CONCLUSION FOR SELF-REFLECTIVE PART 1



After 7 weeks I learned about Human Resource Information System, now I understand about the role of information system in human resource activities. Many organization either big or small organization has been using information system to enhance their operation. The system is able to aid human resource management to manage their operation into more effective way. Employers must choose the most suitable systems and they also must provide all the skills and ability require. If not, organization will face other serious problems.
The use of technology has been a big help of many organization in sharing knowledge and information. A company situated in Africa is able to get information from a company in Indonesia. This is the most significant change that we can see nowadays. Even meeting also can be done by virtually. So, we do not have to travel far away which very costly.

People nowadays are frequently spending their time in front of their laptop and surf the information on the internet. That is why I think it is relevant for organization nowadays to apply online recruitment. This is because organization able to reach many qualified job applicants. However, there are several recruitment processes that need to be done by face-to-face. It is not only for recruitment, but other human resource activities such as training, performances appraisal and others are better manage with information system.

The class so far is being really interesting to me. This is because, before this, I had no idea what is the benefit of information systems. But now, I became slowly to understand the relation between information system and human resource activities. Even though I am still not familiarized with the term use, but I know with the lecture of Dr. Nur Naha and our tutor class with Mr. Ibrahim, I will able to follow and remember everything about this subject.

Performances management, compensation, benefits, payroll, and the human resource information system are focus on exchange between employers and employees. Employees provide skills and ability and employers provide rewards. In order to get high reward, employees must shows excellent performances and employers must give reward to employees as they deserve.

Employers must apply the best performance appraisal process in order to get information regarding employees’ true performance. The process starts from employers setting objectives on what to be accomplished at the end of year by employees.  It is important for employers to make realistic target so that employees will be burden because of it has reach within their limitation. At the end of the year, employers review employees’ performances and see whether they reach the target or not. It is essential to give reward as they deserve to have. If there any target or element in the performances appraisal that is not agree by the employees, employees must reset or discuss about other objectives or target that achievable by the employees.

It is crucial to have an excellent system that able to process all the information about employees’ performances. The system must accurate and automatically update in order to avoid any misunderstanding of information to occur. Employees also are able to access the system so that they can check their current performances and make some improvements regarding their performances at workplace.

The function of performance management is very important to the organization. With performances management, human resource management able to decide on what suitable training and development should employees has and what hiring strategies should be made. Compensation and benefits system are able to retain excellent employees and motivate all employees to give excellent performances.
