What Are the Disadvantages of a Human Resource Management System? | Chron.com - 0 views

  • Human resources management systems offer efficient digital management of your employee data. You can monitor everything from benefits to payroll and paid time off with a few clicks on your computer. This makes your HR functions quick, but it doesn't always make them better.
  • Your employees entrust you with personal information. Everything from Social Security numbers to private health information and marital status gets stored in your HR management system. Several layers of management may have access to that information. In addition, a non-management employee may engage in identity theft and access a fellow employee's sensitive data. Such a breach of security with your management system can embroil you in legal problems and create poor employee relatio
  • ecause HR management systems do such a good job of listing employee accomplishments, certifications and degrees, managers may be tempted to promote based on the objective data your system provides. This may discourage supervisors from taking the time to get to know employees on a personal basis as part of their evaluation of what staff members can contribute to your company. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management points out that computerized employee evaluations can result in an impersonal narrative from the supervisor. Such evaluations may not be the most reliable guides for making decisions about promotions.

    This article examines the disadvantages of a human resource management system. Employees give all of their personal information from their social security to martial status. One obvious disadvantage to having all of this information is a security breach which could create legal problems if employees choose to take on legal action. Another negative to HRIS that is discussed in the article is the finances involved with using this system. Another cost would be training the staff to learn how to use the HRIS system. Throughout the entire article I thought this negative stood out the most. With so much information in the system, it could be difficult for any owner/manager/ or employee to analyze. It could be hard to generate reports and/or identify patterns, according to the article.

The Advantages of Being Computer Literate in the Workforce | Chron.com - 0 views

  • Although employers expect prospective hires to have a basic knowledge of standard office software programs and internet capabilities, they prefer to see a higher level of competency beyond the basics.
  • If a prospect is already well-versed in the necessary programs for the job, the costs to train new hires drops, as well.
  • Morgan Staley on 25 Aug 18
     
    Computer skills are listed on almost every job description posted. However, companies are now being more selective when choosing the candidate that will be more cost effective for their organization. Employee turnover is becoming more expensive especially if it is a seasoned employee with the database knowledge for the organization. Each employee comes with a cost to train, if the employee enters the job with prior computer knowledge the fees associated to hiring that person are less. From a personal standpoint, when looking to hire a front desk agent and two agents apply one with prior experience on Opera PMS and one without, I would hire the agent with experience. This is a cost savings measure for me on labor as the experienced employee would require less training time. In my opinion, a 2 week notice is very rare in our industry or with the new generation in general. Therefore causing employers to be in an urgent state to hire when one employee leaves. Finding the appropriate candidate with prior computer based knowledge is only more enticing with that in mind.

    This article talks about the ease of using an HRIS not only for the HR department and other departments in the hotel but for employees as well. The article is divided into these two separate groups and lists the benefits for each group and how those benefits could be implemented. The use of an HRIS for the HR department would assist with adding new hires to the system, automating reoccurring tasks such as payroll, and keep track of employees (i.e. if they are at work of off and where they are within the hotel). For employees the HRIS could assist in keeping track of when employees clock in from remote locations and communicating with the HR department in a singular way to perform certain tasks such as requesting time off.

    The biggest benefit that we can get from HRIS is the productivity. All the tasks that HR department is doing can be done by pen and paper and it has been using for past years. However, companies including hotels now want to run HR department more efficiently. This program help to reduce labor cost but improve communication with employees. On top of this benefits, it has much more advantages. However, there are still small hotels not using this program because of their financial budget. Once again, it is not a mandatory program as PMS but it is necessity.

In addition, HRIS can create self- service options, which employees can be able to access useful information without having to spend a lot of time going from one office to the next.

