Description
This book is designed as a practical guide for managers and professionals who are installing computerized human resources (HR) systems. The authors address a wide range of questions about how to select, implement, evaluate, and manage automated HR systems so they bring about real improvements instead of chaos. The authors show how 50 Fortune 500 companies are using automated HR systems, and detail how systems technology can support HR in four key areas: strategic management, administration, employee development and computer-based training. They examine various applications and show how automated HR systems can streamline routine tasks, such as compensation and benefits administration, and enhance both operational and strategic decision making throughout the organization. The authors also provide a practical six-step procedure for selecting the right mix of systems and applications to meet an organization's unique needs.
