1. Using resources such as documents and examples on the Internet, find possible alternatives and
applications that you can propose that will combine ALL possible applications for a Tactical Human
Resource Information System. Provide short, concise explanations on how each application can be
incorporated into the system. Refer to your handout for additional insight and information.

The Human Resources Information System or Human Resources Information System is a solution for
time management, human resource management, and payroll. This software combines a number of
systems and processes to ensure the easy management of human resources, business processes, and
data.

These are the applications I gathered throughout the internet that I think would be a possible
alternative to be proposed.

 Core HR
 Workforce Management
 Strategic HR

Core HR

Core HR provides software features for overseeing the operations HR departments traditionally
managed. These functions include personnel tracking, payroll processing and benefits administration.
Owners or managers of small companies often handle HR functions personally. But as your small
business grows, it becomes more likely that other important responsibilities will suffer as the tasks pile
up. There comes a point where you can only juggle so many hats. How can you know when it’s time for
core HR features? If your business has become too large to handle the staff’s payroll and oversee the
day-to-day administrative tasks, it’s probably time for an upgrade. In some cases, businesses don’t have
any dedicated system in place. Yes, they probably have software for running payroll and possibly a
spreadsheet for tracking employee info, but that may be the extent of their HR software. On the flip
side, you might have an HRIS that you’ve outgrown. It was great when there were only 20 employees to
manage, but now that you’ve reached 70, the software doesn’t have nearly enough functionality. No
matter your situation, we recommend building a list of requirements to help pinpoint the key
capabilities you should look for.

Workforce Management

Workforce management (WFM) adds another layer to core capabilities. It revolves around supporting
the daily aspects of managing your employees. It also bridges the gap between core HR and strategic HR.
The former focuses more on processes, while the latter focuses more on people. WFM blends both.
Strategic HR

HR is both operational and strategic. It requires day-to-day activities that help keep your company
running smoothly. But it also provides the ability to develop and execute key strategies that promote
the long-term welfare of your business. The strategic side of HR software centers on your people and
enables your company to promote growth. It does this by attracting and developing top talent for your
business.

Benefits of this is that it:

Increase Efficiency

One of the biggest advantages of using an HRIS is the boost in productivity that you’ll see — especially if
your operations were manual before. Taking everything online improves how efficiently your company
can run. No more filling out stacks of paperwork by hand. No more need to update information in
multiple places manually. You can expect a learning curve if this is the first HRIS you’ve implemented.
Even upgrading to a new system will require everyone to become accustomed to the new layout,
features and so on. But having a system to do the heavy lifting in areas you lacked in before will greatly
reduce the burden of responsibility on HR staff.

Reduce Errors

Removing manual entry greatly helps reduce the chance for errors to creep into records and other key
sets of data. Whether you choose a single platform or a set of integrated solutions, you’ll gain a
seamless flow of data. For example, the payroll module can pull in employees’ timesheets to accurately
calculate hourly wages. This can eliminate everything from incorrect employee contact info to more
grievous errors such as accidentally adding an extra zero to the end of an employee’s monthly paycheck.
It also helps you tackle compliance with confidence. Ensuring your company is in line with local and
national laws surrounding employment and taxes is much easier with a system that performs
calculations automatically.

Track Data More Easily

Keeping your company’s information organized is critical. And, in a lot of cases, it’s difficult. We’ve all
been there — spending way too long looking for some piece of information. Digging through file
cabinets to find employee forms. Searching through email threads to locate time off requests and
approvals. The list goes on.

Provide a Better Employee Experience

HR applications help your company operate at a higher level. But they also come with a wealth of
benefits for your employees:

 A fast, smooth hiring process from start to finish

 Control over things like benefits enrollment
 Opportunities to hone or expand their skills
 The ability to plan for and pursue their chosen career path
 Individual growth due to consistent feedback
