Human Resources function is responsible for attracting, developing and maintaining a work force. Human Resources information system supports these activities, such as identifying potential employees, maintaining complete records on existing employees and creating programs to develop employees’ talents.

Staying upbeat and motivated has always been linked to performance and a conflict free environment. Disgruntled employees not only diminish the positive energy of the organisation but also influence other colleagues in thinking negatively.
Upbeat and passionate employees drive the organisation towards taking risks and changing the status quo, they encourage and foster growth and constantly focus on outbeating competition.

Decision making is a delicate part of a managerial career. This is true for people managers as well. Thinking is the central theme when it comes to decisions.

1. Do you need an HR system?
The first step to getting your HR department transformed through an HR system is to look at and find out what exactly you need. Do you want an HR system in the first place? What features of the HR system do you need? It is a necessity or is it just an extra which you would like to have?
Many HR Managers want a HR system but they do not fully comprehend the benefits of such a system. They are unaware that HR systems can improve staffing efficiency and reduce HR department costs. They are unaware that by using a HR system they can solve many of their impending HR problems and enforce better HR policies and practices.
By fully understanding what an HR system can offer and what features they provide you can easily decide if you require an HR system or not. In most cases you will require such a system as HR systems provide benefits for almost any organisation, unless maybe you are a florist with only 3 employees.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has many benefits for any organisation; almost every key organisation has some form of CSR. CSR does not have to be an activity that an organisation only spends on and does not gain anything out of. A good CSR campaign can be designed to be aligned towards the Marketing or HR strategy so that apart from being a socially responsible activity, it also helps these functions and contributes to the overall organisation al strategy.
