Many human resource managers face a dilemma. They would like to spend more time improving the overall work environment for employees. They want to help their executives save on workforce-related expenses, find and hire better talent, and improve existing talent through training and development. Unfortunately, most days, HR managers are stuck doing paperwork. In fact, according to a Forrester Research report, on average, more than 50% of a human resource department's time is spent processing employee information and answering questions. With so many resources dedicated to maintaining the workforce, it is often necessary to identify ways to improve results, increase efficiency, and lower costs. A human resource management system can help schools find and capitalize on such opportunities. A human resource management system (HRMS) provides an integrated software solution for automating and managing an organization's core workforce administration, including employee job and personal information; government compliance; employee benefits; attendance; pay roll; recruitment; employee development, compensation, and retention; and planning, analysis, and reporting. The author discusses the role and benefits of HRMS technology.