    Now as the world developed, security of every area becomes more and more important especially in hospitality industry. More and more new technology is used in hotel. From this article, we know that the Hilton Americas-Houston has installed a cutting edge digital video system that relies on facial recognition technology.The hotel isn't just monitoring for potential outsider threat; it's also keeping an eye out for rogue insiders, too. The hotel is using facial recognition to monitor employee behavior, paying particular attention to any former employees who leave on less-than-pleasant terms. All employees are informed that video monitoring of them takes place. The video system monitors the areas where employees come to punch into time clocks in order to verify the person's identity. But perhaps more significantly, the facial recognition system is used to watch for any suspicious activities of employees or former employees. For security problems that happened already, the system can find relevant surveillance footage in seconds rather than hours, which can aid in solving crimes and possibly prosecuting criminals. Hotel security could also derail potential dangers before they happen by, for instance, uploading a digital image of someone who is banned from the hotel and letting the system send an alert when the person shows up. Using facial recognition, the system would issue an alert if the person walked into a hotel so security so then hotel security could then escort the people out of the hotel. In serious cases, footage can be stored and e-mailed to an insurance company or local district attorney.
  • Melissa Krajewski on 30 Mar 12
     
    This seems similar to the casino facial recognition technology that Professor Cilli mentioned in the video lecture. Its interesting that you mentioned protecting the Hotel and their guests from disgruntled former employees backlash. With the Hotel common areas not being private space I don't see why guests would have a problem with privacy infringement.
  • Allen Lok on 22 Mar 13
     
    3VR highlights hotel security program that incorporates facial recognition to track guest, identify unwanted or banned guest and monitor employee attendance and behaviors. Also it can be used to help those pesky items that guests seem to keep losing by using color, size and other physical attributes. While this system has many benefits to a hotel, I see this being only feasible in a large property where the sheer volume of customers and guest can produce enough revenues to offset the cost of this system.

  • It’s one thing to report lackluster restaurant sales because of a slow economy or missed marketing opportunities. It’s another entirely to realize the people you’ve hired to work for you have been skimming off the top and stealing from the register.
  • Every year in the restaurant industry, employee theft accounts for $3 to $6 billion of missing income for high-volume restaurants across the country.
  • the first step in reducing or limiting employee theft is identifying what kind of theft is taking place in your restaurant.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • The most effective place to start is with your employee onboarding and training practices.
  • When employees first join your company, you have an excellent opportunity to set your expectations around employee theft and make clear that it’s not acceptable behavior.
  • Unfortunately, preventative strategies will only lower employee theft; they won’t eliminate it. That’s where your third and final strategy comes into play: regular reporting and monitoring of your point-of-sale (POS) system and any integratedthird-party systems, like guest loyalty and engagement software.
  • At one point or another, any staff member could give in to the desire to make more money by committing employee theft. That’s why your restaurant leadership team needs to look out for these behaviors and put policies and practices in place that make it as difficult as possible to steal from the restaurant, thereby removing the opportunity from staff members who are tempted.
  • hankunli on 23 Jul 20
     
    Employee theft is a frequent issue in restaurants nowadays. Ways to deal with this kind of issue include identifying the kinds of theft, identify employee theft prevention strategies, and invest in modern reporting technologies. The first step was to identify the kinds of theft and to know what has actually happened, including voiding cash checks, excessive loyalty card use, bogus dine-and-dash, etc. Next is to identify prevention strategies like telling employees in advance that theft is not acceptable. Finally, business owners need an advanced reporting system that can generate reports routinely and identify the possible employee thefts.

  • cheap gadgets might bring new problems
  • The hospitality industry is in the process of introducing remote panic buttons in an effort to address the widespread issue of violence and sexual assault against hotel staff
  • 20,000 hotel properties in Canada and the United States have committed to providing an estimated 1.2 million employees with Employee Safety Devices

