The organizations are growing in size, functions, are working across nations and thus are becoming more and more complex to handle. More and more organizations are integrating information technology (IT) in their human resource (HR) activities to improve their effectiveness. Technology helps to measure and manage the employee performance. It helps to automate the processes of HR and save time and cost and reduce the efforts required and the paperwork. According to a survey, more than 30 percent of the respondent organizations are already using or are planning to buy software for the performance management in the organization. To help and automate the processes of Performance appraisal management, organizations are increasingly taking the help of various performance management software’s like: ,[object Object]

Talent management software’sWhich help to systematically record all the data about the employee performance, pre-determined targets and the results achieved, compensation, succession planning and other related HR systems? The various forms can be filled online and can be submitted to the HR. The information is systematically stored in metrics where the current employee performance can be compared with the targets and the standards. These systems also help to analyze the training needs of the employees, systematically monitor their progress and their review and feedback and the improvement in the performances. Such software systems are provided by IT companies which they help to implement and integrate in the processes of the organizations. The organizations today have the choice of buying a ready to use licensed software package or can get a customized software system prepared according to its own needs and requirements. To complete the Performance appraisal subjectively and fairly, it is advised to consult the previous supervisor or manager. If this is not possible, consult the supervisor’s superior to get his views and inputs. Human Resource Information System (HRIS) Human Resource Management Information System (MIS) is concerned with all of the activities related to employees and potential employees of the organization. Typically, the better The Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) increasingly higher administrative control of such systems. Currently Human Resource Management Systems encompass: Payroll Work Time Benefits Administration HR management Information system Recruiting Training/Learning Management System Performance Record Employee Self-Service An effective HRIS provides information on just about anything the company needs to track and analyze about employees, former employees, and applicants. Your company will need to select a Human Resources Information System and customize it to meet your needs. With an appropriate HRIS, Human Resources staff enables employees to do their own benefits updates and address changes, thus freeing HR staff for more strategic functions. Additionally, data necessary for employee management, knowledge development, career growth and development, and equal treatment is facilitated. Finally, managers can access the information they need to legally, ethically, and effectively support the success of their reporting employees. After understanding most of the functions of HRMIS We are focusing on Performance appraisal. Before we move no to the technical aspects of Performance Appraisal we will understand what Performance appraisal is? Performance Appraisal The employee performance appraisal helps to identify, evaluate, and develop an individual's performance. It is a motivation tool that encourages employees to have high performance levels. ,[object Object]

Provision of an objective measuring tool on which compensation decisions, and promotions can be based

Identification of training needs - individually, departmentally and organizationally

Identification of employees who have the potential for advancement or who might be better suited in other areas of the organizationManaging employee performance is an integral part of the work that all managers and rating officials perform throughout the year. It is as important as managing financial resources and program outcomes because employee performance or the lack thereof, has a profound effect on both the financial and program components of any organization. One of the best ways to appreciate the purposes of performance appraisal is to look at it from the different viewpoints of the main stakeholders: the employee and the organization. Employee Viewpoint From the employee viewpoint, the purpose of performance appraisal is four-fold: Organisational viewpoint One of the principal aims of performance appraisal is to make people accountable. The objective is to align responsibility and accountability at every organizational level. Performance Management Goals Document individual, unit performance objectives for committed work • Discuss performance and identify actions to improve • Manage performance problems • Recognize and reward outstanding performance • Institutionalise Performance Management practices Inputs to the Human Resource MIS Strategic plan or corporate policies The TPS: Payroll data Order processing data Personnel data External sources Human Resource MIS Subsystems and Outputs Human resource planning Personnel selection and recruiting Training and skills inventory Scheduling and job placement Wage and salary administration The regulatory requirements for planning an employee’s performance include establishing the elements and standards in their EPAP (EPAP). An EPAP outlines the specific elements and standards that the employee is expected to accomplish during the rating cycle. Performance elements and standards should be measurable, understandable, verifiable, equitable, and achievable. DEVELOPING EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL PLANS (EPAP) How to Develop a Performance Management System A performance management system gives business leaders a way to tie project selection and employee assessment to core processes and key metrics. By ensuring that everyone is clear about the company's goals and that decisions are made based on those goals, managers can create a culture of accountability and optimize business results. Establishing this type of system involves a focus on process management and improvement, in line with methodologies such as Six Sigma and Lean manufacturing. The function of Human Resources departments is generally administrative and not common to all organizations. Organizations may have formalized selection, evaluation, and payroll processes. Efficient and effective management of quot;
Human Capitalquot;
has progressed to an increasingly imperative and complex process. The HR function consists of tracking existing employee data which traditionally includes personal histories, skills, capabilities, accomplishments and salary. To reduce the manual workload of these administrative activities, organizations began to electronically automate many of these processes by introducing specialized Human Resource Management Systems. HR executives rely on internal or external IT professionals to develop and maintain an integrated HRMS. Before the quot;
client-serverquot;
architecture evolved in the late 1980s, many HR automation processes were relegated to mainframe computers that could handle large amounts of data transactions. In consequence of the low capital investment necessary to buy or program proprietary software, these internally-developed HRMS were unlimited to organizations that possessed a large amount of capital. The advent of client-server, Application Service Provider, and Software as a Service or SaaS. Track and Manage Your Most Valuable Asset - Your Employees. Utilizing a Web-based platform allows you to streamline the entire HR lifecycle from recruitment and training to payroll and benefits administration. Consolidating these processes into once system allows small and medium sized businesses to proactively manage HR operations and improve efficiency. Most Web-based HRMS platforms offer much more than HR and employee benefits services. Look for a solution that offers a wide range of service offerings including payroll, talent management, applicant tracking, recruiting tools, pre-employment testing, background checks, labor law resources and skills training. Robust and user-friendly reporting tools are also critical. While employee access to a wide range of HR lifecycle services is helpful in streamlining HR processes, it is extremely important to choose a Web-based HRMS platform that is easy to use. Employees are less likely to embrace these services if they are too complex. Keep it simple. The key to finding the right HRMS system is selecting an HR business solution that is secure, well-supported, and equipped to help you reach your goals. With a centralized Web-based HRMS platform to support your HR department, you have the ability to successfully track, manage, and control your most valuable asset, your employees. How to Structure a Performance Management System A performance management system is a holistic way of managing employees in accordance with their skills, training and motivation levels for optimal performance of an organization. It is a technique of measuring, evaluating, training, mentoring and rewarding employees, teams and departments within an organization, agency or corporation.
