...corporate policy that specifies how training, performance management and reward systems might integrate career-planning considerations. What steps can a company take to align its compensation system with its general business strategy? Today's compensation approaches, like the rest of the business world, are changing rapidly. As a result, the bridge that connects compensation strategy to the overall business strategy may have been weakened by the frequent shifts that characterize business today. The pace of change in both business strategy and compensation design are leading many companies to consider and implement changes to one side of the bridge without making changes to align it with the other side of the bridge. As a result, the bridge becomes weaker and is more likely to undermine the overall success of the business. This process encompasses the following key steps such as articulating the company's long and short-term business strategies and making sure they are aligned with current compensation approaches; choosing the compensation approach that will best reward and reinforce the company's articulated strategic goals; and periodically evaluating the compensation approach against the business strategy to see if goals have been met and make necessary adjustments. To align compensation with the business strategy, a company must first be able to articulate what that business strategy is. While identifying and articulating the business strategy seems self evident, many...

...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,...

...Abstract The quantitative study of the researchers looked into the environment-centered and time-centered study habits of graduating CIHM students of the UPHSD-Las Pinas. Data were collected using validated self-made questionnaire and were analysed statistically. With overall average of 3.19 means that the CIHM students ‘Sometimes’ prefer environment-centered study habits. The indicator ‘I want to have a good light’ has the highest average of 3.35 which means that the CIHM students ‘Sometimes’ prefer to have a good light. Similarly, with overall average of 3.18 the CIHM students ‘Sometimes’ prefer time management-centered study habits. There is very low relationship between the general weighted average of CIHM students and their study habits, and this relationship is found to be not significant. When CIHM students are grouped according to their general weighted average, results show there are no significant differences in the environment-centered study habits of CIHM students; there are also no significant differences in time management-centered study habits of CIHM students; and, in general, there are no significant differences in the study habits of CIHM students. The researchers conclude that what the CIHM students preferred in their environment when they study, namely, a comfortable chair, a good light and a right room temperature, are exactly the same things that learners would prefer to have when they study. Temperature is as important as the light. No one can study...

...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. After the project is to be completed, Riordan Manufacturing will then be left with a detailed project plan that will provide a list of tasks, resources, schedule and budget required...
