Technology is evolving more and more every day, making it nearly impossible to be employed without at least some knowledge of technology such as cell phones, computers, and the internet. As a result of the consistent increase in technology, human resource management (HRM) is evolving into a technology based function in many organizations. Several HRM services have been made available through the use of technology, changing the face of HR from a person to a portal. The practice of human resource management has drastically changed as companies provide universal access to HR services through technology and web based applications. The term E-HR refers to the use of web-based technology for human resource service delivery (Johnson, 2011). …show more content…
Waffle House’s portal (Ops Express) serves as an intranet resource to all employees, in which the page’s functionality depends on the type of employee accessing it.

Waffle House requires its unit managers to have cell phones in order to call in their sales numbers to their district manager every day. The company also requires the managers to have internet access so that they can access metrics reports as they are uploaded to the portal; this allows managers to be aware of their performance by the day. Managers are also paid a monthly bonus based off of their performance so they are able to access what bonuses they should be expecting as well. The district, division, and area managers have access to these reports as well; however they can also access performance management documents and disciplinary forms (Waffle House Info Portal, 2010). Improvements to improve the employee productivity technology would be to have all company metrics reports to show the employees’ production benchmarked against the other unit managers across the company. This way the employees know the expectations and could reach out to the top performing managers for tips and best practices. T

Macys is a department store that was established in the late 1800’s. Macy’s has over 700 stores and over 150,000 employees in the U.S, Puerto Rico and Dubai. Because Macy’s has an enormous amount of employees, it is important that they have a solid Human Resource Information System to manage all of their employees. Joe talked about their system which is an employee portal that has all of the data for each employee. This system provides employees with information on their scheduling, pay stubs, compensation, training, time off and many other functions that HR is responsible for. This type of employee portal would be considered an Enterprise Resource Planning application. This system is web based and also linked to each register in the store. This system takes information from the register and stores the data in the portal and allows Joe’s HR unit to be more productive. Now that the HR staff doesn’t have to worry about some of the transactional tasked associated with HR, they can be more involved in the strategic planning process. HR staff

Today’s economic technology revolution has changed Human Resource Management (HRM) and the view of HR as an expense and not as an inarguable part of the company (Gueutal & Stone, 2005). Gone are the days of old-economy brick-and-mortar firms. The growth of the internet has introduced web-based business-to-business transaction processes (Torres & Arias, 2005). Web based business transactions such as buying and selling via the internet, supply chain integration, and internal and external real-time information sharing have improved access to information as well as lowering transaction costs. These economic changes not only changed the way business is handled with other companies but also has driven the need of an intranet for internal integration within the organization (Torres & Arias, 2005) creating the need for Human Resource Information Systems.
