Talking numbers?

IIPM PUBLICATION

“HR tries to make things sexy around... But it’s about cold, hard facts and numbers,” opines Sanjay Muthal, VP (HR) of Nicolas Piramal. So, as the pressure to talk numbers and justify HR costs has been increasing, HRIS has come as a saviour to aid the HR executive and create more visibility towards the HR function.

And today, thankfully, there’s a sea change in the attitude of the non-HR executives as organisations are realizing the value of human capital and the role of employee development processes within the organisation. Chief executives are more than willing to invest in their people, but then, he also wants to have a detailed account of how the investment is being spent, and interested in knowing, how it’ll return him profits. Therefore, in presenting to the CEO and the directors of a company, the benefits of various expenditures made by HR function, an HRIS is only helpful in displaying a clear inkage between the organizational and HR objectives.

There’s more to it, though! Narendra Puppala, VP-HR, Biralsoft points out “The implementation of an HRMS frees up ample amount of time for the HR executives from routine work, which can be ultilised effectively on other important activities so that the function can be more strategic in approach and proactive.”
