Reflection V – HRIS Model

HRIS model consists of 3 sets of components which are input subsystems, HRIS database and output subsystem. As Dr. Nur explain to us in first lecture, user key in information (input) such as personal information, employee annual/ medical leave, job description, and other data, the system will process it and come out with outputs which are employee record, leave report and so on. The input subsystems such as accounting information system, human resource research subsystem and human resource intelligence subsystem after process trough HRIS database would become output subsystem like workforce planning subsystem, recruiting subsystem and others.
According to Anheier and Doherty (2000), “Employee Self Service (ESS) is a combination of technology and organizational change that enables users to interact directly with their human resource data to inquire, review and act upon transactions in the workplace.” In ESS, employees also have the ability to update or change personal information such as direct deposit, home address and other information. ESS has grown rapidly, and is now one of the most prevalent and successful methods of HR service delivery used in business today.
ESS benefits both employees and management level. For employees, through ESS they can access and view their personal information (include of training history, salary history, self appraisals and etc.) and some company information, submit their holiday requests (annual leave/ medical leave/ unpaid leave) online, plan their own rosters and view department rosters, communication with other department, submitted report to management level and so on (Moran, 1999). For manager, they can approve or reject holiday request that submitted by employees, record employees absences, keep a record of job changes, view report that submitted by employees and others. Besides that, one of the greatest of ESS is it reduce workload of employees and enable them ideally creating more time for more strategic and business objective-aligned pursuits.
