WEB FOLIO 2 : CONCLUSION

CONCLUSION

           After I finish doing my reflective for the three topics that is Web Based Employee Learning and Development, Occupational Safety and Health and Compensation planning, I very-very satisfied because I can share what I understand about these topics. 

            For first topics, Web Based ELD, it shows the effectiveness and can help employee learn faster in using this web.  In addition, it very interactive learning and development to improving KSA for employee.

            Second topics is Web Based OSH.  It show that very important to every employer to take it serious in applying the OSH in organization to make the injuries cases decrease time to time and provide good and up to date safety and health regulation.

            Last topics is about Web Based Compensation and Planning.  It shows the sequencing system applying to attract, retain and motivate the employee to become good workers.

            HRIS help me more further thinking to make every part in the system web based that shows very systematic and productive.

WEB FOLIO 3 : WEB BASED COMPENSATION AND PLANNING

TOPIC 3:     

WEB BASED COMPENSATION AND                      PLANNING

           Hello everyone.  Today I want to share with all of u about my reflection in Web Based Compensation and planning.  Last week, my friends present in class about this topic.  When we talk about compensation, we will remember that it consists of three that is compensation in term of fixed compensation, variable compensation and stock compensation.  What it is??

            From my understanding, fixed compensation something are rewarded for KSA to perform job such as bonuses, pay wage, promotion, merit increase and so on.  This paid for employee for performing specific task responsibility.

          

            Second is variable compensation that is plus to the fixed part.  It given in term of accomplishment in certain goal and results.  For example commission, individual and group incentive plan, profit sharing plan, recognition award and so on.  In simple word, if we perform better, it will give more also.

            Lastly is stock.  What I understand. It give an opportunity to employee buy stock or product and it shows appreciation from organization to the employee.  Example of stock that I learn in class is restricted stock, stock grant, stock options and so on.

            Other than that, in web based compensation and planning, it used for eight applications that is payroll, salary surveys, salary planning, job evaluation, incentive plan, benefits management, relocation services and compensation consultant. I will explain between salary surveys and salary planning.   For your information, the different is when in salary surveys, it find and gain the information and the standard that required such as wages while in salary planning we planning the performance of workers to give more merit in good performance.  

            In simple word, this web based compensation and planning give the advantage in term increases the effectiveness of the accurate information.  The example all the information are save properly and it always up to date the information.  Other than that, I see the changes from using the evaluation form we determine the compensation given while now in web based compensation and planning, it record all the evaluation and others record that it related in giving compensation.  It shows very fairness and measurable. 

           

            I more thing, don’t confuse between compensation and benefits.  Because compensation earn income for work performed such as wages, salary.  But for benefits, it a benefits for cash and non-cash reward included wellness program, pension and others.

            I hope u all can understand from my simple explanation.  And in Hr scope, this system very familiar with the employee as well. The web based compensation and planning is the system to attract, retain and motivate employee to become good workers. When this topic combined with explanation and picture with system, it become more interesting.

WEB FOLIO 2 : WEB BASED OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH

TOPIC 2:    

WEB BASED OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH

                     

          Hello everyone.  Today, I will share with you all about my reflection in topic Web Based Occupational Safety and Health (OSH).  This is one of my favorite topics because before this, I have experience in visit NIOSH in KL.  NIOSH is one of the organizations that provided training for OSH.  For my understanding from presentation in class, in simple word what I can say is OSH are implement in organization because it help to reduce any injuries and build safety environment in workplace.  Other than that, it gives satisfaction to co-workers work in organization.  Because we as employee, we want to work in good and safe environment to perform our work.

            From the presentation and explanation Dr Roya in class, what I understand is when we related with web based and OSH, it divided into three that is employee, law and legislation and hazard.

            First is employee.  In web based OSH, part of employee consists personal information including previous or now information.  We just click the part of this employee in this software like example given from group presentation.  From that, we will see our records that are keep in the system.  This system very systematic and efficiency.

