Yes, you DO need an HRIS!

Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) use modern database technology to organize Employee data and simplify a variety of HR tasks. By improving data efficiency, HR professionals are increasing their effectiveness in the work place and better serving both their employers and the employees that look to them for guidance. Human Resources professionals find that they have time to improve services when they are no longer trying to chase down data buried in papers or spreadsheets.


HRIS systems put key data at the fingertips of the HR Professional allowing them to easily access both current and historical data including positions held, compensation, bonuses, leave and attendance, training and much more. In addition to detailed data, they provide quick access to summarized data such as EEO and veterans break downs, Turnover, and various counts just to name a few.

Another aspect that is often overlooked when considering whether or not to invest in an HRIS system is compliance. An HRIS system helps HR Professionals to keep organized and helps them to maintain compliance with a number of government regulations including ADA, EEO, FMLA, IRCA and more. By keeping well organized documentation and having easy access to Employee related data, an HRIS can help to keep legal costs down when an Employee challenge arises. Many industries have required safety training. HRIS systems can help you track required training, training dates, attendees, renewal dates etc.

Organizations stand to benefit from implementing an HRIS regardless of whether they are large with a well staffed HR Department or small with a single administrative person wearing multiple hats including that of HR.

Improved efficiency and compliance will help your organization to become more effective in serving your Emloyees and exceeding the expectations of Management.
