Benefits Of Human Resource Management Information System

The benefits of human resource management information system adoption are argued from the organisation’s side, and employees are the largest group of users by a wide margin.

What they get is small and matters. Seeing their own leave balance without asking anybody. Updating an address or bank account themselves. Finding the policy they half remember. Knowing what training they have completed and what is outstanding. Having their documents in one place rather than in an old email.

That last one is worth more than it sounds. An employee who can find their own contract and payslips does not ask HR for them.

Access to your own personal information is also a principle under Australian privacy law, so making it self-service is aligned with the obligation rather than merely convenient.

The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner publishes the access principle. This is general information rather than legal advice, and obligations vary by state and territory.
