8 USING INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY TO ENHANCE HRM Automating existing work practices Exploring new ways of structuring work processes Paperless Office Time Attendance Monitoring & Enforcement Friendly work environment Eliminating errors in salary payments (Payrolls) Better Inventory Management Data Banks Eliminating the boundaries separating the various parts of the organization located in different centers

10 USING INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY TO ENHANCE HRM :Exploring New Work Structures Exploring new ways of structuring work processes Making work less tedious Reducing workload Standardization of HR process Virtual organizations Teleworking -Telecommuting Office decongestion Working at ones pace Saving cost Opportunity for more to work

11 USING INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY TO ENHANCE HRM :Paperless Office A paperless environment through a Document Management System will not only speed up storage and retrieval of documents, but also save costs of stationeries and space required for storing old archived documents. Below are some of the additional benefits of a paperless environment: Reduction of paper handling and error-prone manual processes Reduction of paper storage Reduction of lost documents Faster access to information Online access to information that was formerly available only on paper, microfilm, or microfiche Improved control over documents and document-oriented processes Streamlining of time-consuming business processes Security over document access and modification Provide reliable and accurate audit trail Improved tracking and monitoring, with the ability to identify bottlenecks and modify the system to improve efficiency Disaster Recovery provides an easy way to back-up documents for offsite storage and disaster recovery providing failsafe archives and an effective disaster recovery strategy. Paper is a bulky and expensive way to back-up records and is vulnerable to fire, flood, vandalism, theft and other Acts of God

12 USING INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY TO ENHANCE HRM :Time Attendance A time and attendance system can reduce errors in enforcement of an organization s attendance policies. Accurate pay and award interpretation Reduce payroll errors Reduced Administration Reduce Absenteeism Reduce payroll costs through reduced overtime Increase productivity Key labour cost, activity and productivity information Forward visibility of costs Increased staff empowerment and motivation

13 USING INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY TO ENHANCE HRM :Inventory An automated inventory system can help reduce internal theft and keep track of assets used by employees.

14 USING INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY TO ENHANCE HRM :DataBank A data bank is a repository of information on one or more subjects that is organized in a way that facilitates local or remote information retrieval. This can be used for storing staff profiles and generating reports.

16 THE SITUATION IN AFRICA Public Sector Poor Availability, vandalism and sabotage Private Sector Banks, Airlines, ATM machines even have Battery Powered Inverters to ensure constant electricity

17 THE CHALLENGE: TRAINING Learning to use the tool Changing Work Flows Skills in the use of application tools: Word processing -- spread sheets Basic operation of computers (for example, managing computer files and launching programs) Skills in the use of custom application tools Payroll system HRM Document Management System Intranet Repositories Skills in the use of basic Internet/intranet services Internet browsing Web browsers and electronic mail systems. Instant Messaging Video Conferencing

18 THE CHALLENGE: INFRASTRUCTURE Enabling environment for the tool Computing Telecommunications Broadcasting Publishing Electrical Power Distribution Transportation and Financial Infrastructure And Related Areas

19 OVERCOMING THE CHALLENGES The irony: Most of the obstacles to taking advantage of ICT in HRM can be tackled through newer more sophisticated and cheaper technology. Policies to support a brand new efficient and highly effective digital work flow. Training of Staff and executives to streamline their job functions on the new digital workflow. File Tracking to keep tabs on the movement of files through Document Management Systems. Authorization Levels/ Approval System. Security for the system to secure against internal and external sabotage. Availability of the system 24/7 through redundancy and backups to make sure there are no bottle necks during work hours. Connectivity of the system to ensure all staff, executives and other stake holders are connected through a robust network and appropriate terminals Usability of system by all stake holders through intuitive and simplified devices like touch screens, barcode scanners, biometric scanners, paper scanners, printers, e.t.c. Infrastructure to support the whole system flawlessly through world class Data Centers, armored cabling to combat RAT attacks, Fiber optic network to provide ample bandwidth for high volume data traffic; and intuitive terminals for an extremely easy and effective user experience.

20 MEETING THE CHALLENGES Tangier Declaration 1994: Investment in human resources constituted an essential basis for the development of Nations and a principal factor for achieving progress and welfare. Creating conditions for sustainable development: Public and private sector bodies must be backed by a responsible, effective, efficient and responsive human resource management system.
