Summary

Nowadays, technology usage has deeply influence HR functions within the organization. These all system makes the organizations more effective and efficient. I exposed to the model of HRIS and how the model running. A good and well plan system needs to take time to have dry run. It is to make sure that the system have no problem and are easily use by all types of users. Furthermore, the system help many organizations grow faster especially for the international company that have many workers. These systems can make the data more easily to manage and always up to date. Moreover, by invented web-based technologies, manually HR function will become automated, by using computerized instead of manually in the past. All of the paper work/information can be easily processed through computerized system whether to store for reference or conduct analysis. Besides that, web-based technology had also provided more comprehensive and ideal learning toward employees as it helps enhance their knowledge and skill toward their work. Less time and cost are identified when using web-based because employees just need to enrol to their website and have learning in anytime and anyplace they prefer. As a conclusion, HR issue has become more concerned by an organization for the purpose to be able to competitive with competitors and also help organization to build up their businesses in worldwide with their effective HRIS that have implemented.

Web-based Technology & Employee Learning and Development (ELD)

The next topic I learned is some related to employee learning and development. The topic is wed-based technology& employee learning and development. This topic is discussed about how HRIS can be used to develop or manage the employee learning and development. Training is a program which provided to fulfil the current needs of employees to perform their current job and development is point to fulfil one potential and its focus on future but not only current. By using HRIS, the information of training and development can be manage and categories to be use when it’s needed. For example, training need analysis, web-based technology had reduce and simply the process of TNA such like proper managed the data and fill up the questionnaire through internet. According to Liegle & Madey (1997), most of the businesses are utilizing the Internet as the delivery vehicle for a portion of their training needs. Every of the single information will noted with computerized system which is easy to store and take out when necessary. Besides that, HRIS system in ELD can also use to evaluate the performance of the employees before and after the training. If compare to previous system which using manually system to manage every single step of ELD, computerized system was more convenient and flexible. The most important is it could reduce cost and time consuming. This system is useful for us who might to be Human Resource executive in the future. Furthermore, Dr. Nur Naha had discussed about Harvard business studies to us during the class. We had exposed to that we have to answer the question aggressive in order to get a better mark in this case studies. I had learned a lot during this case study, besides to have a clear picture of the case, I learned the tactic of answering question and also exposed to the power of team work.

HRIS model

The new topic I leant is HRIS model. The modeling of HRIS consists of 3 sets of component which are input subsystem, HRIS database and output subsystem. Input subsystem is such as the basic information that generated from the data collection. This information will after that through on a system which called HRIS database and finally distribute to output subsystem to be used by the related parts of HR activities. The most funny of today is Dr. asked a question of ‘what is HR self-service’, when I am still wondering isn’t the answer was that simple as others say ‘layan diri’? Dr. suddenly called my friend’ Josephine to answer this question. Josephine was so shock to receive a question suddenly from Dr. and showed a funny facial expression. Finally, Dr.Nur Naha had announced that the answer was does it ourselves. Sometime the answer is there but we still require getting a better answer. Due to this web-based employee self-service, it allowed all employees have their own access via web browser to information residing on HR system. It means that employees can update personal information by their own as individuals. HR self-service is useful to reduce the speed of delivering products and it was giving chances to employees to access to their own career and thus increase their own satisfaction in their field or career.

Transnational HRIS

The next topic we had learned is transnational HRIS part 2 ‘HR Systems Architecture and Service Delivery and Model. There are 3 main model included in this system are Standalone system model, data warehouse model and single integrated model. From the picture provided, I can clearly understand how the models working and how the running systems of each model. According to Beaman (2004), standalone system runs its own independent systems which identify multinational model that is ultimately localized and highly decentralized. It consist lots of independent local business unites and only little control at the centre. Data warehouse is a model which focuses on sharing. This model takes learning and sharing approach, it integrates the innovation that adopts from local business unit into global business model, then roll back throughout the organization. The last model is single integrated model which have only one instance of the database that identify global model that is highly centralized and standardized which minimizes the needs of the local business units. Each model has their own advantages and also disadvantages. For example, standalone system model can run independently with each units but it was hard to collect data analysis because there is not standarlized format to collect data. Different types of company have to choose the different model to operating their company. I am also has been exposed to the HR activities which typically performed globally, regionally and locally. This is an interesting topic since it had taught us how the data generated and models that the data transfer around the world. I like this topic. Besides that, I like the teaching technique using by Dr. Nur Naha, with the discussion and some funny joke, it always attract my attention to class. Through the quiz for today, I gain the chances to review again what we had learned before and it was also refresh my mind to be more concentrate in class in order to perform better in the next quiz. Fortunately, I apply what I had learned during the class and won a small present from Dr. Nur Naha, I was so happy today, not for the present, but for self-satisfaction.
