What is an HRIS?

Human resources information system (HRIS)  is a form of human resources (HR) software that combines a number of systems and processes to ensure the easy management of human resources, business processes and data. Human resources software is used by businesses to combine a number of necessary HR functions, such as storing employee data, managing payroll, recruitment, benefits administration, time and attendance, employee performance management, and tracking competency and training records. .

HRIS allows a company to plan its HR costs more effectively and leads to greater efficiency in HR decision process.

What are the benefits of an HRIS?

With the right HRIS, you can track changes in everything related to employees: attendance, raises, pay grades, positions held, training, etc. The second aspect is compliance. This includes identification material for employees in case of misbehavior, first contact information in case of accidents, citizen identification information for the IRS, and expiration dates for mandatory certifications. Another reason is efficiency. Having all this information in one place not only helps improve accuracy, but also saves time. A final benefit is the ability to offer self-service HR for staff and managers. This allows employees to manage their own affairs.
