This course is intended to help guide the student as he/she plans, designs, and implements an HRIS. A more thorough understanding of requirements and alternatives leads to more successful and flexible HR systems. We will look at the best ways to create that understanding by combining the technical and functional foundations for students to understand HR management information systems that compose an organization's HRIS technology infrastructure. The purpose is for the student to gain an understanding of these technologies as they relate to and are used in a business setting. Students in the course are expected to develop a general knowledge of currently available Human Resource Information Systems with regard to their capabilities and limitations. A well-designed human resources information system (HRIS) is a powerful, computer-based tool that enables the student to enter and update all types of employee-related information quickly and easily. It lets you access and generate a wealth of HR management information and produce internal reports and external compliance reports as needed. HRIS significantly contributes to the efficiency and effectiveness of your HR function. Students gain basic skills using technology and become familiar with methods, resources, and criteria for evaluating and selecting resources and technology appropriate to the Human Resources function.
