Therefore, employees have to preparean effective report. The essential conditions of an effective report are:
It should deal with a specific objective. It should dwell on the issues referred to the person making it. The person who makes the report should collect the data and interpret it honestly. A report should contain data all the aspects of data personal management. It should make specific recommendation. It should be timely, so that proper action may be taken on it. It should be clearly worded and easily comprehensible. It may include illustrative points to strengthen the observation made in it.Importance:
A number of trends seem to have contributed to a growing reliance on
computers as information-processing and decision-aiding tools in HRM. The emergence
of the human resource management field (versus personnel administration) gave the
human resource function greater credibility within the managerial hierarchy, necessitating
more sophisticated use of information, especially as it related to the strategic
management function. Firms have experienced increased competitive pressures that have
translated into greater cost containment demands from upper management, leading togreater automation of the record-keeping function in the HRM field. The ready
availability of microcomputers and relatively user friendlysoftwaremeans, that to an
increasing extent, human resource managers are no longer dependent on information
system professionals to develop and implement applications (which might be assigned a
lower priority than other management functions). Many HRM departments in larger
organizations have also developed internal information system capabilities, so that HRIS
units have been established.

Performance appraisals: Performance appraisals of Employees are necessary tounderstand each employees abilities, competencies and relative merit and worth for the
organization. Performance appraisal rates the employees in terms of their
performance. HRIS helps to measure the performances of the employees as per the
recorded data in HRIS data system.
Compensation and benefits: Compensation and benefits (abbreviated C&B) is a
sub-discipline of human resources, focused on employee compensation and benefitspolicy-making. An employee should be given appropriate benefits of the work done by
them which in turn leads to the profit of the company but the employee should also be
compensated for the loss occurred cause of them. HRIS helps the Human Resource team
in policy making, and helps them to decide the proper benefit plan.
Staffing: The managerial function of staffing involves manning the organizationstructure through proper and effective selection, appraisal and development of the
personnels to fill the roles assigned to the employers. HRIS gives the clear idea about the
requirement of the staff. The proper updated HRIS gives proper idea that whether there is
need of the new staff or not.
Human Resource Development: Human Resource Development (HRD) is theframework for helping employees develops their personal and organizational skills,
knowledge, and abilities. Human Resource Development includes such opportunities as
employee training, employee career development, performance management and
development, coaching, mentoring, succession planning, key employee
identification, tuition assistance, and organization development. Human Resource

Management takes help of the HRIS to develop the interest of their employees towards
the work.
Health, safety and security: For smooth functioning of an organization, the employerhas to ensure safety and security of his employees. The terms health, safety and security
are closely related to each other. Health is the general state of well being. It not onlyincludes physical well being, but also emotional and mental well being. Safety refers to
the act of protecting the physical well being of an employee. It will include the risk of
accidents caused due to machinery, fire or diseases. Security refers to protecting facilities
and equipments from unauthorized access and protecting employees while they are on
work. An error free HRIS leads to accident free environment at the organization.
Labor Relations: Labor relations are the study and practice of managing unionizedemployment situations. In academia, labor relations is frequently a subarea
within industrial relations, though scholars from many disciplines--including economics,
sociology, history, law, and political science--also study labor unions and labormovements. In practice, labor relations are frequently a subarea within human resource
management. Courses in labor relations typically cover labor history, labor law, union
organizing, bargaining, contract administration, and important contemporary topics.[
Human Resource Planning and analysis: The ongoing process of systematicplanning to achieve optimum use of an organization's most valuable asset - its human
resources. The objective of human resource (HR) planning is to ensure the best fit
between employees and jobs, while avoiding manpower shortages or surpluses. The three
key elements of the HR planning process are forecasting labor demand, analyzing present
labor supply, and balancing projected labor demand and supply. A well updated andtimely updated HRIS ensures a fact based plan for the employees. Analysis is the process
used to collect information about the duties, responsibilities, necessary skills, outcomes,
and work environment of a particular job. You need as much data as possible to put
together ajob description, which is the frequent outcome of the job analysis. Additional
outcomes include recruiting plans,position postings and advertisements,
andperformance development planningwithin yourperformance management system.
HRIS important role in providing vital information time to time for the analysis.

