Bewildered by the latest HR terminology? Wondering what is an HR system, an HRMS or an HRIS and whether they’re right for your business? A human resources management system (HRMS) or a human resources information system (HRIS) are business reporting systems that automate those time-consuming HR tasks threatening to swamp your teams on a daily basis.
We’re talking about a cloud-based HR management system that replaces separate manual HR, payroll, time and attendance processes. A human resource management system can enable managers and HR teams to:
Perhaps most important are the data analysis tools and reports available from HRMS software, so that managers can pinpoint trends or patterns and then pivot the business accordingly.
There are many benefits to business leaders of uniting multiple HR sources into one HRMS solution. Not only does management and reporting become much easier, but manual data input errors are eradicated, boosting security. Meanwhile, with greater visibility of data comes more transparent collaboration and productivity between multiple teams across your company.
When HR and payroll data is synced, it’s easier for teams to collaborate across the business.
Access to smart data enables business leaders to see patterns in employee behaviour.
Managers can now generate reports for a deeper exploration of the data.
Businesses can plan for events before they happen and take more informed decisions.
Time-consuming administration is now automated and streamlined, saving valuable time.
Thanks to automatic updates of HRMS software solutions, keeping compliant is no longer an issue.
Both these terms (HRMS and HRIS) tend to be used interchangeably to talk about the technical systems powering many HR functions, such as managing employee data, running payroll or other staff benefits. While human capital management (HCM) describes the overall strategic or management approach a company takes to maximising the potential of its talent, HRMS and HRIS are used to highlight the more technical solutions.
Choosing an integrated HCM solution over a single HRIS platform is vital if your company wants to deep dive into data analytics, reduce repetitive tasks and boost operational efficiency.
