Summary.. summary.. ^_^

After learnt the entire topics, I got a knowledge pertaining to the topics. The topics make me more understand about the systems that use by personnel in human resource department in organization as well as to the employee in the organization. After learnt the topics, I thinks that the e-recruitment, online induction, and performance management system is very important because it can give benefits to the individual employee as well as to the organization.

The e-recruitment system is the online recruitment that can facilitate the recruiting the employee in the organization. In contrast, the online induction system is the tools that can use by the new employee in order to get and adapt the new environment in the organization and the performance management system is use by the organization to manage the performance in the organization more efficient and effective.

The application of the systems also can facilitate the work of the employee in the organization. However, there are several aspects need to be consider in order to develop and use the systems. Other than that, each of the systems has their own advantages and disadvantages. The application of these systems must be remain use in the organization so that the organization flow becomes more efficient and effective.

In conclusion, the topics learnt and information gathered in this reflection is important and useful to me for my future use when I get the job in the human resource field. The information gathered can help me to remember back what I have learnt before and it will benefit to me.

Performance management system

18 December 2011

15:17 p.m.

For the next class of HRIS I have learnt about performance management system. I think this topic quite difficult because the system that involves the management of employee performance. At that time, I am so curious about the topic and how the system work. As I know, performance management system is a predetermined set of guidelines for individuals employed by a company.

Other than that, Dr NurNaha asks the class about the differences between performance management and performance appraisal. I know the answer for that question and I answer it. Besides that, I can remember about the tools that be used to evaluate performance of the employee because Dr. NurNaha highlighted that aspect. There are several tools to evaluate performance that include balance scorecard, 360 degree feedback, and critical incident approach as well as Management By Objective (MBO) because it also one tool that use for performance appraisal.

One aspect that the important that I have learnt is the role of technology in supporting performance. There are three categories that include the web, third-party vendors, and ERP providers. In this topic also I learnt about the definition, stages, and performance appraisal, requirement of effective performance management, and performance standards and performance measures. Besides that, there are also having advantages and disadvantages of using the performance management system.

One of the advantages of performance management system is it offers an organization a systematic way to get employees to achieve goals. The one of the disadvantages is expensive and time-consuming. Besides that, in order to get an effective performance management system, several components need to be included. The components are performance planning, performance appraisal and reviewing, feedback on the performance followed by personal counseling and performance facilitation, rewarding good performance, performance improvement plans, and potential appraisal. This topic is important because it give me the insight about the performance management system.

At that day, I am so curious on what topic I will learn in the class. Yes, I learnt about online induction system. I am so happy and exciting at that day because the topic is our group project topic. During the lecture, I give full attention and alert what the Dr. Nurnaha teach so that I will more understand and make the comparison and what elements that we need to incorporate and add in our system. This is because my group creates our own online induction system.

From the topic, I learnt about the concept or definition about the online induction system. Other than that, I also learnt about the components that need to incorporate in the system, advantages and disadvantages as well as the positive and negative implication towards using the online induction system by organization. What I have learnt, online induction system is a tool that can facilitate the new employee in the organization know about their new environment.

What I have learnt also, there are several components that need to put in the online induction system. It includes home page, about us, induction programs, employee, and frequently asked questions (FAQ). Each of the components has their function and information provided in order to help the new employee.

Dr. Nurnaha also provides us the example of online induction system together with their function on that day. I get the actual picture of online induction system. It has surprised me actually. From the lecture, I know a several advantages and disadvantages of using the system. The system has benefit to the organization as well to the new employee. One of the advantages is save cost and time and one of the disadvantages is technological issue by using the system.

Web-based Human Resource planning: recruiting and staffing

18 December 2011 
09:45 a.m.

                                                         Example of e-recruitment system

The next topic I learnt in HRIS class is an e-recruitment system or online recruitment system. Before this I have see about the application job by online and I do not know about what the system used for it, the function, and all about e-recruitment system but now I learnt about the e-recruitment system. From this topic, I learnt about the definition of e-recruitment system. E-recruitment system is an online job application and processing system that allows employers to advertise their job openings, and for candidates to submit their applications online.

During learn this topic, Dr. NurNaha also highlight several aspects in the e-recruitment system topic. One of the aspects is a word of ‘content management’. Dr. Nurnaha has asked in the class about the meaning of the ‘content management’. I am very worry because I do not know the answer. Content management is actually about the clear arrangement of data or information on the screen so that user can see the data or the information. Dr. also asks about Graphic User Interface (GUI) and I understand what is GUI.

From the e-recruitment system topic, I also learnt about the objectives, component, function and application, advantages and disadvantages, and implication on management of the e-recruitment system. With the more explanation and discussion of the topic by Dr. NurNaha, I clear and understand the e-recruitment system.

From this topic, I know the importance of the e-recruitment system which is can benefit to the organization. One of the advantages using the e-recruitment system is reduction in the time for recruitment (over 65 percent of the hiring time) and one of the disadvantages of using the system is screening and checking the skill mapping and authenticity of million of resumes is a problem and time consuming exercise for organizations. This information gathered in this reflection is useful for me to my future use when I get job in human resource field.
