Conclusion

As a conclusion, I can say that by understanding this three sub topic will help me to understand more about human resource information system. This entire three are important topic in human resource management. Now I am understand that the human resource information system are comprise of stand-alone software for any of the primary areas of use for information systems  in HR management such as employee record management, compensation and benefits, recruitment and retention, training and development, safety and health and so on.
    From the topic Web Based Compensation Planning, now I know that this system can help the organization to hire the right people, retain performers, and motivate all employees to perform at the higher level. This is same goes to Web Based OSH, this web system will motivate the employee to give full commitment because they feel secure in the workplace. And lastly in the Web Based Learning and Development, the organization will be able to manage the development of their employee. I hope that in the future I will get to apply what I have learned in this subject.

Reflection on Web Based Compensation Planning

            As I know, the compensation is the most complex topics in human resource management. This is because some organization faces a lot of difficulties and complexities when creating and administering the compensation systems. In order to help with that, now they are turning to use the technology to make it easy. As we know, the advanced of the technology are giving a lot of benefits to us. For example, all processes in compensation such as designed, communication and management of payment are moving toward Web application. This is because the employee can easily get information without having a problem.
            Based on the presentation in the class that has been presented by my friends, what I can understand is there are two element in the web based compensation which is the fixed compensation and the variable compensation. The fixed compensation includes based pay, merit pay, promotion adjustment, specific knowledge, skill and abilities, recognition, or retention awards. This based pay or fixed pay is built around two processes which are job evaluation and market benchmarking. On the other hand, the variable compensation includes the element of bonuses, commission, individual and group incentives plan and productivity gain sharing programs.
            The application that included in the web based compensation is the benefit management, payroll, the job evaluation, salary survey, incentive plan, compensation consultant, and salary planning. From my understanding, this application will help the manager or the organization to pay for the top performer. Beside that, this web application will increase the effectiveness of accurate information provided for the employee. In addition, it also enables planning and budgeting of employee salary and may increase the payment of their wages.
            From the information that I get from Dr Roya, this system can give some implication to the organization which is E-Compensation and E-Benefits seem to be the strategic integration of HRM with the (revised) company strategy, structure and culture. Beside that, the utilization of Online Compensation and Benefits Subsystems will assume an active role for line management and employees in implementing the strategies, policies, and practices.
            At the end of the class, as always Dr Roya will gave us some activities. For each group, we need to answer the case study in the textbook. This case study is about how the Grandview global financial service manages their compensation system of their employee. They need to overcome the problem and come with the solution to implement the web based system. From this topic, I become more understand about the role and function of human resource information system in supporting this compensation and benefits process.

Reflection On Web Based OSH

     In the class with Dr Roya, my group needs to present about the web based occupational safety and health system. As we know, occupational safety and health is important for the worker in the workplace. If we are a worker, of course we want a safe environment and need to be protected when performing our job right? So, the web based OSH is very useful and can give a lot of benefit to the organization who implemented the system. Beside that, safety and health at the workplace also important aspect to concentrate on in order to reduce the operational cost, medical claims by employee and reduce the injuries or incident that might happen in the workplace.
    Organizations with effective Web Based OSH earn positive returns and benefits on their health and safety investment by operational cost savings through this web based system. Besides that it also help to reducing work-related accidents and ill health and the costs associated with them. Even though it contributes a lot benefit to the organization, this web based system also can give the bad implication to the organization which has implemented the system such as the technical problem that may occur.
   For me, by understanding the concept of the Web Based OSH will help us to understand the application of Occupational Safety and Health system in Malaysia and legislation that needs to follow by industry. The rules and legislation are always protecting the worker safety and ensuring healthy workplaces. In addition, many of the organizations are governmental bodies, serving to promote occupational safety and health at work such as the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission in Australia, and the Occupational Safety and Health administration in the United States.
    At the end of the class, Dr Roya had told us to conduct class activity for the other friends. Our group chooses to make them to write an essay in two paragraphs about the role and function of the web based occupational safety and health system. This activity is very interesting because it can help us to remember what we have learned from the presentation. From that activity, I have realize that it is very important for us to concentrated on the lecture or presentation at in front because we cannot understand if we just looking like that. So it is also the learning for me to improve my knowledge. Beside that, now I am understand that the human resource information system are comprise of stand-alone software for any of the primary areas of use for information systems  in HR management such as employee record management, compensation and benefits, recruitment and retention, safety and health and so on.

 

 

Reflection On Web Based Learning & Development


After I had learn this topic, what I can understand from this topic is the learning and development center is the stage for organization to ensure long term competitiveness, excellence, quality, flexibility and adaptability.
            Learning management system aims to deliver four main features which are the delivery training content, tracking of trainee performance, the management of online learning (course and trainee) and lastly is the provision of tools for student collaboration. In order to run the system systematically, employees and the management log in to the system by using their own identification which is employee log in and administrator log in. In the employee log in, the element that included in this is basic information, catalogue and also my profile. Meanwhile, in the administer log in, there are also three element which is the employee data management, the training course management, and lastly is the training need assessment.
            Nowadays, we have been exposed by the advancement of the technology in education. We also know about the e-learning. E-learning is referring to any learning facilitated using electronic. The technologies apply in E-learning are Computer-aided assessments, Animations, Simulations games and Electronic performance support system (EPSSs). The EPSS is a wizards, knowledge bases, help, advice functions, and assistants. Beside that, there is also digital collaboration. This kind of technology is an intranet based collaborative technology, such as groupware (software used in meeting) which will provides company forum for tracking, sharing and organizing the information. The digital collaboration denotes networking and communication via the internet. It can be divided into two which are synchronous (live communication) and asynchronous (using internet which learners can learn at own convenience, whereas communication is delayed)
            What I can conclude from this topic is there are a lot of benefit for the organization if they are implemented the web based learning and development system. This system will help the organization to reduce the cost and time consuming. Beside that, it also can help the organization to facilitate the management of their organization. In addition, this web application provides the variety instructional environment. On the other hand, even it can bring a lot of benefit but there is also some disadvantage when using this system. If there are some technical problems it will difficult to access. The systems will slowdown or higher downtimes. So, the organizations need to upgrade the computer system from time to time. At the end of this class, I hope that in the future, I will be given a chance to apply what I had learned from this class.

            Alhamdulillah I have been given a chance to continue my second webfolio. Compare to the first week, now I am able to understand what Human Resource Information System is all about. Thanks to Dr Roya that help and guide me to improve my knowledge and give a lot of information about this subject.