SOME OTHER IMPORTANCE OF THE HRIS:
Helps to keep the record:As in other types of information systems, an HRIS consistsof a database, which contains one or more files in which the data relevant to the system
are maintained, and a database management system, which provides the means by which
users of the system access and utilize these data. The HRIS thus contains tools that allowusers to input new data and edit existing data; in addition, such programs provide users
with the opportunity to select from an array of predefined reports that may either be
printed or displayed on a monitor. Reports may address any of a number of different
HRM issues (e.g., succession planning, compensation planning, equal employment
opportunity monitoring).
Helps to prepare information based report: HRISs also generally include tools bywhich users or system administrators may generate ad hoc reports and select specific
cases or subsets of cases for display.In order to understand the types of applications
available to HRIS users, it is best to consider the evolving nature of human resourceinformation systems applications. The HRM field lagged behind a number of other
functional areas ofmanagementin the utilization of computer applications, but beginning
in the late 1980s extensive use of sophisticated applications began to appear. Prior to that
time, manual record systems often dominated in personnel or human resource
departments. Computer applications used in the field were generally limited to basic
record keeping and payroll management systems. Virtually all such systems were based
on mainframe computers and required extensive support from information systems
professionals. Thus, human resource managers had little opportunity to design
sophisticated reports and computer-based analytical tools to aid in managerial decision
making. In general, uses of computers in HRM fell into the category of electronic dataprocessing applications, which generally involve the automation of relatively routine
tasks (e.g., calculating pay and printing checks).

34/75
Role of HRIS:
Important factor has been the development of numerous HRIS products by
external vendors. There are several full-featured, human resource-dedicated database
management systems available, both for mainframe and micro platforms. Perhaps the
best known of these is PeopleSoft, although numerous other such products exist. Many ofthese utilize client-server architectures, where databases reside on a central server and are
accessed from individual workstations, connected to a network, via local client
applications. There is also a trend toward enterprise-wide applications that integrate
information system applications for various managerial functions (e.g., marketing,
finance, human resources), which facilitates communication across functional areas,
economizes on information system development at the enterprise level, and allows firms
to collate information from multiple sources to facilitate strategic planning at the business
unit and corporate levels. Examples of commonly used integrated systems that include
HRIS modules are SAP and Oracle.
Specialized applications, intended to supplement HRISs, are also widely
available. These include modules to aid in such areas as succession planning, benefits
administration, applicant tracking, job evaluation, employee performance evaluation,
grievance handling, and labor relations. These products, coupled with declining costs of
computer systems (especially microcomputer systems) and the increasing user-
friendliness of computer applications, have meant that the use of HRISs is increasingly
attractive to practitioners.
As a result of the rapid change in computer and software technology,
HRIS-related products are constantly upgrading and changing. Advanced Personnel
Systems, a California-based HRIS consulting firm, markets a fairly up-to-date database
listing a wide-range of HRISs and supplementary programsalong with descriptions ofthe capabilities of these systemsto guide managers in selecting appropriate products.
There are also several conferences and shows held annually around the United States that
are dedicated to advances in HRM-relatedinformation technologyapplications, including
HRISs. HRIS vendors often demonstrate products at such shows. Leading practitioner-
oriented magazines, such asHR Magazine (published by the Society of Human Resource
Management), review new products and carry articles highlighting changes in the field.
And not surprisingly, a number of web sites document HRIS resources on the Internet. A
comprehensive listing of major HRIS sites can be obtained through the "Software and
Technology" section ofWorkindex.com, a comprehensive index of Internet resourcesrelated to human resource management.
Perhaps the most significant development in the HRIS area currently is
the growing use of organizational intranets as a means of managing many aspects of a
firm's HRIS. An intranet is an internal network that makes use of World Wide Web
technology (browsers, servers, etc.) to gather and disseminate information within the
http://www.enotes.com/biz-encyclopedia/information-technologyhttp://www.enotes.com/biz-encyclopedia/information-technologyhttp://www.enotes.com/biz-encyclopedia/information-technologyhttp://www.enotes.com/human-resource-information-system-hris-reference/Workindex.comhttp://www.enotes.com/human-resource-information-system-hris-reference/Workindex.comhttp://www.enotes.com/human-resource-information-system-hris-reference/Workindex.comhttp://www.enotes.com/human-resource-information-system-hris-reference/Workindex.comhttp://www.enotes.com/biz-encyclopedia/information-technology8/2/2019 Amit Final Final Project
35/75
firm. Intranets may be linked to the external Internet, but are usually secured in a variety
of ways so that only authorized users can access the information on the internal
components. While it is quite easy to generate static extracts of HRIS data tables, queries,
forms, and reports for posting on an intranet, it is also quite feasible to establish live links
between an intranet and a firm's HRIS. This allows real-time collection and display of
information. Thus employees can complete forms online that enroll them in benefitsprograms, allow them to bid on job openings, let them submit suggestions, and facilitate
filing of various claims. In addition, intranet displays can be tailored to the needs of
specific users. The user may check on the current status of his or her fringe benefits,
vacation time, training program enrollment, or pension fund. Intranets obviously require
extensive security measures to prevent inappropriate changing or accessing of data. The
issues seem to have been addressed, however, and HRIS products are increasingly
emphasizing their functionality in intranet environments.
Another variant is the extranet. Again, relying on World Wide Web
technology, such systems allow organizations to interact with clients in a secureenvironment that mimics the Internet. Thus a health insurance company might establish
an extranet that links to the intranets of its major clients. Employees in client
organizations can then connect to the insurance vendor's extranet from within the
employer's intranet environment in order to check on the status of their policies, obtain
coverage information, file claims, and follow-up on outstanding claims.
All indications are that HRISs will continue to play an increasingly important
role in the HRM field. An important driving factor is that HRISs facilitate process
reengineering in the HRM area, thus promoting greater efficiency. Functions that once
were carried out manually and in many steps can often be largely automated. And the
business firm's continuing demand for information to facilitate planning and strategy
formulation will necessitate further reliance on HRISs. Finally, the linking of HRISs to
organizational intranets is apt to gain in popularity as a relatively inexpensive and
appealing means of gathering and distributing human resource information.

