...Systems Consideration in HRIS In today’s knowledge economy, organizational success depends almost disproportionally on the performance of Human Resources (HR). To increase the effectiveness of Human Resource Management (HRM) organizations are becoming more dependent on human Resource Information Systems (HRIS). A HRIS organizes employee applicant and qualifications, organizational demographics, recruiting, professional development, performance appraisals, payroll, retention, and attrition. Organizations that implement HRIS’s improve the organizations administrative efficiency with faster information processing, improved employee communications, greater information accuracy, lover costs and overall HR productivity improvements (Beadles, 2005). When selecting a HRIS, Human Resources (HR) should consider the efficiencies of using software as a service, the inefficiencies of various Microsoft Access based database software, the risks involved with integrating and combining multiple products into one system, and the consequences of improper database maintenance. In analyzing HRIS’s that would be beneficial in my current organization I chose to focus on HRIS Pro by Micro Systems, and MyHRIS by Nuview Systems. Commercial Database Systems HRIS-Pro information management software allows organizations greater effectiveness in managing HR functions and responsibilities. The advantages of HRIS-Pro are the information systems cost, modular flexibility, expansion capabilities,...

...Assignment 7 Chapter 24: 1. When was the first quasar discovered? The first quasar was discovered in the 1950’s. 2. What is the theory of the existence of quasars? In 1965, Jim Gunn and Bruce Peterson of Caltech predicted that distant quasars should show evidence of the end of the cosmic dark ages. But until recently, no one had ever seen an object distant enough to check their prediction 3. Where can we find quasars and what are the main characteristics? Quasars have little or no visible angular extent. Quasars have rapid light variations. Even high-redshift quasars have long jets. Features in quasar jets are observed to move outward. The angular size of visible nebulas surrounding some quasars does not diminish, and may even increase, with increasing redshift. Some high-redshift quasars are relatively bright. Chapter 26: 4. What is the origin of the Big Bang Theory? The history of the Big Bang theory began with the Big Bang's development from observations and theoretical considerations. Much of the theoretical work in cosmology now involves extensions and refinements to the basic Big Bang model. 5. When did the Big Bang occur? Space and time were created in the Big Bang. At the beginning of the universe, the space was completely filled with matter. The matter was originally very hot and very dense and then expanded and cooled to eventually produce the stars and galaxies we see in the universe today. 6. What evidence supports the Big...

...Running head: Human Resource System Executive Summary In 1992, Riordan Manufacturing Inc., implemented and established human resource information system (HRIS), which was included as part of a financial package. The HRIS package included functions such as maintaining personnel information, pay rate and tax information, hire and seniority dates, vacation leave for non-exempt employees, and organizational information. However, certain areas of the HRIS could be improved upon and developed. One area that needs improvement is the network communications between headquarters and all the Riordan plants. Improvements are also needed in central repository, resume storage, maintaining training and knowledge skills information, online employee user interface, and a central location for updating and maintaining employee personal and professional information. Improving the current HRIS activities would be advantageous to Riordan leadership and their employees. Hugh McMCauley, the COO for Riordan Manufacturing requested that the human resources (HR) system be analyzed to integrate the existing variety of tools in use in the present day to a single integrated application. The request will take advantage of a more sophisticated look for information systems technology in the HR department at Riordan Manufacturing.

...1.1 Human Resource Management (HRM) Human Resource Management is the design of formal systems in an Organization to ensure effective and efficient use of human talent to accomplish Organizational goals. (Source: - Robert L. Mathis/& John H. Jackson, Human Resource Management. 10th edition.) Human resource management is the set of activities directed at attracting, developing and maintaining the effective workforce necessary to achieve a firm’s objectives. Because the HR function is central to a firm’s success, top managers should adopt a strategic perspective on it. This achieves ‘fit’ between the business and HR strategy. Here, employees are considered as assets or human capital to be invested in through the provision of learning opportunities and the development of a learning organisation and are viewed as a source of competitive advantage. The overall purpose of HRM is to ensure that the organisation is able to achieve success through people. The methods used vary in according to countries. The Human Resources Management (HRM) function includes a variety of activities, and key among them is deciding what staffing needs you have and whether to use independent contractors or hire employees to fill these needs, recruiting and training the best employees, ensuring they are high performers, dealing with performance issues, and ensuring your personnel and management practices conform to various regulations. Activities also include managing your approach to employee benefits and...

...Case Study Analysis – Connecticut v. Teal (1982) HRM/552—Organizational Training and Development Case Summary The case of Connecticut vs. Teal is a part of landmark Supreme Court cases that were heard in the 1980s. Black employees that worked for the State of Connecticut were promoted to supervisors with a provision that for their promotion to become permanent, they would have to pass a written examination. There were 48 black candidates and 259 white candidates that took the written examination. A little over half of the black candidates that took the examination passed, however the black employees that did not pass were excluded from the remaining selection process to become permanent supervisors (Connecticut v. Teal, 1982). These employees filed lawsuit against the State of Connecticut in Federal District Court alleging that, “petitioners had violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by requiring, as an absolute condition for consideration for promotion, that applicants pass a written test that disproportionately excluded blacks and was not job related (Connecticut v. Teal, 1982). Prior to the case going to trial, the petitioners promoted 22.9% of the black candidates and 13.5% of the white candidates from the eligibility list. Due to these promotions, the employer felt that by applying the bottom line concepts, the black employees had been more favorably promoted. The District Court sided with the employer and ruled that the “bottom line” percentages were...

Case Summary The University of California at Davis developed and implemented a special admissions program to increase enrollment of “disadvantaged” applicants, which meant minority students.

...People Radwa Shaaban HRM/531 April 29th, 2013 Angela Lucente Planning For People Job analysis is an important process, any organization used to use it in order to collect information and data about required skills, level of education, work environment, responsibilities, and the duties to create a job description, recruiting plans, and performance development planning (Susan M. Heatfield, 2013). Once job analyses are updated as described, a summary of the results is normally prepared in writing in the form of a job description (Wayne F. Cascio, 2010). According to my reading chapter five about job analysis process. There are some topics I felt comfortable with, such as alternative perspectives on jobs. This topic add to my knowledge many information and explained how jobs are important to organizations, what is the highly unusual jobs that some organizations required it, and distinguish job analysis form job design (Wayne F. Cascio, 2010). On the other hand, I struggled with topic job requirements because there are many methods created in order to study job requirements and none of them alone is sufficient. Thus, it is essential to integrate this methods to obtain the results of the tasks and duties of a job (Wayne F. Cascio, 2010). It is not that easy to implement the methods of job analysis, such as job performance, observation, interview, critical incidents, and structured questionnaire, those are the most five common methods of job analysis and each one of those...
