CONCLUSION

          Web based system have evolved significantly over recent years and with improvements in security and technology there are plenty of scenarios where traditional software based applications and systems could be improved by migrating them to a web based application. When i refer to three web based system(on Web-based Occupational Safety and Health, Web-based Compensation and Planning also Web-based Employee Learning and Development), I found that many advantages give to us if we apply web based system effectively bring many benefit for the companies and also the employees. In organization context, the company could use in any task to smoothly the process. While the employees could use the web based learning to upgrade their KSA and also seek the method to development themselves. Although web based give a lot of advantages to the organization, but the management of web based must very careful when manage the information of the system. After doing some independent study on Web-based Occupational Safety and Health, Web-based Compensation and Planning also Web-based Employee Learning and Development; I realized that in future as an HR executive/ HR Manager or Line Mangers, I will experience it by myself on how to develop those thing and what more important is I’m ready to face future working life.

Web Based Employee Learnig and Development

          Employee Learning and Development (ELD) systems is the system that plan and observe the employee training, career development and the employee’s performance. As well as analyze the employee career development, ELD systems also recommend training programs and periodic performance appraisal. There are several purposes of ELD systems, which is:

1. Improve and correct an employee’s performance and the organization’s itself.
2. Training programs increase the employee’s knowledge, skill and attitudes towards their current work.
3. Development programs where the program conducts in order to preparing the employees with their future work.
4. To ensure the employees can keep on competitiveness and well perform in their work. 
5. Help the employee manage their stress due to work overload.

            The figure below shows ELD system that consists of 5 important functions which are employee personal information, performance before training, training course, training transfer and program evaluation. This system can automate and systematic the overall training process. ELD system can record and store all the information related to training and learning program, fulfill new position and promotion, enable employee to access their performance appraisal and personal information, available course provided and others.

Figure:The component of Employee Learning and Development (ELD) Systems

 

          Basically in  web on employee learning development must have component which is must have employee personal information such as staff ID, IC number, address, and position worker on the job. Performance before training also can be describes as the employee education, performance level and how the employee develops their job responsibility before they attend any training. It can be checked based on the employee’s Key Performance Indicator (KPI). Training course is information that the employee need to know like course code, course name, module, date of training, subject matter expert (SME), training methods and length of course. Next, training transfer how the knowledge in training transfer to participants, either transfer through knowledge development, forum, video conference, outdoor skill training or others types of training transfer. The last component is program evaluation. Evaluation looks at the total value of that training event and process, thereby placing it into its organizational context and aiding future planning. Faced in an evaluation task, there are four crucial questions to answer: why, who, when and how in evaluating the method, transfer of training and results based on the training objectives. (Harrison, 2005, p.143)

            The advantages of ELD system are cost effective and accessibility helps to empowerment and facilitation and improved computer skills. This system is easy for record information compared using traditional record. Its can save time employee do the work manually. So the employee can do the other work not only focus for one work. Whether the disadvantages of ELD system are lack of human contact, need employees to know the computer basic skills and certain contents are not suitable to employees. Moreover, we can discover new information that can improve how our organization operates. If our sales team takes a computer training course, we may learn a better way to organize our account data. If a key member of our team is dissatisfied with her current position but takes a management class that sparks her interest, we may be able to adjust her job responsibilities to suit her needs better. In conclusion, the ELD system can help make the process easier to implement, facilitate timely information sharing and enabling a consistent coordination between elements and the organization.

Web Based Compensation and Planning

             In this post I will explain about web based compensation and planning base on my reading and understanding. According to McGaughey (2011) web based compensation and planning is an online compensation system or approach used to arrange the compensation tools that enable the company to collect, store, manipulate, analyze, utilize, and distribute the compensation data or information. When company using the web based compensation system, all information regarding to the compensation will be more systematic and clear. As we know one of the biggest challenges any business owner faces is finding the best way to compensate employees. A value-based compensation model should be a consideration for most businesses. This model rewards employees based solely on results. The amount of hours worked does not matter. Employees are paid only for tangible, measured value added to the company regardless of how difficult the job may be or the time spent on the project. 

            The basic compensation system includes base pay, merit pay, short-term and long term incentives, perquisites, recognition award and so on. There are many process associated with each of these, all of which must be coordinated. There are several components in online compensation system include two types of compensation which are fixed and variable, or stock usage. The fixed compensation includes bonuses, pay wage, merit pay and equity adjustments. Meanwhile, variable compensation includes individual or group incentives plan, profit sharing plan or productivity gain sharing programs. Next, there are several components in online benefits subsystem include defined contributions plans, defined benefits, flexible benefits and benefits statement. Thus, I think all of the components should be clarify by the system based on personalization data. More detailed information on plan provisions and stock usage report is available on the system, so that HR function on compensation and benefits become easier and effective.

