with my team members shiwani lalita and namita , here to present on the topic implementation of HRIS. Information is the most vital part of survival or growth of the firm. Today human resource has become the main competitive advantage for a firm, making it a very critical resource. More so than ever, there is a need for fulfilling all functions related to human resource with strategic purpose and technology should be able to help in aligning them with the firm’s objectives. Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) are one such technological innovation which can efficiently help in standardizing such information about company’s employees. In this PPT we will talk about the implementation of HRIS at NISSAN and IBM. Starting with NISSAN
Nissan is a Japanese multinational automobile
manufacturer headquartered in Nishi-ku, Yokohama, Japan. It is one of the top selling automobile manufacturers and the world’s first ever multi- brand conglomerate after its collaboration with Renault. It has over 130,000 people working for them worldwide. This global corporation needed standardized HR practices in order to function successfully. The firm was also concerned about the overall employee satisfaction. Having an HRIS meant a strategic investment to reduce costs across the globe and therefore, in 2010, CEO Carlos Ghosn introduced HRIS in Nissan, when Nissan was in troubled waters. His aim was not only to automate the HR services but to transform HR services in the whole organization. The strategy behind HRIS implementation was standardization of all HR practices throughout the organization. Also he wanted to remove all administrative and transaction type tasks from the HR personnel in all locations around the world. Nissan had an employee intranet but it was not designed to be employee friendly and most of the employees did not have access to it. This ensured that there was a need for new technology with a dynamic employee portal, where all kind of HR related information could be made available to employees 24/7.By February 2010, Nissan had standardized all its HR practices across the globe.
Nissan partnered with Enwisen to develop its world class
HR Shared Serviced Center. Enwisen was to provide them support for communication, decision support and case management along with direct employee access portal. Nissan also collaborated with PeopleSoft, a third party technical business solutions provider, to design and implement the Nissan HRIS system. The PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Capital Management (HCM) included human resources, Base Benefits, Benefits Administration, ePay, eProfile, eCompensation, eBenefits, eRecruit and eDevelopment solutions. This was to help the employees get better access and clear information about their benefits plan, payroll and other HR related information8.PeopleSoft has become the HCM and self- service portal for the employees at Nissan. Enwisen provides the on-demand communications and decision support for the whole organization. The information related to a particular can be accessed only by them with the help of an id and password. This allows Nissan’s HR staff to manage employees easily as they have real time access to specific information related to them. This helps them respond to every individual employees query faster which would earlier require several hours or days. This strategic move has helped Nissan’s HR become more comprehensive and cost effective opposed to their earlier style of work which was manual. The technology requirements of Nissan were to make an employee portal available to all employees24/7; This meant single sign-in facility, this service also had to be HR centric, and this clearly kept all generic or standard services out of the facility. The implementation of this gave rise to three tiers, where „Tier One was represented by the HR service center staff,„Tier Two‟had the benefits administrators and „Tier Three catered to the CEOs.. This improved customer service for employees immensely.Apart from the Three Tier system, HR has divided itself into seven operational teams. Three groups out of seven take care of administrative tasks, provides executive support, technical support, managerial reporting and one group for attending to more challenging cases. All this was done to maximize performance. The HRIS had to provide:-Increase in productivity of 30%-Tracking every case with record and its resolution process-All the reports regarding daily performance, queue management & strategic objectives had to b made.-Increase in employee satisfaction by 40%.Earlier, HR managers at Nissan used to be burdened with manual administrative tasks like updating inquiries, etc. Now with the help of HRIS these types of requests have receded and now HR managers are available to handle strategic issues. Security of information on HRIS was also given high priority as it concerned integrity and security of sensitive employee information. The results achieved by Nissan after implementation of HRIS were highly impressive.