            Secondly, about hazard.  In my understanding, web based OSH in hazard means the system keep the data of all an accident happen in that organization.  So, the benefits it, the organization can easy revives the case hazard by improving the highest cases to become less cases happen again.  The employer will find an initiative like make training of OSH.  You know that, this software make to find information easier and faster.  I also see there have a graph that show this pattern of cases reported.

             Third is law and legislation.  I just remain two important things that are policy and OSH Act.  How it web based function? For policy, the system will tell what organization policy that already set it and the employee can see it and must follow the rules.  For example in OSH Act, is Sekyen 15 stated that every employer must make sure their organization in work safety and health conditions.  Every members of organization must understand what the policy of OSH that already set for each organization.  I also hope the employer must always to seek advice and consultation about updated OSH. 

            In addition, I want to share about the advantage and disadvantage about this web based OSH.  Definitely, this web based reduces the time and related accidents.  Because I see the system always update with data and we will easier and fast to find it while the disadvantage it are costing and the technical must expert to handle in this web based OSH. 

            In conclusion, my understanding become improves and I clearer to relate the OSH with web based.  This OSH very important to implement in every organization.

WEB FOLIO 2: WEB BASED EMPLOYEE LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT

TOPIC 1:    

WEB BASED EMPLOYEE LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT

Assalamualaikum… today my new post, is about Web Based Employee Learning and Development(ELD).  What do you understand? For me, learning is something permanent change in behavior through experience, instruction or study.  Learning is continues knowledge and it cannot be measured by anything. Key point to understand this development is it are proses in long term and it develop from others action such as make a practice, attain training, gain more knowledge and so on.  This development use to meet specific objectives or requirement.

Now, lets relate with employee learning and development in web based.  For your information,  this LED  expose to the employee using the web based for improve their KSA for current job and also future job.  The example training that give in improve learning is e-learning system.  For us example, we also have e-learning system that the system contact us with the lecturer by place to improve our learning such as we have to reflect our journal in e-learning, uploading notes also in e-learning and so on. This system also familiar with us just it have more verity from what I know now.   Others example is web based tool could be used as pre-work or follow-up for an in-person classroom course.  

This LED, help many in improving individual and organization in preparing their work for future by developing their self from the program using the web based.  Other than that, what I understand, it not only improves the KSA, but it also give an opportunity to whole organization in further search their potential and career.     

In addition, this web based LED can develop individual potential personally and its good because everyone have different potential in their self.  This learning also can have multi ways in deliver it, more creative, more flexible, interactive because we can insert pictures, variety of best method and so on. 

For the advantage. This web based LED can reduce our time, money but the result and outcomes very great.  This is because everything already prepared by the software, and we just have to updated and the work very sequence. Remember, as the organization, must make sure the system and the operation in the organization by develop learning and development have to match each other.

In conclusion, so many best practices can apply in this web based LED.  Other than that, it can give more faster result provided and the efficiency what employee get it very good and conducive rather than we use the traditional method. Other than that, it will help employee learn faster.

WEB FOLIO 2: INTRODUCTION

            

                                                           INTRODUCTION

          Assalamualaikum and hello everyone.  My name is Nurfatihah binti Mohd Naim.  Im very cute and chubby person and like to smile. I’m from Kluang Johor.  Now, I take the Bachelor of Science in Human Resource Development, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia.

            This is my second reflection blog.  For this time, we have to reflect our understanding in three topics that is Web Based Employee Learning and Development, Occupational Safety and Health and Compensation planning. 

            This three topics very interesting and it open my mind to explore in the system used in the human resource information.  I also want to thanks to Dr Roya and all my friends that explain me to understand this topics. 

            In simple word, every part in human resource are same just the different the ways it use it are by technology system that we call Web Based.  It very good software and we will save many things by use it. 

            I hope my second reflection journal can make me to more understand and more to search and learn the new things

CONCLUSION

After I finish doing my reflective, my understanding more increase and I also learn how to make a blog.  It’s very interesting in this subject.  We not only teach the theory, but we also practical it. 