            In addition, if we want to attract productive employees, we need to offer a competitive compensation and benefit package. Compensation planning software helps we put together an attractive plan to win the best employees. Once we have a plan in place, we need to periodically review the plan to make sure you remain competitive.

Compensation and benefits software helps us manage our compensation plan. Using software reduces the cost of outsourcing the job, saves time by allowing you to work off templates and organizes your information.

1. A good compensation and benefits system: 
2.  Is user friendly.
3. Provides benefits statements that are easy to read and understandable.
4. Stores information used for calculations.
5. Supports multiple compensation and benefit programs.

            There are lots of advantages using web-based system. Some of the advantage is that the data is more manageable because it can be manage and access by many end user workstations at a time. Another advantage is that the system can secure the data. High Security can be implementing to the data of the employees to protect their personal data. If in the olden days the data is unprotected and exploit to high risk of stolen of employees files or loss of employees file. Another important advantage of the web-based application is that the system can dramatically reduce the company cost for support and maintenance.

Web-Based Occupational Safety and Health

           Web-Based Occupational Safety and Health is one of HR function that using information system through stand-alone software. Web-based OSH have their own functions include promoting safety and health in the community to build people awareness, education and training to enhance KSA, consultancy services if needed, research and strategies development to overcome the safety and health issues, and information dissemination over the organization. While, occupational safety and health (OSH) is a cross-disciplinary area concerned with protecting the safety, health and welfare of people engaged in work or employment. The goals of occupational safety and health programs include fostering a safe and healthy work environment. OSH may also protect co-workers, family members, employers, customers, and many others who might be affected by the workplace environment.

            Many of these organizations are governmental bodies, serving to promote occupational safety and health at work such as the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission in Australia, the Occupational Safety and Heath, Administration in the United States, the Health and Safety Commission in the United Kingdom and the Occupational Safety and Health Council in Hong Kong. Their functions included promoting safety and health in the community, educating and training, consultancy services, strategies development and information dissemination.

            For more understanding about this topic, let we focus on an example of system that related on web based safety and health. The system named Construction Safety and Health Monitoring (CSHM). CSHM was created as a detector of potential risks and hazards, thus as a warning sign to areas of construction activities that require immediate corrective action (S.O. Cheung et. al, 2004). All of the functions of CSHM Web-based were enabling remote access, speedy data collection, retrieval and documentation by using Internet and database advantages . It allows the user to monitor project performance over a certain period through analysis of the scores given to some selected parameters. Knowledge Base also was included in CSHM to enable online expert advice and instructions.

            Another example of Web-Based Occupational Safety and Health is Online New Starter Health Assessment (ONSHA) The first process for using this system begins with the customer registering the basic identifying details of the prospective employee, which must include that person's email address.  ONSHA then sends an email to the applicant.  This email contains a unique secure link for each applicant. The applicant then uses the link to access the ONSHA system and completes their details and health question responses. After completing their details, the COPE Occupational Health team can then review the responses given. After Occupational Health have performed their review (which may require direct contact with the applicant), they indicate the applicants fitness outcome.  This generates a “Fitness Certificate” that is available to the customer via their portal login.

Introduction

            Alhamdulillah, this is the second task that I have successfully completed. A lot of information and knowledge I have gained while completing this task. Nowadays, we know that technology very important because it provides the environment and tools for Human Resources Information System (HRIS) use to access, manipulate and display information. The most popular now in HRIS related on web-based includes web-based employee learning and development, wab-based occupational safety and health also web base compensation and planning. From the previous lesson in the class I have learned three of the web-based. So from the three topics that I have studied, it’s give me a big picture about management in competent organization for manage their task and information besides give the easy to management process and also can reduce the organization cost for example cost of paper for printing, reduce time of production, and the other. I am thankful that I am be able to complete tasks that are given for the second blog properly and also get new knowledge that very important in managing human resource. Lastly, I would like to thanks to Dr. Nur Naha Abu Mansor.

Conclusion

 HRIS is a one of important knowledge that l have learnt for this semester.  Hopefully, that everything that I learnt about HRIS, I can remember and apply for my future task. There are a lot of benefits that I can get from having a good HRIS system. Human resource information is really important since these all involve the core our company and employee. HRIS also can improve information sharing and communication between the company and the employees. For example is by using web-based employee self-service. From my reading HRIS made it easy for the human resources department to smoothly operate all components.

Moreover, HRIS is usually fused with information technology to focus on human resource management. This system consolidates computerized employee data into one data bank. It also can updates prior and future decisions according to the company’s human resource management plan. HRIS also makes it possible for online users to view an employee’s history with the company, personal profile and benefits.

Actually, HRIS is one of interesting subject during my study at university. I know several system that used by organization in order to operate their business effectively. For example UTM have their own web-based employee self-service to facilitate employee to access information.
