A HRIS (Human Resources Information System) is a tool that effectively helps the HR department become more efficient. It helps every business successfully transition their processes to meet the demands of the twenty-first century. 

Perhaps your organization would like to offer employee training as one of its benefits, but you’re not sure if you can afford it. Or maybe you’re just not sure it’s worth it. After all, how can you quantify learning?

A Human Resources Information System (HRIS) is a valuable tool to improve the productivity of your HR department. Such a system can help you automate many common HR services. This, in turn, gives your HR team more time to work directly with employees and add to the strategic planning for the company.

A new Human Resources Information System (HRIS) can yield important insights into your company’s human resources needs. One such need that may be revealed is high turnover. The cost of employee turnover is staggering, not just in terms of recruiting and hiring new workers, but in time lost to candidate searches and interviews, lost productivity, and lost knowledge as workers exit without transferring information to newcomers. High turnover also hurts employee morale.

One of the attractive features of a human resource information system (HRIS) is the employee self-service portal. Such portals provide employees and their managers with access to select information such as their emergency contacts, job information, events, and skills. An employee can usually view and update their address and emergency contacts, view medical and other benefits and savings plans and even access their pay advices in some cases.

A similar study by the Harvard Business Review found happiness raises nearly every business and educational outcome: raising sales by 37%, productivity by 31%, and accuracy on tasks by 19%. Based on this, we have put together our tried and tested methods for gaining an insight on the company pulse.