HUMAN RESOURCE RESEARCH
The Human Resource Research enables the smooth flow of information in
HRIS. It is the important key for HRIS. A proper and error less Human Resource
Research helps HRIS work efficiently. The study of human resource practices and
activities gives the extent of success or failure of policies and practices. Research onHRM activities Provides an understanding of what does work, what does not work, what
needs change, the nature and the extent of change. Personal research is the task ofsearching for, and analyzing of facts to that personal problem may be solved or principle
and laws governing their solutions derived.
According to Dale Yoder. Research is a shortcut to knowledge and
understanding which can replace the shower, more precarious road of trial and error in
experience. It implies, searching investigation, re-examination, reassessments and
revolutions. It is a purposive and systematic investigation designed to test carefully
considered hypotheses or thoroughly framed questions.
Characteristics of Human resource research
Human resource research is purposive. In order words, it seeks to answer specificquestions.
HR research is objective. It recognizes and limits bias and prejudice in every stepof the process.
It is systematic. It beings with a comprehensive plan or design. Investigation isconducted based on that design.
HR research is parsimonious. It identifies methods and techniques for the solutionof the problem with the minimum cost.
HR research is repeatable. It can be used by different researches at the same time. It is planned and designed investigation and analysis. It is conducted in a systematic manner to check or verify or disprove clues,
assumption or hunches.

Objective of HR Research
The basis objective of human resource research is to enquire into the present status of HR
practices and activities against the HR objectives and policies. The specific objectives
are:
To measure and evaluate present conditions. To predict future conditions, events and behavioral patterns. To evaluate the effects and result of current policies, programs, practices and
activities.
To provide an objectives basis for a revision of current policies, programs,practice, and activities.
To appraise proposed policies, programs, and activities. To discover ways and means of strengthening the abilities and attitudes of
employees at a good or high level and on a continuous basis.
To evaluate and review the linkage and knitting between organizational strategiesand HRM strategies.
Need for Human Resource Research
Understanding human resource research is often crucial in solving HR problems asit is difficult to make effective decisions without accurate information the human
resource research due to the following reasons.
To build upon existing knowledge: Growth of the knowledge is a continuous and anever ending process. Human resource knowledge grows at a faster rate HR
research contribute significantly for building up of the existing HRM knowledge.
Evaluation of proposed programs, practices and activities: The proposedprograms, practices and activities are need to be apprised thoroughly, beforeimplementation. HR research provides necessary information for evaluation.
Evaluation of current and new policies and practices: The action research providesfor implementation of policies and practices based on the results of the research.
Anticipation of personal problem: The HR problems are the outcome ofemployees dissatisfaction over several issues. These problems will lead to

industrial disputes. The HR research can predict the possible problem and suggest
measures for their prevention.
Approaches to human resource researchThe approaches to human resource research include:
Historical studies. Case studies. Survey research. Statistical studies. Mathematical models. Simulation. Field or action research. Exploratory studies. Experimental studies.
The process of Human resource research
The HR research process begins from the stage of a sign of grievance of
employee the management to be proactive should identify the possible future employee
problem and offer solutions to prevent them. If, prevention of problems id not possible
the management should conduct research for solving the HRM problem. The stages of
HRM/HRD research include:
Formulation of a problem Selection of hypothesis Formulation of objectives Design of experiment or enquiry Description of Methodology including sampling procedure Collection of secondary and primary data Preparation of working guide Analysis and interpretation Report writing and submission to the top management for action