  • all housekeeping staff to carry a panic button device on them at all times
  • low-quality versions of the technology that pose significant privacy and security risks to the people who carry them. Weak password protections and a lack of encryption leave users vulnerable to cyberattacks, which could render the devices unusable—or, worse, be used to invade hotel employees’ privacy
  • 58% of hotel workers and 77% of casino workers have been sexually harassed by a guest. Nearly half have had guests answer the door naked or expose themselves, and nearly 15% have been cornered.
  • casino giants MGM Resorts International and Caesars Entertainment agreed to equip nearly 38,000 hotel staff with safety devices during contract negotiations
  • the CEOs of a number of major hotel chains—including Hilton, Hyatt, IHG, Marriott, and Wyndham—joined the pledge
  • Safe but insecureThe discovery of vulnerabilities in certain versions of this technology may pose a potential challenge
  • lack of encryption that compromised the device’s security
  • the software powering the tracker was hosted on a cloud-based service, which it used to communicate with a mobile application. But the cloud software didn’t require any authorization. A hacker could connect to the service and “instruct any tracker in the world to do things,” he explains.
  • Among the vulnerabilities a hacker could exploit are the ability to see the real-time location of users and to gain access to built-in microphones and cameras
  • That poses a problem for the hotel industry, Hron believes, because establishments not  bound by union or legislative requirements may buy inferior devices without vetting them properly, merely to satisfy new regulations. “Each hotel is buying these devices themselves—it’s not like some central authority is giving these devices to hotels,” he says. “My guess is [some are] going to buy a cheap device, and in this case, it’s pretty reasonable to think that there aren’t any analysts doing security checks on them.”
  • The lack of clear legislation also leaves workers vulnerable in jurisdictions that don’t explicitly ban employers using the devices to track the movements of hotel staff
  • technology isn’t capable of real-time tracking because it runs on WiFi and Bluetooth Low Energy, or BLE, and only transmits a signal when activated. Other devices that utilize GPS or WiFi connectivity, however, have the ability to transmit real-time location data on an ongoing basis
  • “The technology has to work every time, but the product only works if the right policies, procedures, and personnel are put in place that allow the system to function as a system
  • While the initial reason for the solution was to address sexual assault, there are other things that happen to housekeepers in hotel rooms as well,” says Ogle. “We’ve had team members that have had medical issues themselves, or found guests in rooms with medical conditions that were asking for assistance
  • Providing precise location data to first responders in the event of an emergency actually has the potential to save lives, but the technology will only be adopted if users believe it is being used appropriately
  • artandmer on 25 May 22
     
    The major hotel chains are influencing legislation and also now requiring employee safety devices (ESDs) to make the workplace safer for employees (i.e. room service attendants or housekeepers) who find themselves alone in guest rooms with ill-intentioned guests. ESDs can also be appropriate for large resorts with beach personnel, activities personnel, or other positions that find themselves in enclosed, or remote areas with less security. Not every hotel has a security department that can constantly monitor cameras and ESDs. Will these devices present more strain on hotel wireless networks? That depends. Hoteliers need to consider whether these devices will be provided by or monitored through their keylock vendor, through their guest room entertainment vendor, or through a wireless provider. Could there be a benefit to an ESD interface with the PMS? I'm not finding an obvious answer. Hotels, varying in room count, are providing ESDs that range from whistles to wireless to BLE or RFID enabled. Hotel owners and management companies have the responsibility to research the most appropriate solution for their hotel without undermining the safety and privacy of their employees and their hotel networks.

  • One answer lies in the POS system. A smarter, more responsive, up-to-date POS system that can not only bring additional revenues to your establishment but also keep your employees happy — whether they take orders over the phone or provide table service. Let’s take a look.
  • the tipping situation at QSR/fast-casual restaurants is all over the map.

  • some restaurants in this category still do not accept tips. Tipping at restaurants in this category is now the norm and a must.
  • Automated buttons with tip suggestions are the way to go, and can increase tip amounts by upwards of 50%.
  • Adjust tip errors as they occur.
  • newer options such as online ordering require more work on the part of the customer but they allow you to run your restaurant more efficiently even if short-staffed and put less stress on your employees. Less stressed employees mean happier employees and ideally less turnover.
  • Offer cash discounting.
  • By not having to pay processing fees, a business owner can instead reinvest the funds back into the business and its employees.
  • Make sure your POS is responsive and has backup options.
  • Aside from the obvious marketing and branding benefits, when people carry a balance on a gift card, they are aware of it and they know that they need to spend it. Customers might be using a gift card because they received it as a gift (obviously), but loyal customers might just buy gift cards for convenience and keep adding a balance to it for themselves.
  • your POS system is the key to better paid, less frustrated employees who are happier—and stick around.
  • While higher tips and less stress about the restaurant’s processes and IT might not be the only factors that keep a worker from quitting, every little bit helps.
  • Don't be afraid to ask more of your processor, and if they aren’t willing to work with you to improve your operations,
  • then it’s time to re-evaluate your relationship with them.

