  • Step 1: Initial Assessment
  • if the department has the need but does not have the time available to take on the data-gathering and evaluation process, hiring a consultant to assist with this process may be a wise choice.

  • HR professionals should look beyond the needs of the HR department and consider the strategic plans of the organization.
  • the minimum system requirements for each organization will differ to some degree. However, each organization will need a system that will gather, organize and securely maintain employee data.
  • An ESS allows employees to view and update their personal information in the system.
  • The greater the value that the organization will see from the module, the more likely it could be considered a need versus a want.
  • Step 3: Assessing the Project Parameters
  • Budgetary constraints
  • Step 6: Request for Proposal (RFP)
  • Technological constraints
  • it is essential to ensure sufficient lead time to complete the request for proposal (RFP), technology selection and review, and implementation processes.
  • Step 4: Evaluating Available Packages Against Needs and Project Parameters
  • The specific needs and requirements can be listed down the left-hand side of the spreadsheet, and the vendors and products to be assessed can be added across the top.
  • Following an initial elimination of packages and providers that do not fit the needs of the organization, it is time to take a more critical view of the remaining options.
  • A time clock-based system may be more effective in a manufacturing environment in which all employees pass through specific entry and exit portals and all work is performed onsite. Matching the system availability with the needs of the organization will help ensure a better value on the investment.
  • Step 5: Selecting the Project Committee
  • Time constraints
  • Step 7: Demonstration and Evaluation
  • Step 8: Choosing Between the Finalists

    Many HRIS choices are available at different price points providing different levels of functionality. Given the importance of the choice the employer is making, the package selected should meet its current needs and have the flexibility to grow and expand with the organization into the foreseeable future. However, constraints from budgets, hardware and time will affect the choice made.

  • Here is a summary of the trends in three online distribution channels used in the hospitality industry: websites, Global Distribution Systems (GDS), and online travel agents (OTAs).
  • The most critical measures of marketing are the customer acquisition cost (CAC) and the customer lifetime value (CLV), which at times can be difficult to understand and quantify.
  • the hotel website reflects and emphasizes the hotel’s image and competitive edge
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • OTAs can boost occupancy in need periods and help diversify a hotel’s client base by introducing guests that otherwise might not have considered staying at that particular hotel
  • the GDS connects hotels with consortia, which are global associations of travel agents that provide hotels primarily with major sources of corporate business.
  • A vanity domain name with an independent website that reflects the hotel’s unique personality can be an advantage for a branded hotel operator to include relevant information about their particular submarket and the property.
  • The advantage of this distribution channel is marketing exposure. If a hotel is incapable of filling certain days using other channels, even higher-cost OTAs would be considered a benefit.
  • GDS provide pricing, availability, and reservation functionality to a world-wide market of consortia, who can book airline, car, hotel, and other travel arrangements for their customers.
  • It is important for hotels to ease the booking process for travel agents by including the right type of information and rates in the GDS, and by keeping hotel information current, including all attractions and points of interest that attract guests.
  • The GDS distribution channel remains an important part of the industry, and it can have a significant impact on the amount of commercial demand captured.
  • Data mining will help managers understand how many room nights are being booked and the typical season and day of the booking, which will in turn help them recognize how to maximize profit from these accounts and avoid displacing higher-rated demand.
  • GDS channel advertising opportunities are also available to increase the exposure of the hotel on the GDS