For the first topic about HRIS Systems and Systems Architecture, it shows that every organization have their own model either standalone system, data warehouse model, single integrated system model and that are suit and match with the organization.

Second topic is about Information and Competitive Advantage.  This show that, we must always update with the changes and always think competitive in the positive way.  The goal that we target, that’s important.  Therefore, always improve it and become the learning process.

Lastly is human resource recruiting and staffing.  Nowadays, many ways to recruiting and staffing human resource.  Therefore, we must know how to choose and make it effective in run process. 

HRIS help many things and it make the operation become smoothly and efficiencies. I learn many things in this subject and I really like it.

TOPIC 3

HUMAN RESOURCE RECRUITING AND STAFFING

Hye everyone.. For me, this topic today, my favorites topic that is human resource recruiting and staffing.  This proses always happen in everywhere, but not every day in each organization. 

Recruitment is the searching and attracting of competence candidates to fill the position advertised (Rajkumar, 2004).  Its mean, this process what strategy that we want to attract the attention from others who find the job.  Nowadays, like DR Roya explain in the class, online recruitment are use for candidate to apply job and for employer who find the workers we see the online collection that utilized by organization to obtain information on the applicant to facilitate the process of selection. 

From my understanding in class, I can see that nowadays by using the traditional method, will waste the time, cost, paper and so on.  So, with this method, everything run smoothly and we can save the cost and the process more efficient also faster.  Other than that, when other group make the presentation in this topic, it open mine mind how easier technology nowadays, just use your fingers only.  Other than that, I also want to share the tips on recruiting respondents online.  First, through purchased lists, email recruitment, via hand phone, online server and so on.  Other than that, always keep in mind the criteria and the preferred demographic mix needed for the accurate interpretation of results.  

Staffing means the appointment of competent person to fill up the post in the organization (Singla, 2010).  There are chosen from the many people that are go to the next step.   There have some technique in staffing.  The adjustment and human resource itself have to forecast needs and make staffing adjustment.  This will help keep the business running smoothly despite a changing environment. 

In my view, technology can help many in this process staffing.  The traditional technique must change with the updated now.  It more efficiency, fast and professional.  Therefore, we must always adapt and try this way.

In conclusion, I really want to more explore, to see the updated now, for preparation in changing. I also very appreatiate that many new learn that I learn in class.

TOPIC 2

INFORMATION AND COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

Today, I want to write the review toward my reflective.  Our topic today is information and competitive advantage.  As Howard et al, (1999) believed if ISs design and strategy development are addressed simultaneously, Strategic competitive advantage can be gained (Howard et al, 1999). Porter’s model identifies the forces that influence competitive advantage in the marketplace.  

Let’s I explain about the model.  for substitute product and services means when our prices too high, substitute customers can purchase for example Internet music service.  Next is customers, how to attract  and retain the customers to stay our product. Thirdly is suppliers.  If the organization have more supplier, so the great control can exercise over the suppliers. Lastly is new entrants.  It shows new competitors entering the market.  The increase the new entrant, the increase consumer demand.

Now let’s see the role of information technology.  It the class, Dr said there have three role that is can substantially increase process efficiencies, improve communication and facilitates collaboration.

From my view, the role of technology very helping in our nowadays.  Rather than it very fast and effective, we can communicate fast although far or near.  Other than that, it also reflect the efficiencies of our business operation.

There have five competitive strategy:-

1)      Cost leadership: it help the supplier or customers to reduce cost, so that we can increase cost to the competitors.  But, the competitors will be more challenges.

2)      Differentiation strategy.: when we make the differentiation in firm’s product, so we already make a creativity in business.

3)      Innovation strategy: the company must always the product to make sure the product up to date with nowadays changes.

4)      Growth strategy: it  means, we always expend our market in term to increase market more big.

