Introduction2


As we know human resource information system or commonly known as HRIS is a system that enables to coordinate the work process, provide the real time information, streamline the data and increase the effectiveness of the organization.
From what I have learned, there are three topics which are chosen for my reflective views. Human Resource information system also can be applied and used in web based employee learning and development, web based occupational safety and health, and web based compensation planning. Furthermore, based on what has been lectured by Dr.Roya, this web based application is commonly used in the organization because of their competitive advantage in the organization.
Web based employee learning and development can help to improve the productivity of the organization, web based occupational and health can ensure the risk of accident can be reduced, and web based compensation can be used to make the employee feel valuable.

Web based employee learning and development


  Assalammualaikum, today, I will explain and reflect on what I have learnt in the class of Dr. Roya about web based employee learning and development. Web based learning can be considered as an innovative approach to deliver the content for the employees.  The Web based learning and development can be used to provide learning and development for the employee to gain new knowledge.
            Moreover, the web based training should be designed effectively by using not only knowledge of traditional management skills, but also a solid understanding of the characteristic of the application. It should be designed, according to the needs of both organization and individual to achieve the goals mutually. Although the designing it requires a thoughtful analysis to maximize its potential, the involvement of the management is also essential to ensure its success. The opinion and ideas of the employee also can be used to create more effective application of web based learning and development.
Dr, Roya also stated that, web based learning can be used as a platform to deliver presentation that might be consist of text, audio and others. It allows a visit to the sites which has relevant topic about the organization and also provides real time information about what needed to be know by the employees.  The benefit of this application is enable a real time or synchronized discussion using text based technology such as chat rooms and others. It is an interactive application that allows the user to communicate and learn information that will always be updated. This helps the employee to learn something new that can be applied in their work. This application is beneficial as it can help to reduce resources and cost which is involved in the traditional training.
In addition, this application proved to be essential as it also save time, where in some situation, the employee might not be able to attend seminar or training. Therefore, this application offers multimedia information, tutorial, material to plan their own learning, or learn at their own pace. Every learner has a different style of way of learning, so this web application can be used as a platform for them to adapt to their own style. As the web can be accessed at any time, the employee will gain the ability to interact with each other or instructor at outside of the organization.  It also can be used without assistance. It can be concluded that if the organization consider the advantage and disadvantage of this system, it might help the organization as a whole.

Web based occupational safety and health

Hello everyone! Now I will explain to you about the details of web based occupational safety and health based on my understanding and from what have I learned from Dr. Roya in her lectures. Occupational safety and health is established to provide a workplace that is free from known hazard that can cause death or serious injury. It is related to protect the safety, and health of the employee that worked in the organization.

Furthermore, safety and health of all employees can also be protected if there are involvement of management and employee. There also should be workplace analysis to identify the problem that might occur, and provide necessary standard. Safety and health training can be conducted can help to prepare the employee for their own safety. This is also proved to be useful as, it will help to reduce the risk of getting injured and reduce the compensation cost or medical cost for the employee.

In the lecture, I heard that Dr.Roya stated that, Web based occupational safety and health is intended to provide knowledge and demonstrate the value as a guideline for the employee and manager. The knowledge provided might involve instruction on how to conduct the work more safely, and ways to reduce accidents at the workplace. It helps to standardize the procedure, providing instructions, and other information related to the safety in workplace. The increasing use of HRIS can facilitates the process of OSHA more effectively. It is essential to collect the records of employee personal data, employee injury and illness record to provide a better workplace. This will help the employees to comply and follow the OSHA standards. E-tools are also provided in the program, where it provides specific health and safety topics, guidelines to comply with certain regulations. E-Tools also provides sample of safety and health plan for the suitability of an industry. Employee also can gave question or get feedback on OSHA. In addition, the employee and employer also can be trained to comply and follow OSHA rules. The entire covered employee should report and notify the OSHA within eight hour if it involves three or more employees. This application will enable the analyzing of current level of risk and report of any accidents which can be used by the organization to improve the application. This application is important as the accident or illness will give negative impact to all parties.

Web based compensation planning

Assalammualaikum everyone! Now is the time for the reflection and my review of web based compensation planning. The logic might be easy to understand, but implementing this system requires a lot of effort and time. To standardize the multiple pay for one integrated compensation system is rather difficult. This application enables the organization to distribute and collect the data that involves compensation plan. It is designed to streamline all the data about the compensation planning.In addition, the company used Microsoft Excel to manage their compensation plan in the early days, but the system cannot manage a suitable budgets and financial model, where it becomes a failure to solve problems efficiently.
Nowadays, web based compensation is a must for an organization to manage their compensation plan. It is applied as a tool that can help fixed compensation, variable compensation and stock compensation. Example of software is PeopleSoft, where it can help defining standard rewards rules and identify the connection of rewards to job, grade and department. 
Moreover, the My SAP HR application also provides the management with the ability to design and implement innovative rewards plan. Furthermore, the organization will be depending on the HRIS to provide information of the employee in order to plan their compensation plan. It is based on the record of the employee on how are their performance and their contribution towards the organization. This application will ease the manager to maintain equity, and to link compensation with the strategic management of the organization. Manager also can view the individual performance rating online and increase the merit. Compensation system planned by the organization will show the appreciation towards employee achievement and encourages the employee to stay in the organization.
Dr.Roya says that it can help prepare the budget for salary planning, level of salary increase, performance evaluation, bonus allocation and rewards. In making decision, this system acts as a support to provide the accurate information. This will help the manager to decide on who should be promoted or what rewards should be given to the employee. This application can be accessed any time, to get information about compensation, salary where it is beneficial for both manager and employee. The application is also time saving because, the employee can get any feedback and information, without waiting for too long. The organization should practice this system to make sure the process of compensation planning is effective.

Conclusion 2



From what I have explained and elaborated, web based employee learning and development, web based occupational safety and health, and web based compensation and planning is the subject that I have learned in the Dr.Roya lecture.
From what I have learned from her lecture, I understand completely about the three topics. I found out that there are a lot of advantages to use this web application. The organization can apply the system to maximize the benefits of Human Resource Information System. This application provides the competitive advantages for the organization.
 Basically, the organization will have to develop this web application to help the employee to gain new knowledge and to increase productivity of the employee in the organization. Moreover, the web application can be used to decrease the risk of accidents. Besides that, based on the performance of the employee, the compensation plan can be developed to reward the employee.