    This article from the CEO of PayBright discusses the many ways that restaurants can make their POS better at serving its employees. Options such as pre-calculated tip suggestions, flexible ordering options, cash discounts, and gift card management are all ways that more (tip) money can flow into servers' pockets. An intelligently managed POS can lead to happier (and retained) employees and a more efficient operation.

shared by Minghui Zheng on 22 Nov 12 - No Cached
  • When the decision to build a human resources information systems department is made, examine the options carefully and be aware of technology and human resources trends for a small business. Small businesses have unique needs based on company goals for growth, or a plan to remain small with access to technology without the hefty costs. The term "human resources information systems" (HRIS) often is used interchangeably with human resources management system (HRMS) and human resources information technology (HRIT). Any of these terms is used to describe the computer and information technology a company utilizes to automate human resources functions and employment actions.
  • A very popular use of HRIS is employee self-service. Many employers are utilizing their HRIS to supplement the human resources department staff by enabling employees for find answers to common questions they would have asked a human resources representative.

    This article summarized the advantages and disadvantages of using human resource information system. An HRIS is used for employment actions such as applicant tracking, performance management, attendance, compensation and benefits management, work force analyses, and scheduling. A very popular use of HRIS is employee self-service. There are a lot of advantages of HRIS, such as it is monitored by qualified specialists who know technology and HR functional and tactical processes can manage compliance with federal and state laws, streamline processes for recruitment and selection, and produce analyses, data and reports for internal and external use. What's more, it is easy to use for qualification computer technology specialists, accuracy of information and the ability to perform HR audits using any combination of parameters. It saves a lot of time. The disadvantages included that HRIS may involve human error during information input, costly technology to update the system and malfunctions or insufficient applications to support the human resources needs. There should be a qualified specialist with human resources functional area knowledge to manage this system. The cost to hire an HRIS specialist may be far above the average salary for a computer technology specialist.

    The article highlighted describes some advantages and disadvantages of a Human Reources Information System for small business, that would include restaurants. The decision maker would have to take in consideration what type of information the system will need to handle in order to select the system to be used. This systems can do applicant tracking, perfomance management, attendance, compensatio, benefitios, paid time off and etc. A type of disadvantage for small businesses would be to be able to get support from somebody to manage the system. This could have high costs involved.

    This article discusses Human Resource Information Systems and the benefits and disadvantages to investing in such a program. Some of the advantages that the article addresses are: "manage compliance with federal and state laws, streamline processes for recruitment and selection, and produce analyses, data and reports for internal and external use." The technology allows employees and managers to "locate answers and information quickly without the need to consult an HR representative every time." I feel that this advantage outweighs any of the disadvantages that there may be. The benefits of a business/hotel running more smoothly are infinitely rewarding to profits and many other aspects of convenience. Some of the disadvantages that the article addresses are insufficient applications to support the human resource department, as well as it being costly.

    This article describes Human Resource Information systems and the benefits and disadvantages to investing in this type of technology. The article states that the advantages to investing are: "being able to manage compliance with federal and state laws, streamline processes for recruitment and selection, and produce analyses, data and reports for internal and external use." Most importantly though, the article states, "The employee and manager self-service features are excellent ways to free up the time of your human resources staff members for project work and other duties. Employees and managers can locate answers and information quickly without the need to consult an HR representative every time." This, to me, outweighs any disadvantage that may come from investing in HRIS technology because the convenience that this technology provides could really benefit profits for a business. HRIS is about coordinating communication among different departments. Businesses should really invest in this technology, even though it is costly, because ultimately it will increase profits by getting things done faster and more efficiently, as well as preventing problems from happening before they happen.

