Selecting the Right Human Resource Information System Package
Scenario
With a solid start and a happy board of directors, you are well on your way to establishing an effective succession plan. To help streamline current and future procedures, you have decided to invest some time in finding an HRIS package that will fulfill the succession needs of your organization. You know that each HRIS package boasts different results but are not sure which might align best with the succession goals you are trying to accomplish. As such, identify the top three HRIS products to conduct a side-by-side comparison of their functions, solutions, security measures, costs, and miscellaneous considerations that come with the product. Seeing this information in an outlined format will not only assist you in your decision but can also help you highlight the rationale for your final HRIS selection to your board of directors.
