What is an HRIS?
An HRIS is a system which is used by employers to collect and store data on their workforce. Typically, an HRIS will have basic functionalities that allow you to store data accrued through the whole employee lifecycle, from recruitment and selection, learning and development, performance management, pay, health and wellbeing and ending employment. Some systems may have additional functionality which automates some processes (e.g., arranging interviews) and for employee “self-service” such as requesting annual leave, or changing their address.
An HRIS can either run on an organisation’s internal technical infrastructure, or more typically be cloud-based.
As a small to medium sized employer why should I invest in an HRIS?
An HRIS could help to reduce admin and / or management time dealing with day-to-day people management administration – allowing them to focus more of their time on your beneficiaries. This could include calculating holiday allowances, approving and recording annual leave, recording sickness absence and managing appraisals or one-to-ones.
Think of all the spreadsheets or manual records you could eliminate!
An HRIS may also give you up to date management information in seconds, for example allowing you to understand current levels of absence or employee turnover meaning you could develop action plans to make any improvements where required.