    With the development of high-tech management system, HRIS is no long strange for us. The HRIS is a software or online solution to data tracking, data management, or all of the data needs of the company within the human resources department. The reason why HRIS is becoming  more popular is that it has some useful functions such as the employee self-service through which employees can find answers to common questions by themselves while not ask a human resources representative. This system can help to save time and money for the company in certain aspects. But in this article, the author compares the advantages and disadvantages that HRIS brings to the company.The disadvantages can be that it may involve human errors during information input, costly technology update and so on. So if a company wants to apply this system, it should also look at these disadvantages, compare them with the advantages and then make a final decision in order to avoid suffering from the bad sides of the system.

HRIS has many advantages. It can help organization manage compliance with laws, streamline processes for recruitment and selection, and produce analyses, data and reports. The ease of use for qualified specialists, accuracy of information and the ability to perform HR audits using any combination of parameters. However, there are still some disadvantages, such as human error during information input, costly technology to update your system and malfunctions or insufficient applications to support human resources needs. In addition, the cost of hiring an HRIS specialist is also a problem for the small business.

    This is a very interesting article related to how employees interact with one another. Industry leaders such as Russell Brumfield, CEO of Wizard Studios Global Events, are using gadgets and apps to improve team building with employees on a constant basis, even when the individuals can not be in the same place at the same time. By using this technology, they believe that the process of bonding and learning becomes more interactive and therefore more fun. The article mentions that the addition of these technologies are especially beneficial in motivating "jaded employees." As Ian Fraser mentions, the game element of these apps is attractive to modern day employees; it just makes sense to integrate a technology that everyone is already craving in their daily lives. It is also mentioned the advantages of being able to connect massive amounts of people simultaneously. Lastly, the article touches upon the fact that these technologies are not meant to replace face to face interactions; instead, this is meant to improve upon this by extending the ability to interact and therefore continuously develop teambuilding.

    Many restaurants use their POS as their basic needs. They probably did not realize what other functions the POS has. This article introduces 3 ways to save cost by using the POS. First, it helps keep track of inventory management. It will track the products from the beginning of the day until you close. It prevents from theft and keeps track of the proper timing to order products when running low. New employees may not be trained enough to charge the proper amount of discount or daily specials meals. Instead of relying on employees to input the correct price, you can utilize your system to input the correct calculations for them. At the end of the day, you are not going to experience money being short. Third, it also helps to manage time and attendance for the employees. It is easy to lose track of your employees' attendance especially in the early morning or late night shifts. To avoid employee time theft, it is possible to set up the time and attendance software in your POS. In conclusion, the POS system does more than what people think. The POS is being underestimated and it is a good idea to take an advantage of the system to save your cost instead of setting up systems that cost much more money than this.

  • One of the most important departments of any hotel staff is human resources management. Proper human resources management can be the difference between a really well run hotel and a poorly one hotel. The human resources manager can control almost the whole feeling and presence of the entire hotel. This makes the importance of human resources management for hotels very evident.

    In this article, it talks about the importance of human resources management for hotel industry. First, one of the human resources manager 's job is to find those kind of people who are willing to work in hotel environment. Second, a lot of people  is not plan to work in one place as their career goal so that they are not stay in a company for a long time. But this will have a negative impact on hotel management and customers service. So HR manager should curb the desire and likelihood that employees will move to other jobs quickly by providing incentive programs. Those programs could contains of the English lessons for employees who are come from foreign countries and do not speak English well or offer ways for employees to advance in position. If employees can see a good prospects of their career in this hotel, they will work harder and try their best to make a promotion. Good employees benefit satisfactory customers and reflect on hotels revenue. Satisfactory customer is the best marketing tool for lodging industry.
