Prompt
Your paper should answer the following: What are the major factors to consider when an organization is considering upgrading or implementing a new human resource information system?
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
Gap assessment - What is the present situation (legacy system), the desired future state (new HRIS), and the gaps that exist between them for the following areas of the organization?
Information Systems - requirements for hardware and operating system software architecture
Human Resources - demographic employee data variables (distinguish which system maintains, how information is updated, any controls, and connectivity with other support functions) and security of the data (availability to functional levels, i.e., employee, manager, finance, operation managers, etc.)
Operations, Finance, Quality - productivity (more or less work) of employees (management/non-management) and cost versus benefit
An informative visual map illustrating:
the current state (no HRIS)
the future state (HRIS system in place)
the interdependency and/or replacement of other databases
Capture projected implementation costs of the new HRIS, i.e., hardware, software, software license fees, facility upgrades required (electrical, mechanical, remodeling), headcount increase to recruit new skill sets, as compared to cost reductions, i.e., employee headcount reductions due to automated data collection, job eliminations, cost savings due to elimination of legacy systems, with the return on investment (ROI) calculated over a four-year period
Summarize components of each HRIS software system in a table format that visually differentiates software packages from the other. Components would be:
Objective (cost, reporting capabilities, operating system, etc.) and
Subjective (ease of use, customer service, reliability of product, customer reviews, etc.)
Develop recommendations that:
Balance the requirement to maintain the security of proprietary and confidential data with the need for self-service maintenance and access by employees
Address the varying degrees of access for managers, support functional groups based on their need to know
The new HRIS system is expected to drive a self-service approach to records management, while also ensuring confidential and proprietary data is secure. In a 12-14 page paper, with a minimum of eight scholarly sources, compare the current human resources data collection system with at least two new HRIS systems that are being considered.This assignment will assess your mastery with respect to the following course outcomes:
Illustrate the interdependency of HR information systems with existing organizational data-collection systems through informative visual maps
Design gap assessment processes that capture the critical organizational needs and requirements for the implementation of an HR information system
Evaluate HR information systems for their ability to meet organizational requirements based on needs assessments
Contrast and compare HR information systems on the basis of organizational financial requirements