HRIS Users:Human resource management is applicable to all the employees in the organization. But
managing the HRIS is the tough task. HRIS could be used by all the employees to view

HOW THE HRIS WORKS ?
INPUTS:-Input of HRIS includes information related to employees such as education, training, age,
experience, training, present status, present salary, whether promoted or not and other
necessary details. The computerized human resource information system is in all respect
superior to manual system, which is time consuming and not so effective.
Transformation:-The information fed to the computer can be transformed into more meaningful and
necessary information that is exactly required by the organization. This is the conversion
stage of computerized HRIS. The information generated is very useful to the managers.
Output:-Output refers to the printouts of the transformed material from the computer printer like
salary statement, report on performance of an employee, budget estimates, etc. A wellknit HRIS acts as a worth decision support organism of a very high quality.
Feed back and control:-Whether the output obtained is relevant and useful or not must be known. The method of
ensuring it is known as feedback. Feedback establishes control over the system.

Essential Feature of an Information System
An information system combines related operations and procedures
perform a major organization and management activity (such as document production). T
efficient andsuccess of the system depend on careful planning, organization, and control by t
supporting staff. The objectives of an information system include:
Decision making and supplying the best possible current information tomanagemen.
Eliminating duplication of work. Saving time by using more efficient methods. Establishing uniform procedures. Identifying responsibility for work and performance. Improving service, including providing necessary training for all who operate
within the system.
Steps in implementing HRIS
Step 1 inception of data:-The idea having an HRIS must originate somewhere. The originator of the idea shouldprepare a report showing the need of HRIS and what it can do for the organization.
Step 2 selecting project team:-Once it has been selected, then the project team should be selected. It comprises of an HR
representative.
Step 3 defining the requirements:-The key here is to make sure that the mission of the HRIS truly matches managements
needs for an HRIS.
Step 4 vendor analysis:-It determines what hardware and software are available that will best meet the
organization's needs for the lowest price.
8/2/2019 Amit Final Final Project
42/75
Step 5 package contract negotiation:-
After a vendor has been selected, the contract must be negotiated. The contract stipulates
the vendors responsibilities with regard to software installation, service, maintenance,documentation.
Step 6 training:-First the HR members of the project team are trained to use the HRIS. Then the HRrepresentative will train managers from other departments.
Step 7 tailoring the system:-This step involves making changes to the system to best fit the needs of the organization.
Step 8 collecting the data:-Prior to the start up, data must be collected and entered into the system.
Step 9 testing the system:-Its purpose is to verify the output of the HRIS and to make sure it is doing what it is
supposed to do
Step 10 starting up:-Start up begins when all the current actions are put into the system and reports are
produced. It is wise to attempt start up during a lull period so that max. Possible time can
be devoted to HRIS.
Step 11 running in parallel:-Even after the new HRIS has been tested, it is desirable to run the new system in parallel
with the old system for a period of time.
Step 12 maintenance:-It normally takes several weeks or even months for the HR people to feel comfortable
with the new system. During this period any remaining errors and adjustments should be
handled.
Step 13 evaluation:-After the HRIS has been in place for a reasonable length of time, the system should be
evaluated. Is the HRIS right for the organization and it is being properly used or not.

Human Resource Audit
An audit is review and verification of completed transaction to see whether
they represent a true state of affairs of the business or not. Thus, an audit is an
examination and verification of accounts and records. Human resource audit refers to anexamination and evaluation of policies, procedures and practices to determine the
effectiveness of HRM in essence, HR audit refers to:
The measurement of the human resource managements mission, objectives,strategies, policies, procedures, programs and activities.
The deter is to nation of what should or should not be done in the future as a resultof such measurement.
Objectives of HR Audition as: To review the whole system get answer, m to management programmers in
which a management develops, allocates, and supervises human resources in
an organization with a view to determining the effective of these programs.
To seek explanation and information ; the s to get answer to such answersto such questions as : why did it happens ? and what happened ?
To evaluate the extent to which line managers have implemented the policieswhich have already been initiated?
To evaluate the personnel staff and employees.According to greasy, the primary purpose of personnel audit is to know how the
ns for various unit are functioning and how they have been able to meet the
policies and guidelines which were agreed upon; and to asset the rest of the
origination by identifying the gap between objectives and results for the end-
product of an evaluation audhould be to formulate plans for correction or

