alliance.
LC 2 reply to this discussion
Good evening Raquel,
You’ve hit the nail on the head with the role of HRIS in modern organizations. The strategic partnership aspect you mentioned is key; it’s not just about digitizing records but also about empowering HR to contribute to broader business objectives. Cloud-based systems are indeed a game-changer, providing secure, scalable, and accessible platforms for managing vast amounts of data. The ability to swiftly retrieve documentation during audits or claims is a critical function that supports both compliance and risk management. Moreover, these systems free up HR professionals from mundane tasks, allowing them to focus on more strategic initiatives such as talent management and workforce planning. This shift towards innovation not only enhances productivity but also positions HR as a central, value-adding component of the organization. The potential for HRIS to transform HR into a data-driven powerhouse is truly exciting, and it’s great to see such enthusiasm for these advancements!

Professor/class,
Happy
week one and nice to meet all of you! Regarding this discussion in
particular I recall human resources was viewed as purely administrative,
with limited influence on the future or success of the company as a
whole. While getting the foundational policies and processes established
is important, companies that want to differentiate themselves from
their competition and win in their respective markets must transition
their HR into a strategic partner. When HR is a strategic partner, they
can impact the company’s key goals and objectives by focusing on the
following five key areas: Talent Acquisition, Employee Development,
Succession Planning, Technology, and Culture. Identifying the needs and
investing the resources required to make each of these areas a core
strength for the company will result in superior results and make you an
employer of choice in the marketplace.
To establish HR as a strategic partner and identify and attract top-tier talent, they must:
Understand the details behind the company’s vision
Be involved in identifying and defining the current and future goals
Partner with Senior Leadership in the development of your candidate profile
Design and deliver a strategy for attracting and retaining key talent
Thoughts?

You

of this company to recommend to the company an optimum (the Best Fit)
HRIS and Payroll system that would be appropriate for the concerned
company. This company is currently using ADP as the outsourced payroll
service and a paper-based model for all their HR administrative
processes.
The VP of HR would like your expertise to recommend to
the company an integrated Payroll and HRIS system that would be
appropriate for the company and fit the company’s needs. The company
does not want to outsource any Payroll to HR Administrative Processes.

department’s needs for automating all regular HR administration
processes.

web-based research study to find and recommend to the VP two
off-the-shelf purchasable turn-key hybrid Payroll/ HRIS systems suitable
