Assignment Description/Scenario
You are an HR Consultant given a job to research HRIS Vendors to help a business resolve an HR issue. The business is currently faced with a few HR issues, for example, high turnover. Part of the problem may also relate to performance evaluations. The business has found that many employees have not been evaluated for years; this may be contributing to turnover. Also, because of the growing business, managing the benefits for employees has become cumbersome and takes most of HR’s time in assisting employees with choices and troubleshooting.
Assignment Criteria
You have been asked to find a technology solution to one of these problems:
1) turnover
2) performance evaluations
3) benefits management
For example, what technology would help this company identify the core issue behind turnover? How might technology help decrease turnover and increase retention? What technology would help this business create a process and insure employee performance is evaluated? What can technology do to reduce HR labor related to benefits management?
Use the link to HRIS Vendors found in Webliography and research different HRIS vendors that might resolve your chosen problem. Your paper should fully evaluate one vendor and its relevant products/services. I’m not looking for a copy/paste of the vendor’s website information, but your review and analysis. Be sure to review product capabilities, product and service pros/cons, cost considerations, support and training issues, etc. Share why you chose this vendor. You will need to fully explain and justify your recommendation.
Grading Criteria: This assignment is worth 100 points.
The following information must be included in your completed paper. Use the headings outlined below for your paper.

Review the type of HR technology you are recommending the organization use. Be sure to fully explain your reasons for selecting this type of system.

In this section, you should include outside research information from scholarly reviewed articles, journals, etc. on the type of technology you are looking previewing.

Vendor Selected and Evaluation |
Describe, review, and assess the chosen vendor. Review the reasons why you chose this vendor, the relevant products and services each vendor offers, and your evaluation of the vendor’s applications.
Important! Do NOT simply cut and paste information from web sites or copy information directly; this should not be a sales pitch but an assessment of the product. Do the research and profile the vendor in your own words. |