5)      Alliance strategy: it means we establish linkage and alliance with customers, supply, competitors, consultant and so on.  so, the strategy also include the mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, virtual companies and so on.

From my view, every day, we will faced new challenge, new competitors.  So, we must think forward and try to estimate the future chance to improve our self  by  others competitors.  It give our experience n to plan the strategic ways.

In addition from the class with Dr Roya, I more understand that Information And Competitive Advantage are related each other.  Other than that, the goals organization must achievable n it will reflect the efficiency, effectiveness and productivity.  And, how to know it efficiencies?? So, we can measure based output divided by input.  And, the feedback very important to see the changes to input, so next result will produce the best output.

Topic 1:

 HRIS Systems and Systems Architecture

Hello, today I want to share my experience in doing group assignment title HRIS Systems and Systems Architecture.  We been given 1 week to prepare it and present it in class.  We get the assignment at 1/10/2012 that in week 4 and present at 8/10/2012 in week 5.

Seriously, when I read the question, I cannot get any idea.  Then after searching between the group members, it gives the simple understanding from me to all of you.  The 3 types of HRIS system architecture is STANDALONE SYSTEM, DATA WAREHOUSE MODEL AND SINGLE INTEGRATED SYSTEM.

For Standalone System, it cannot be standardized.  Usually, it used by large organization.  This is because this organization well gathers in multinational data.  In addition, every branch must provide the data to the global data warehouse.  For the business, each business unit can update via fax, telephone and so on.  it also  make difficulties for each unit to data analysis.  From my view, because this system an independent system to communicate, it very hard to work n connect.   

Next, let’s see the Data Warehouse Model.  It also known as DW or DWH.  In this model, the benefits of this model is maintain data history, even if the source transaction systems do not.  Other than that, it provide a single common data model for all data interest.  So that, it can save cost and  sharing each other.  Normally, the data stored in the warehouse are uploaded from operational system such as marketing, sales and so on.  When we talk in term of international, this model is suitable because it match.  And the analysis that we use are also same.  Therefore, it easy to analyse.

The third is Single Integrated System Model.  This definition of an Integrated System is  identifies characteristics arranged in the broad categories of  Data Issues, Application Issues, Presentation Issues, and Operational Issues.  Normally, it located as the corporate headquarters.  In addition, this model more advance because it can sharing information. This model is more advances compare the others model. 

From that explanation, what can I says, if we want to related with transnational, the model are Single Integrated system model, while we talk the international, the model that suitable are data warehouse model.  In addition every organization have their own difference between their model that there are use to run the business.  The organization must choose the best and the most requirement that organization needed.  Sometimes, I confused to differentiate it more clearly.  But, I must take an initiative to further more explore and understand in this topic.

INTRODUCTION

What is HRIS? First time I entering the class, I not really understand about this subject.  I just can imagine it a related to the technology because have term ‘system’ in this subject.  Then, I try find in book, (Michael J. Kavanagh, 2011) said HRIS is sometimes referred to as human resource management systems (HRMS).  Human resource management (HRM) can be defined as the effective selection and utilization of employees to best achieve the goals and strategies of an organization, as well as the goals and needs of employees. 

I become more understand with more explanation from Dr Roya about it.  In addition, Dr give an example about this relationship.  Other than that, HRIS is a systematic procedure for collecting, storing, maintaining and so on.  This data that we needed by the organization about its human resource (Dessler, 2001).  From that it give me more idea about this subject.  What I can say, many company already use this HRIS in efficiency their organization.  This subject also open my mind with day to day the changes system very faster and good.

My reflective, I learn many new things from this subject in lecturer, in presentation, in case study and so on. For example, when we use this system in recruiting workers, it help we choose the best candidates  and the costing are lower.  Its good in our reality now, to reduce cost but increase effectiveness.  Other than that in apply job, from presentation Lam’s group, many online recruitment can we use.  We must always explore and learn it.  It just depend  on your self.  Therefore, it are one requirement to every organization.  If I are employer, I not afraid to invest more in this system.
