...Anastasia Jakubow Systems in Review We have been asked to review current and future systems for Riordan Manufacturing’s Human Resource and Legal departments. We have done an evaluation of the systems as they are today. The goal has been to identify areas that need improvement. Our suggestions are as follows. Human Resource The present Human Resource Information System (HRIS) was installed in 1992. Here is a short rundown of what the system does: stores employee information (pay rate, hire date etc.), contains separate excel spreadsheets for training/development and job analysis/salary compensation, job openings and resume filing, and employee relations (complaints, grievances etc.) ("HRIS", 2005). Upon review, it is concluded that Riordan Manufacturing is operating on an outdated HRIS. This has at least two disadvantages. First and foremost, the current system has security concerns. Second, the current system is not efficient. A survey of HRIS systems users has shown that lack of efficiency is one of the biggest problems with old HRIS systems, and therefore one of the top priorities in a new system (“Top HRIS challenges,” 2002). Security concerns include the following: employee information changes must be submitted on paper creating a possibility for loose papers with personal information, resumes are stored in multiple unsecured locations, and employee files are kept in multiple unsecured locations. If any personal client information were to leak...

...CHANDIK BSA/375 April 18, 2013 Robert Dashiell Hugh McCauley, Chief Operating Officer for Riordan Manufacturing has sparked and interest in a more sophisticated, state of the art, information system for the Human Resources department for all locations of the company. This paper will discuss all the business requirements needed to develop the new system. Expected completion of the project is six months. This will allow the new system to be utilized in the second quarter of next year. In order to determine all the business requirements necessary to complete this project, it is important to include key stakeholder in Riordan Manufacturing. The decision process should include the following key people. CEO – Dr. Michael Riordan is one of the most important factors in this process. He has the final say in all business practices as well as overall direction of the company. Director of Human Resources – Yvonne McMillan – “Develops policy and directs and coordinates human resources activities, such as employment, compensation, labor relations, benefits, training and employee services. “ (Manufacturing) Yvonne’s role is vital in integrating the new technology with the hiring process as well as training. Chief Financial Officer – Dale Edgel – “Direct the accounting, finance and Human Resources functions toward achievement of the company’s key results while upholding company values.” (Manufacturing) Dale needs to be involved because he is the one ultimately responsible for...

...what skills it takes to fill the positions would have made it much easier to advance. Project Manager – I understand. It seems the system tracks the answers in performance reviews as well as the training courses each employee completes. President & CEO – Yes, exactly. Those records would be entered into the system by the employee. Each employee could see progress in the system and plot a course. I know everyone does not want to be the president of the company and are content in the current role, but those that want to grow will stay with the company instead of leaving to grow elsewhere. Project Manager – I appreciate your time. Is there anything else you would like to share? President & CEO – Yes. We have had great success with the financial integration, and I expect a full six months more of savings than was originally calculated due to the time savings in the automatic calculations. The people time saved with calculation speed in the system was near to six months less time required for reaching the return on the investment point. The automatic calculations make the time a bit more in savings. Project Manager – Thank you. I will have a report ready for review and a plan within a week of finishing all the interviews. President & CEO – I look forward to the review. Project Manager – What aspect of a human resources information system would be most beneficial to the company? VP Marketing – I will tell you two. The most beneficial aspects would be the employee...

...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,...

...Trust’ and if it impacts Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) implementation success. According to my research, there are many studies focusing on how an HRIS project can be initiated and implemented efficiently and effectively. However, there is not much information if ‘technology trust’ is an influential factor to reach the ultimate goal of HRIS implementation. The study Lippert and Swiercz (2005) worked to explore several propositions about the relationship between HRIS and Technology Trust and the effect of the relationship on HRIS implementation success. We know that trust is an essential component of all relationships. Research shows that trust is not only useful, but also central to understanding individual behavior in varied domains such as teamwork, risk-taking and job performance, information systems implementation, etc. (McKnight et al, 2011) Therefore, it is crucial to explore if the notion of “technology trust” helps explain why there are HRIS implementation failures and explain how to integrate the HRIS implementation process since it is proven that most organizations deploy less than 25% of the functionality of HRIS (Boroughs et al, 2008). Browne and Roguch (2001) stated that “despite the good faith efforts by organizations, analysts, and users, majority of systems are abandoned before completion or fail to meet user requirements.” The recent reports explain reasons the failures of HRIS implementation as poor project management, loose project control...

