CONCLUSION

ASSALAMUALAIKUM =)

ALHAMDULILLAH. Today is the last day to compose my writing on the blog to the subject of HRIS. I feel very grateful to be able to complete the tasks given and entrusted this. Today, I will write about the conclusion of the last three titles this subject (RECRUITMENT, PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM’S)

From RECRUITMENT, PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM’S title, I get much information whether from my lecturer (Dr. Nur Naha), from journal, internet and book. The topics that I have learned are very important to me when I was working because it will help my job.

In this modern era, the organization is concerned about the quality of their employees. They will ensure that their employee’s especially new employees have a good quality and have the potential to be developed. The management will try to improve their skills and competencies of their employees so that the employees can help improve productivity and increase profits.

The use of modern systems will help the management to manage their employees. Information about the employee's performance is very easy to come by and collected and ease of management to see the potential of their employees. To employees who have problems and weak, they will be assisted and given training so as not to affect the productivity of the organization.

So, it is observed that the title I've learned is very closely related to each other. Organizations will find and recruit new employees they see suitable. Every employee, whether a new employee or an old employee will be given appropriate training, the skills, weaknesses and work. Technical training will be provided in accordance with current conditions. For example, using the internet and video to provide training and control employees. This is the modern method and can save you time.

I will keep what I have learned will benefit me in the future and I will be using when it worked. The systems I've learned have benefits and potential to help improve the efficiency of organizations in Malaysia. I hope that I can use the knowledge I've learned is to increase the quality and potential of young workers in Malaysia and help the country to become an industrialized country in the world.

TOPIC 6: LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT SYSTEMS

ASSALAMUALAIKUM =)

Today, I will post about LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT SYSTEMS. According to Armstrong, learning refers to the systematic development of the knowledge, skills and attitudes required by an individual to perform adequately a given task or job.

The employee development represents that learning experience in order to improve performance but it should be aware that learning is not necessarily bring improvement in performance (Stammers and Partrick, 1975).

Learning and development systems are important to the workers to improve their skills, knowledge and competence. The management will ensure the performance and potential of their employees will increase and can contribute something positive to the organization.

The purposes of learning and development systems are to improve and correct an employee’s performance and the organizations itself. Besides, the purposes are to ensure the employees can keep on competitiveness and will perform in their work and also to help the employee manage their stress due to work overload. In training programs, the programs that to increase the employees knowledge, skill and attitudes towards their current work. About development programs, the program is conducting in order to preparing the employees with their future work.

Component in learning and development systems are

1.      Employee personal information.

2.      Performance before training.

3.      Training course.

4.      Training transfer.

5.      Program evaluation (can use Hamblin model, Kirkpatrick model, CIPP model or CIRO model)

So, can we see learning and development systems are about systems is a system that helps employees to improve the quality and performance of their work in accordance with the objectives and requirements of the organization. For example, employers provide training to employees via video and the internet. This allows the employer to control all of his employees who undergo training and be able to save time and cost.

Another example in the HSBC bank, there is a human resources training and development, where it becomes a catalyst for staff to achieve the objectives of HSBC bank to improve the quality of work and to be internationally known bank. Therefore, HSBC’s  front liner sponsoring staff to get training to develop the level of trust of customers to the bank. This is because HSBC believes that the services offered to their customers will have an impact on their clients. Therefore, HSBC front liner trains staff to be the trusted financial advisor to HSBC customers loyal.

As the conclusion, learning and development systems can help in the learning process to receive information. This system will help employees to increase their potential and at the same time increase productivity. The system provides many benefits to the organization and its employees.

TOPIC 5: PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

Assalamualaikum.

Hi everyone! Today, my topics are PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (PMS). According by Neely et al. (1995) performance management system (PMS) defined as “a set of metrics used to quantify both the efficiency and effectiveness of actions”. PMS is a process to enables organization to plan, measure and control their performance to achieve desired results (Bento and Bento, 2006). By other researcher’s definition, PMSs are a means of executing organizational strategy by signaling to employees what is really important in the organization, fixing accountability for behavior and results, and helping to improve performance (Biron et al., 2011; Bae, 2006).

In my opinion, PMS is a system used by the organization to make the process of assessing, planning, and monitoring the performance of employees and management to ensure the efficiency of their target or achieve the results they want. They will assess the current performance of employees and management whether increase, decrease or consistent.

            PMS can be defined as a systematic process which organization involves their employees to improve the effectiveness of the organization by focusing the employees to achieve the organization plan such as mission, vision, objectives and strategic goals.

Advantages of PMS’s are to motivate employees to improve their performance and achieve organizational goals. By using PMS, organizations can increase profits because employee’s performance is always effective and less mistakes. In addition, creating healthy competition among employees in the organization and the quality of work done is good and satisfied employees.

But, for me this system also has the disadvantage namely increased turnover. When I look, if the process is not seen as fair, the employees may become upset and leave the organization. That means, they can leave physically (quit) or with draw psychologically such as minimize their effort until they are able to find a job elsewhere.  Other than that, this system wasted time and money because these resources are wasted when systems are poorly designed and implemented.  In addition, this system also unclear ratings system because of poor communication, employees may not know how their ratings are generated and how the ratings are translated into rewards.

As the conclusion, performance management system can give benefits to organizations, managers and employees. Performance will be better workers and productivity will increase, thus reducing mistakes during work activities. Assessment of the labor can be done easily and the employee can show their skills and competencies at any time. Although this system has its disadvantages, but if improved and well manage, then the result is effective and successful.

TOPIC 4: RECRUITMENT

ASSALAMUALAIKUM
today I will explain about RECRUITMENT. According to Edwin B. Flippo, “Recruitment is the process of searching the candidates for employment and stimulating them to apply for jobs in the organization”. Recruitment is the activity that links the employers and the job seekers. A few definitions of recruitment are:

A process of finding and attracting capable applicants for employment. The process begins when new recruits are sought and ends when their applications are submitted. The result is a pool of applications from which new employees are selected. It is the process to discover sources of manpower to meet the requirement of staffing schedule and to employ effective measures for attracting that manpower in adequate numbers to facilitate effective selection of an efficient working force.

In my opinion, recruitment is the process of finding and selecting the right employees with the needs and requirements of the organization to meet the needs of employees in the company. Recruitment is important to get quality workers in terms of skills, knowledge and competence in the task. Organizations can find and hire employees from internal sources and external sources.

Internal sources refer to the present working force of a company. Management can use any method to recruit new employee in own organization like promotion, transfer, past employee, dependent and apprentice. The advantages of internal sources are employees are motivated to improve their performance, morale of the employee is increased, saves time and saves cost. Disadvantages of internal sources are the spirit of competition among the employees may be reduced, and the employees may become lethargic if they are sure of time bound promotions and reduce the overall productivity of an organization.

External sources refer to find new and fresh energy, skill, knowledge and competence from outsides. Management can use the method like direct recruitment, advertisements, employment agencies, labour contractors and educational institutions to get and find new employees. The advantages of external sources is qualified personnel, wider choice, fresh talent and competitive spirit and the disadvantages is lengthy process, costly, uncertain response and dissatisfaction among existing staff.

Conclusion is organization can find new employee from internal or external sources but depend their requirement. Organization must find right person with right skill, knowledge and ability to choose to be employees of the company.
