Employee Information System

What is an Employee Information System?

Employee Information System, also known as Human resource information system, is used for managing all the employee information under one roof. It includes their personal and professional information, their employment contract, onboarding paperwork, appraisals history, offer letter, and so on. Both employees and HRs can access and edit the data and get an idea of who’s who in the organization using the organization hierarchy present in the employee information system. It is primarily used for payroll processing, people management, and document management by the HR department.

Why should you use an Employee information System?

Simply put, an Employee information system brings all your employee data under one roof. Irrespective of your company size, when you have employees, you are bound to have paperwork. Instead of saving the documents in a drive, have them in a single place against respective employees, such that both employees and HR can use them whenever they want to. With the self-service option for the employees, they can change their personal and professional information, view their time-off reports, or look into appraisal history.
Define your organization’s hierarchy. As more people join the company and with internal promotions happening, the hierarchy likely becomes more complex. With an employee information system, you build a clear reporting structure that all employees can easily access. Next time, if they want to know who’d be the best person to advise them about a task, they would know whom to ask.
HR teams get more time in hand to strategically contribute to the company. Without an employee information system, HR members spend a significant amount of time sorting the paperwork, coordinating with multiple departments, managing payroll and appraisals, and so on. An employee information system can automate and coordinate numerous activities, eventually saving time and money.