...various stages of the assignment, using MS Project, comments, what would you have done differently, etc. ATTN: Hugh McCauley Service Request 004 for Riordian Manufacturing (SR-rm-004) asks to analyze the current human resource system to integrate the existing variety of tools in use today win a single integrated application (University of Phoenix Virtual Organizations, 2012). The current Human Resource Information System (HRIS) was installed in 1992 and was actually part of the financial systems package as part of the finance department. (University of Phoenix Virtual Organizations, 2012). Since the early 90’s, the advent and development of information technology has come to fruition thus making it more appropriate for a more technology centric group to take charge of the project. Although room for growth and elaboration was limited in the past, the legacy HRIS system kept track of the following: personal information, pay rate, personal exemptions, hire date, seniority date, organizational information and vacation hours. Changes to any of the above employee categories are made by submitting physical, hand written form by the employee’s manager and subsequently entered by the payroll clerk. Full details of the current system can be found under the Human Resources intranet web page on Riordian Manufacturing’s website. During assignment #1, the primary objective was to analyze the above summarized service request into a basic outline with primary tasks. Although a template was...

...Determining HRIS Needs HR Information Systems Dr. Karen Golaub May 4, 2015 Business and organizations around the world rely on human resource information systems (HRIS) to keep their business running efficiently. HRIS systems provide businesses with rapid data access, information exchange, and strategic advantage (Flynn, 2015). They can be very complex and computerized and are available from software firms, consulting firms or can be home grown. However, as technology and laws change, HRIS systems must also be fluid in order to be relevant and useful. Rapid change in technology and government regulations can make long term planning very difficult when determining if an HRIS needs to be replaced or updated. To start, the company must plan forward and decide what needs must be met as the company grows. Looking at previous market trends will not be enough. Examining trends in technology will be one of the first tasks. Just in the last decade, cloud computing and SaaS has become much more prevalent and is causing a change in how people utilize HRIS. Instead of having to purchase bulk licenses, companies are now using SaaS to power their HRIS. This means a change in computing, hosting and training. This also means that the security surrounding HRIS must be more robust and paramount, especially since identity theft and data breaches have become more common. Besides technology, when planning ahead for an HRIS, companies need to look at how government regulations and...

...Planning the Needs of Other Organizations Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) are databases used for keeping track of essential personnel data within organizations. They can be designed and customized to fit the needs of various companies in many different industries (Tatum, 2011). The primary purpose of an HRIS is to make the management of employees more efficient. The HRIS System can be used to identify and track job applicants and maintain status on current employees. All stages of an employee’s life cycle from initial hire to retirement can be automated and tracked within an HRIS System (Tatum, 2011). One of the best features of an HRIS System is how easily it can be customized. It can be expanded by adding additional modules as the company grows because all modules do not have to be activated during the initial setup process (Tatum, 2011). Ten critical success factors commonly agreed upon between several authors are as follows: 1. Top management support 2. Provision of adequate and timely resources 3. Ongoing communication 4. Conductive organizational culture 5. User involvement 6. Project champions 7. Organizational structure 8. Change management methodology 9. Project control and monitoring 10. Cross integration between business systems These critical success factors must be considered during the planning, analysis and design of an HRIS System (Kavanagh & Thite, 2009, p.167-168). Three important factors that Benefast Partners should...

...organization my recommendation to help with automating the HR process would be Asentis. This web-based software would be an asset to the restaurant chain. It would assist the operations manager, Jay Morgan is carrying out his duties in a more time effective manner rather than driving from store to store to deal with HR issues. Asentis is secure, comprehensive, caters to the needs of a growing business and is very easy to use. Asentis will assist with the payroll process and other aspects of the business including scheduling, benefits management etc. Additionally, with a staff of 340 plus, having this system will allow for better scheduling which can also be tied into the payroll system once implemented that way. The software will limit the potential of human error on the part of Mr. Morgan who can get consumed in dealing with issues at all eight locations. Previously, all payroll records were being kept in a spreadsheet and the potential to enter wrong information into an employee’s payroll file could have been high. Implementing Asentis as the HRIS will limit errors and withy its automated solutions it will help...
