Diverse Global Environment and Computerization HRM


According to Armstrong (2009), e-HR or computerized human resource information system consists of ‘a fully integrated, organization-wide network of HR-related data, information, services, databases, tools and transactions’. 

 Dessler (2013) expressed that in the global context, the Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) are expanded in worldwide by using web-based software packages. Example: Buildnet Inc. implemented we-based HRIS, which is Internet-based system includes human resource and benefits administration, applicant tracking and résumé scanning, training administration, and succession planning and development called MyHRIS from NuView, Inc. As a result the Company had real time excess to monitor its global HR functions.

 Followings are the leading six HRIS software as per their research (Software Advice, 2006-2018).
1. Bomboor HR
2. Natural HR
3. Lanteria HR
4. Zoho People
5. Criterion HCM
6. Engagedly  

 Organisations are becoming more diverse of the 21st century. Globalisation creates ability to produce at home and shipped in to global market and any one can order and get their requirement on his door from global market. That imperative requires them to move people, ideas, products, and information around the world to meet local needs. Under these circumstance, managers are struggling to balance the inconsistent demand to think globally and act locally (Ulrich, 1998). 

 According to Ciocirlan and Pettersson (2011) While globalisation, orgarnisations have to re-think about workforce diversity, advancement of technologies, climate change, at the scientific, political, and organizational levels. Fortune 500 companies are getting involved to manage this diverse environments. 

In European countries, most of immigrants come from Asia (29%), non‐EU Europe (23%), America (24%), Africa (22%), and Oceania (2%). In 2008, 70% of US were women and minorities. The US Census Bureau estimates that 50% of US population consist of minorities in 2050 and minority workers will becoming a majority workers by 2039 (Ciocirlan and Pettersson, 2011).

 According to Ulrich (1998) effective communication is very essential to balance this global market condition and HRIS also helps to improve the standard of organizations’ communication.

 Advancing with technologies is more important to manage more diverse people with ideas under this global context for their survival.

    You seemed to have tried to cover a lot of contents in one Blog which has effected the main area of discussion in your blog. As your Blog is about Globalization, Computerisation, HRM & Workforce diversity , it would have been appropriate to begin the blog with Globalization & end with Workforce diversity . Also, please be mindful of the spellings and Grammer which will enhance the quality of your blog.
