even the most basic job tasks, such as reporting and compliance, payroll and compensation analysis,
benefits administration, applicant tracking, and skills inventory.

objectives. They expect that the system provides information for performance appraisal and
management, team and project management resume processing, recruitment and retention, skills
training and testing, and management development all below HRIS to manage it for the organization.

service, benefit options, career planning, or training and development. Oragnization drew attention to

information on performance appraisal, recruitment, selection, training, maintenance, potential
appraisal, payroll, team team, areas of improvement and further contributes to the formulation of
strategic goals and objectives which are all handled by several employees and also managers.

in decision making. There are various models available for data analysts.

assistance. They will make sure every minute about the details of HR functions to help HRIS is well
managed and any HR details are safely stored. There are also certain employees who are self -
employed i.e. they plan their own vacation or retirement scheme based on company policy in

interact directly but on a specific service partner.
