Change initiatives:

WASA Lahore introduced their new HRMIS system for their effective working of the
organization. Before this change, the managers maintained all the data and information of their
employees manually and that lead towards inefficiency and ineffectiveness, problems were faced
related to managing of data.

HRIS:

The HRIS is a software or online solution for the data entry, data tracking and data information
needs of the Human Resources, payroll, management and accounting functions within a
business. It is useful for all processes that we want to track and from which we hope to gather
useful and purposeful data.

Why HRIS:

The HRIS eliminates data duplication by keeping all data in software, also reducing human error.
The reason why HRIS is important for the HR department is that an HRIS software is designed
for make our work simpler and more effective. An HRIS is software that every HR department
needs.

The HRIS is particularly important when it comes to organization of employee benefits.

Businesses are able to streamline the entire employee benefit system, meaning employees and
new hires can enroll electrically into benefit plans and log into the system to update and monitor
their current coverage.

The HRIS in WASA Lahore is designed for centralizing all HR data, so that managers can find
easily employee information in one place without having to go through different sheets and files.
Before HRIS, HR data was sometimes kept in different locations by different departments for
different purposes, which caused data duplication. The HRIS eliminates data duplication by
keeping all data in software, also reducing human error.

Importance of HRIS:

 Development of performance standard for the human resource division, more

meaningful career planning and counseling at all levels in WASA.
  Individual development through linkage between performance reward and job training
helped WASA to increase employee satisfaction and motivation.
 HRIS helped in high capability to quickly and effectively solve problems.

Strategies/ Model:

The strategy that WASA Lahore opted is Human resource reengineering and optimization.

Improving HR Productivity:

HRM information systems are highly detailed, and they are designed to enhance and speed up
the efforts of HR employees in a number of ways. HRIS systems can also be used to improve
productivity related to financial management through payroll processing tasks
and benefits administration.

Human resource connects all business processes of a company, supports organizational culture
and corporate strategies. Initial point defining personnel labor effectiveness is personnel
potentials – opportunities to use the complex of connected components and elements which are
in a strong relation and provide certain functions.

New approaches to human resource management:

Modern tendencies of management determine new approaches to human resource management.

These approaches are the basis of business process reengineering and business process
optimization. These processes suggest reinterpretation of the ways of work on all business levels,
elimination of unnecessary activities and searching for more effective ways of company
functioning.

Peculiarities of reengineering and optimization of business processes in modern

organizations

Business process optimization and reengineering is one of important directions of company

management improvement. It covers all functions of business administration; it can be used in
single companies as well as in huge integrated business groups.
There are at least two approaches to business process optimization and reengineering:

 “Revolutionary”, when all the changes are provided in a short period of time and have
quite significant differences with a previous system.
 “Evolutionary”, a combination of reengineering with methods of business process
optimization.

Business process optimization is aimed not only to make each procedure of a process effective,
but also to make the whole system of these procedures work more productively.  

That is why it is necessary for a manager who is going to start the process of optimization and
reengineering to know the objectives set and the results expected, time limits needed for these
processes, efforts and financial resources necessary for them.

Mechanisms of reengineering:

Reengineering allows standardizing the process by means of implementation of standard

procedures and models of fundamental changing of the character of implemented works and the
whole administrative system.

Why human resource management needs reengineering:

Human resource management plays a significant role in the whole system of company business
processes. That is why it would be hard to overestimate the importance of human resource
management system in achieving of strategic objectives and the level of company management
effectiveness as the most important resource of a company – human resource – should work
towards a result which a company needs.

So, company business process optimization and reengineering is impossible to provide without
human resource management reengineering and optimization. These processes mean reframing
and redesign of human resource processes with the aim in order to achieve optimum personnel
and the whole company work performance.
