Web Based Compensation and Planning
Compensation and planning
includes many things beyond straight salary and regular planning. It also
includes perks, benefits, stock options, etc. HR management team has to balance
these cost against what your employees according to their asset value, and
varies their seniority with others new employees.
In olden days, all company around
the word is familiar with using Microsoft Excel or others spreadsheet type
software to manage or organize their compensation and planning. Microsoft excel
and others spreadsheet software fail to provide matching budget and financial
modelling capabilities to show the workflow issues related to execution of
compensation and planning cycle effectively. Nowadays, web-based compensation
and planning has been introduce and invent to all HR team management to provide
matching budget and financial modelling capabilities that show the workflow
issues related to execution of compensation and planning cycle effectively. The
web-based compensation and planning is invent to make the planning more easily
record and efficient in the progress.
Some of this problem has been
solve since the invention of the web-based compensation and planning which is
failure to communicate and access your organization’s compensation and planning
data. In olden days, many organizations rely on managers to convey messages
about compensation and planning. So, it will be possible that not all the
employee will hear the organization compensation and planning. Nowadays since
the web-based compensation and planning is invented, the problem has been
solved by the system 24/7 accessibility. All the employees can access the
compensation and planning information by going to the organization site
everywhere and anywhere the employees’ desire.
Besides that, another problem
that occurs in olden days is that a lot of room and space needed to keep track
of the employee’s files of compensation. The problem has been solved with the
web-based compensation and planning because all the employees compensation data
will be stored in the company or organization database which can be access
anywhere because the data is save in the company online database which do not
require room and space.
There are lot of advantage using
web-based system. Some of the advantage is that the data is more manageable
because it can be manage and access by many end user workstations at a time.
Another advantage is that the system can secure the data. High Security can be
implementing to the data of the employees to protect their personal data. If in
the olden days the data is unprotected and exploit to high risk of stolen of
employees files or loss of employees file. Another important advantages of the
web-based application is that the system can dramatically reduce the company
cost for support and maintenance.
Web Based Occupational Safety and Health
What is occupational safety and
health (OSH)? From my reading, OSH is a cross-disciplinary area concerned with
protecting the safety, health and welfare of people engaged in work or
employment. The purposes of these programs include fostering a safe and healthy
work environment. OSH may also protect co-workers, family members, employers,
customers, and many others who might be affected by the workplace environment.
By using the web based
occupational safety and health in the work place, can give more useful information
for both employees and employers. Through this web site, the employee can
easily access and get the important information. Their functions include
promoting safety and health in the community, education and training,
consultancy services, research, strategies development and information
dissemination.
Here are the examples of situation
that occur when the organization implement this new technology replace for the
traditional method. Automatic OSH reporting will be supported by warning
systems within the HRIS to ensure all staff has updated their OSH training and
specific to their role. Organizations with sophisticated systems are now using
these capabilities to regularly gauge employees’ OSH knowledge base on online
test provided through the ESS portal. Those who fail the test, which pops up on
their screen when they switch on their computer at the start of a shift,
automatically receive notice of the need to complete an online module covering
the topics failed. Their manager will be informed of the results of the initial
test and any follow-up tests required. The supervisor will also be alerted to
the need for the employee to undertake additional training if any modules are
not successfully completed.
In addition, web-based information
system can help in producing the security reports to the other units of the
organization either in the global or local. For organizations that have a
transnational network, web base OSH is the most effective medium to disseminating
information. This is because when the headquarters of the organization have the
latest information on OSH, each unit will be notified. Similarly, if the headquarters
need information or reports of OSH they only need to access to the web site.
Web Based Employee Learning and Development (ELD)
ELD is a tool that can help both
organization and employees to reach their target achievements and goals either
organization needs or individual needs. Use of this web based is to enhance the
knowledge development of employees. Besides, it also plays a role to raising
and improving the job performance and the result of productivity of an employee
in the company.
There are several advantages of
implementing ELD system, which is more cost effective. Although developing an
ELD system may requires an amount of budget from the organization, this system
can be used for years with only minor updates required. Besides that, the
accessibility of the ELD system had further ensured the cost effectiveness of
the system. More employees can reach the system within seconds. So, more
information with details can be found in the ELD system compared to the manual
system. This system has brought a lot of benefits for organization and
employees itself due to the self-service system that employees are able to make
assessment and development by themselves. Besides, they can enhance their
interpersonal development through this system and at the same time improved
their computer skills.
There are also has disadvantage
of implementing this technology in the organization. Which is, reduce face to
face communication among employees and environment in the organization will
lack of interaction between employees and managers. Although questions can be asked through
online system, however, the answer given may not be the answer which the employee
wants and this may lead to miscommunication and also job, task, or role
ambiguities in the organization.
While studying this topic, I
understand that with both advantages and disadvantages exist, the ELD system
was still favoured by organization. It happened because it is crucial in
helping the organization to arrange and witness employee trainings,
developments, and achievements. With the ELD system, employees can be armed
with knowledge, skill, and ability to face daily tasks. Besides, ELD helps the
employees to learn ways to overcome job stressors and maintain their passions
at work place with various programs provided.
From my point of view, there is
no doubt that ELD system is an effective and efficient system which helps
individual employee and organization in preparing the employees with their
future work and improve employee’s performance and the organization’s itself.