Need for HR audit
Though there is no legal obligation to audit the HR programs and activities,Organization audit the HR programmed due to the following needs.
The number of employeesvery small units , because of the very small number ofperson they employ, require comparatively little in the way of a formal audit. Organizational structure: - continuing feedback is facilities if an organization has aHR I department.
Communication and feedback: - and an effective two way communication systemoften reduces the need for a formal audit.
Location and dispersion: - the need for a formal and audit is directly related to thenumber of isolated plan.
Status of an individual relation manager: - if the participate in top managementplans , reports, discussion and decisions, the need for a formal audit may be less
frequently felt.
Administrative style : - the greater the delegation of authority and decentralizationof a power, the greater the value of a regular and formal audit.
Areas of HR Audit
The areas of HR audit include:
Mission statement relating to human resource management. Objectives, goals, and strategies of human resource management. Accomplishments of human resource management Programs of human resource management including the detailed practices and
Procedures.
Human resource management policies. Human resource management philosophy, its practices and values.
Responses of employees, trade unions and government to the practices andachievements.
Role of human resources in total quality management Role of human resources management in achieving organization's mission, Objectives, goals and strategies.

Advantages of HR audit
Every organization should look back in order to proceed ahead. The
evolution and the study of the existing objectives, policies and practices of human
resource management indicate to what extent they contribute to the organizational goalsfurther, they indicate to what extent the practices are in accordance with the objectives.
Audit enables the management to review the HRM policies in the light of the result of the
audit and the changing environmental factor affecting HRM audit per vides accurate and
reliable information to the management at all levels. The advantages of personal audit
include.
It served as a check on the activity of personal management department. It generates wide understanding of the both policy and practice in manpower
management.
It highlights the need for line-self co-operation. It focuses attention on what is being done and what needs to be done. It assists staff in convincing highrt management of the need for manpower policy
and practice
Guidelines for effective design of the HRIS:
The user of the information should be included in the design team. Cost of money and time of system should be taken in account and match them
with benefits derived from the system.
Weight age should be given to relevance and selectivity over sheer quantity. The system should be tested before it is installed. Adequate training and documentation should be provided for the operations and
users of the system.
Information should be disaggregated and similar decision should be aggregated. The decisions system must be thoroughly analyzed.

Methodology
DATA COLLECTION METHODS & SOURCES
8/2/2019 Amit Final Final Project
48/75
Data collection is an important aspect of any type of research study. Inaccurate Data
collection can impact the results of a study and ultimately lead to invalid results. Data
collection methods for impact evaluation vary along a continuum. At the one end of this
continuum are quantitative methods and at the other end of the continuum are Qualitative
methods for data collection.
In everyday life human being has to face many problems viz. social, economical,
financial problems. These problems in life call for acceptable and effective solutions and
for this purpose, research is required and a methodology applied for the solutions can be
found out.
Research was carried out at ONWARD MOBILITY LTD. to find out the
Human resource information system.
The Quantitative Data Collection Methods rely on random sampling and structured
data collection instruments that fit diverse experiences into predetermined response
categories. They produce results that are easy to summarize, compare, and generalize.
Quantitative research is concerned with testing hypotheses derived from theory and or
being able to estimate the size of a phenomenon of interest. Depending on the research
question, participants may be randomly assigned to different treatments. If this is not
feasible, the researcher may collect data on participant and situational characteristics in
order to statically control for their influence on the dependent, or outcome, variable. If
the intent is to generalize from the research participants to a larger population, the
researcher will employ probability sampling to select participants.
Qualitative Data Collection Methods plays an important role in impact evaluation by
providing information useful to understand and processes behind observed results and
assess changes in peoples perceptions of their well-being. Furthermore qualitative
methods can because to improve the quality of survey-based quantitative evaluation by
helping generate evaluation hypothesis; strengthening the design of survey questionnaires
and expanding or clarifying quantitative evaluation findings.
Data collection is another important job for doing any kind of research. When any person
starts any work, data collection is very important and it should be done in a verysystematic way.

