Needed capacities or functions - Human Resources Information System (HRIS)
A Human Resources Information System ("HRIS") should be cloud-based and have the capacity to manage these functions:
Maintain all appropriate personnel records electronically, including:
payroll;
timekeeping; and
benefits administration.
Maintain confidentiality of personnel data.
Advertise positions, track, and accept applications electronically.
Generate appropriate and necessary personnel reports.
Enable paperless workflows and processes such as employee onboarding, open enrollment, and payroll processing.
Ability to require multifactor authentication ("MFA") for administrators and users to gain access to the system or use related technologies, such as single sign-on ("SSO") identity management.
Important Considerations and Best PracticesAn HRIS serves as the hub where employees and managers can access up-to-date information relevant to the workforce. Automation can help streamline all people systems and reduce the risk of errors by reducing manual work. Personnel, procedural and administrative manuals can be made available and constantly updated on an intranet site, centralized knowledge base, etc. The ease with which staff members can obtain information, such as available health benefits, remaining vacation days, or sick leave, can impact their receptivity to other forms of technology.
