HRIS training: keeping documentation on track

Article Abstract:

The viability and usefulness of newly installed human resource information systems (HRIS) tend to be tested during the first few months of operation. Training and documentation are of major importance in HRIS implementation, but tend to receive inadequate attention during the early months because of a desire to save time and money, and because of an emphasis on getting a project 'up and running'. Effective documentation and training are important, however, and the following areas should be addressed: differentiation among training programs, user interactivity, comprehensive documentation, and differentiation of training.

HRIS: document what you're doing

Article Abstract:

Human resources information systems (HRIS) enhance the personnel management process, but procedural documentation which tells users how to accomplish non-technical tasks associated with the system often is lacking. Procedural documentation is the key to effectively implementing and using HRIS because: it serves as a crucial tool in training new system users and can be used as a reference tool; it focuses on how procedures should be executed correctly and efficiently; and it promotes continuity in policy and program administration by enhancing uniformity.

HRIS: time is of the essence

Article Abstract:

Human resources information systems (HRIS) must be designed to handle time-related information effectively. HRISs must be able to correctly process data that becomes effective after a certain date, even if the processing is performed before that date. For example, an HRIS must be able to calculate ratios involving salary ranges that change on Jan 1 of every year, even if the calculations are done before that date.
