Digital HR examples

1. Human Resource Information System (HRIS)

One of the best-known instances of digital HR is the HRIS. Employee data is stored, gathered, processed, and managed via this system. It helps HR teams function more productively and make more informed decisions.

HRIS features typically include: 

  • Benefits administration 
  • Employee data management 
  • Employee self-service 
  • Payroll processing 
  • Reporting and analytics 
  • Time & attendance. 

Using an HRIS is particularly interesting for organizations of a certain size, starting with companies that have between 30 to 50 employees. 

Some of the biggest benefits of working with this kind of software include: 

  • Improved efficiency: The fact that all employee data is stored in one place saves time and increases accuracy. 
  • Better record-keeping: At its core, an HRIS is a record-keeping system. As such, it tracks all changes related to the organization’s employees and is considered the single source of truth for staff data.  
  • A better employee experience: The HRIS can offer self-service tools to managers and employees. This means that they are in charge of things like requesting leave or updating their information, which, in turn, positively affects the employee experience.   

You can think of the HRIS as the backbone of digital HR.
