Create a 10-slide PowerPoint presentation for the organization’s management team in which you analyze and compare three human resource information systems.
Familiarize yourself with the Guidelines for Effective PowerPoint Presentations [PPTX] to ensure your recommendations are clearly presented to the intended audience.
Based on FFH's organization and culture, conduct an online search for at least three human resource information systems (HRIS). Management has decided to select a more up-to-date and user-friendly HRIS that will allow for employee self-serve options. Employees would be able to check in and out of work online, review their benefits and payroll information, and make changes to things like the number of exemptions, beneficiaries, level of benefits selected, et cetera. Data tracking including sales figures, absenteeism, and performance evaluations would also be an additional benefit.
Using your own research, include the following in a PowerPoint presentation for your three HRIS recommendations to an organization’s management team:
Analyze human resource information systems for attributes that meet FFH's employee needs. How will globalization and cultural and inclusive practices be supported by each HRIS?
Develop a chart indicating the pros and cons for each HRIS. The chart should identify the three systems you selected, each website's URL, and supporting data. What analytical methods could be applied?
Assess how workplace privacy can be supported by the selected human resource information systems.
Articulate your HRIS recommendations. How do your recommendations support FFH's goals?
Explain the potential cost savings of selecting one of the HRIS recommendations. Indicate at least five ways an HRIS will streamline HR processes and save the organization money. These might include tracking training programs, onboarding processes, succession planning, etcetera.
Select a slide template appropriate for a professional presentation. Include the content of the slides as well as a supporting narrative in the notes. Do not over-build your slides; use them to support what you will be saying, which should appear in the notes of each slide.

- Support for Globalization & Inclusive Practices
(Speaker Notes): FFH requires an HRIS that empowers employees with self-service capabilities, provides robust data tracking, and supports our commitment to globalization and inclusivity.
(Slide 4: HRIS Analysis: Systems Overview)
- System 1: BambooHR
- URL: bamboohr.com
- Focus: User-friendly, comprehensive HR platform.
- Globalization/Inclusivity: Multi-language support, customizable fields for diversity data.
- System 2: Workday HCM
- URL: workday.com
- Focus: Enterprise-level HR, finance, and planning.
- Globalization/Inclusivity: Global talent management, diversity and inclusion reporting.
- System 3: Rippling
- URL: rippling.com
- Focus: Unified platform for HR, IT, and finance.
- Globalization/Inclusivity: Global payroll, compliance support, and inclusive benefit management.
(Speaker Notes): These three systems offer varying levels of functionality and are tailored to different organizational sizes and needs. BambooHR is known for its ease of use, Workday for its enterprise capabilities, and Rippling for its unified platform.
(Slide 5: Comparative Chart: Pros & Cons)
(Speaker Notes): This chart provides a concise overview of each system's strengths and weaknesses. We can apply methods like trend analysis, predictive analysis, and comparative benchmarking to the data these systems provide.
(Slide 6: Workplace Privacy & Security)
- All systems offer robust security measures (encryption, access controls).
- Compliance with data privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA).
- Role-based access to sensitive employee data.
- Audit trails for data access and changes.
(Speaker Notes): Ensuring workplace privacy is paramount. All three systems offer strong security features and compliance measures to protect employee data.
(Slide 7: HRIS Recommendations)
- Primary Recommendation: BambooHR
- Rationale: Balances user-friendliness, cost-effectiveness, and necessary features for FFH.
- Supports FFH's goals by:
- Improving employee self-service.

- Secondary Recommendation: Rippling
- If a unified platform is necessary, this is a strong choice.
(Speaker Notes): Based on our analysis, BambooHR is the best fit for FFH. It provides the necessary features without the complexity and cost of Workday. Rippling is also a viable option if a unified IT/HR platform is a must.
(Slide 8: Cost Savings & Streamlining)

- Improved Data Accuracy: Real-time data updates and self-service.
- Enhanced Reporting: Data-driven decision-making.
- Streamlined Onboarding: Efficient digital onboarding process.
- Improved Training Tracking: Centralized training records and compliance.

(Speaker Notes): Implementing an HRIS will lead to significant cost savings through automation, improved data accuracy, and streamlined processes.
(Slide 9: Implementation Plan)
- Phase 1: System Selection & Contract (1 month).
- Phase 2: Data Migration & Customization (2 months).
- Phase 3: Training & Pilot Testing (1 month).