In this research project the researcher option following two ways of data collection.
1. Primary Data2. Secondary Data1. Primary Data:-
Raw data is a term for unprocessed data; it is also known as primary data. It is a
relative term (see data). Raw data can be input to a computer programmed or used in
manual analysis. Primary data was collected through survey method by distributing
questionnaires to branch manager and other HR executive. The questionnaires were
carefully designed by taking into account the parameters of my study.
2. Secondary Data:-
Information collected by the degree of reliability, validity, and precision in secondarydata depends on how it was collected and interpreted. Census data is one example of
secondary data. Data was collected from books, magazines, web sites, going through
the records of the organization, etc. It is the data which has been collected by
individual or someone else for the purpose of other than those of our particular
research study. Or in other words we can say that secondary data is the data used
previously for the analysis and the results are undertaken for the next process.

-: SAMPLING PLAN :-
Sampling is that part of statistical practice concerned with
the section of a sunset of individual observation within a population of individualsintents to yield some knowledge about the all employees. Sampling gives scope for more
accurate data. The researcher can concentrate on the sample and make a thoroughprobing. The researcher cannot discharge his work with the level of diligence as is
required in dealing with a large population. It is possible for the researcher to collect
more elaborate information from the few sample units than from the large population.
Collection of data from all units leads to administrative problems and therefore in depth
study becomes difficult. When the universe is extremely large, it will be very difficult to
study every unit of the universe. Hence, sampling is the only practical method for
collection of data. Information is collected from only a portion of the population. The
data can be collected and summarized more quickly. The results are available quickly and

practice concerned with the selection of a subset of individual observations within a
population of individuals intended to yield some knowledge about the Population of

Limitation of the HRIS
It can be expensive in case of system. Its effective application needs large-scale computer literacy among the employees
responsible for maintaining HRIS.
It needs continuous updating to make it work effectively. Not suitable for small size organizations. HRIS can be problematic for small
businesses in which some employees wears many hats. If your company is big
enough to have a dedicated human resources technology specialist, consider
outsourcing.
While I was preparing the project due to absentees of the employees in theorganization I couldn't come to meet every single person in the organization.
Some of the employees working in the organization couldn't understand thequestion.
The organization's employees while Resolving Customer Grievance takes morethan one week time to solve it.
In the organization there is only one system use by all employees.
Some of the disadvantages of an HRIS involve human error during informationinput, costly technology to update your system and malfunctions or insufficient
applications to support your human resources needs. There is a demand for
computer and technology specialists with general information technology
knowledge, and finding a qualified specialist with human resources functional area
knowledge can be difficult. With such a demand, your cost to hire an HRIS
specialist may be far above the average salary for a computer technologyspecialist. The cost per-hire for another employee in a specialized field may be a
stretch for some small businesses.

CONCLUSION
HRIS is considered a strategic way to develop a new philosophy towards the way in
which people are managed in an organization. Many decision making strategies are
based on HR analysis, which is used to determine whether current HR capabilities are
congruent with the desired organizational objectives. The development of HRIS
applications that cater to the needs of human resources is very important. From a broader
perspective, an HRIS yields a well-managed business with better informed employee The
implementation of HRIS applications results in two benefits: Efficiency of operations
and streamlined HR administration. Effectiveness when management can spend more
time in decision-making and strategic planning, and less time on information input and
day-to-day HR administration.
Summary, this report has revealed the following:
By automating Human Resource practices, HRIS saves time and money, effectively
reallocates work processes and thus provides competitive advantage and adds strategic
value to the organization.HR managers must make use of HRIS to achieve improved performance and removing
routine administration allows them to become professional consultants to the rest of the
organization.
Comprehensive HRIS provides the needed information within the shortest period and at
reduced cost.

RECOMMENDATION
Whilst this study has confirmed existing studies into HRIS, it provides a platform
for future work in this area, which should concentrate on a number of issues. First, a
detailed research would be needed to explore the role of HRIS especially; with
Much, bigger sample size and a higher response rate so that a deeper analysis can be done
for generalization. Second, HRIS represent a large investment decision for companies ofall sizes. However, SMEs are increasingly failing to use HRIS in support of strategic
HRM tasks. It would therefore be very interesting if future research could geared towards
finding answers to why SMEs are reluctant to commit time and resources for the
implementation of HRIS in strategic HR tasks. This will enable a careful analysis and
diligent consideration of HRIS application to strategic HR tasks since a successful
execution is rewarded with numerous benefits including improved accuracy, provision of
just-in-time information, and costs saving Third, an in-depth study on HRIS usage in
support of trade unions relations with organizations needs further examination. This will
allow both the trade unions and the employers to manage and resolve conflicts and other
related labor issues efficiently and effectively. Finally, as HRIS becomes an increasingly
vital component of SHRM tasks performance, researchers must expand their efforts to
understand the opportunities and threats that
