INTRODUCTION
Human Resource Planning is concerned with the controlled utilization of human resources to achieve pre-set objectives, both short-term and long-term. It has three main features: planning to meet the personnel needs of the business . development of employees to their full potential and control of all personnel policies and program . Human Resource Information System is a method by which an organization collects, maintains, analyses and reports information on people and jobs. The information contained in the HRIS serves as a guide to recruiters, trainers, career planners and other human resource specialists .

It is a system used to acquire, store, manipulate, analyse, retrieve and distribute information regarding an organization human resource . An HRIS is not simply computer hardware and associated HR related software .Although an HRIS includes hardware and software , it also includes people,form,policies,procedure and data . It applies to information needs at macro level as well as to the micro level. HRIS has 3 fundamental roles: Record keeping Reporting Decision making

HRIS-STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT
Primary Level The organization is interested in automating processing of routine information. Its focus is on data, storage, processing and information flows at operational level of organization. In HRIS it is called Electronic Data Processing (EDP) which facilitates data and files storage . Second Level The focus is shifted from Deplete to management information systems (MIS)level with more inquiry and report generation flexibility. This is intended for middle level managers to control operation, matching budgeter projection. Third Level The enterprise wide decision support systems is one such HRIS type that facilitates decisions at higher level in the organization. At this stage HRIS is more interactive and capable of developing decision models on many strategic issues .

OBJECTIVE OF HRIS
To provide accurate information about human resource and their functioning and relevant environmental factors. To provide timely information. Effective Planning and Policy Formulation HRIS provides support for future planning and also for policy formulations, both at micro and macro levels . Monitoring And Evaluation . HRIS facilitates monitoring of human resources demand and supply imbalances and evaluation of the policy and development and utilization of human resource. Providing Inputs to Strategic Decisions. Also HRIS helps to automate employee related information, cost minimization and faster response to employee related services.

NEED FOR HRIS

To store data & information for each individual employee for ready reference. To provide a basis for decision making . To supply data/returns to government & other public. It is time effective. Involves less costs & less chances of errors . Streamlining and enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of HR administrative function . Collecting appropriate data and converting to information and knowledge for improved timeliness and quality of decision making . Improving employee satisfaction by delivering HR services more quickly and accurately to them .

SIGNIFICANCE OR HRIS
The potential significance of HRIS are faster information processing, greater information accuracy, improved planning and program development, and enhanced employee communications .

The use of a HRIS would reduce HR costs by automating information and reducing the number of HR employees . Reduction in cost of stored data in HR .
More transparency in the system .

 By helping employees to control their own personal information; and by allowing managers to access relevant information and data, conducts analyses, make decisions, and communicate with others without consulting an HR professional .

More meaningful career planning &counseling at all levels . Better ability to respond to environmental changes .

BENEFITS OF HRIS
Benefit of HRIS is that enables the creation of an ITbased work place
The use of technology in human resources has increased dramatically and is now a vital aspect of many personnel related decisions such as collecting job information, recruitment, employee selection, training and performance management . HRIS, not only reduces process and administrative costs, but can speed up transaction processing, reduce information errors and improve the tracking and control of human resource actions . HRIS will become the mechanism for sharing information across the functional area of an organization and will be used in strategic decision making . Technology may be used for different purposes within particular HR functions- for recruitment and selection, performance evaluation, compensation and benefits, training and development, health and safety, employee relations and legal issues, retention and work life balance .

LIMITATIONS OF HRIS
Its effective application need large scale computer literacy among the employees responsible for maintaining HRIS. Absence of continuous up-dating of HRIS makes the information stale .

TYPES OF HRIS:
OPERATIONAL HRIS: Operational human resource information systems provide the manager with data to support routine and repetitive human resource decisions. Several operational-level information systems collect and report human resource data. These systems include information about the organization's positions and employees and about governmental regulations . TACTICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM Tactical information systems provide managers with support for decisions that emphasize the allocation of resources. Within the human resource management area, these decisions include recruitment decisions; job analysis and training and development decisions, and employee compensation plan decisions . SPECIALIZED HUMAN RESOURCE INFORMATION SYSTEMS SOFTWARE : A great deal of software has been specifically designed for the human resource function. This software is available for all types and sizes of computers, including microcomputers. Software specifically designed for the human resource management.

HUMAN RESOURCE INFORMATION AT MACRO LEVEL

The Data base required for purposes of making forecasts of manpower at the macro level is indicated on the next page .

Performance Appraisal Module performance appraisal at each job held job experience evaluated in the light of job description communication rating of interpersonal relationships ratings of behaviors in a group commitment to corporate goals, etc.

CLASSIFICATION OF HRIS
According to Longneck-Hall and Moritz (2003), HIRS has developed through three major forms.

DIFFERENT MODELS FOR HRIS :

Haines and Petit (1997) Model Haines and Petit model is specifically identifying two measures, user satisfaction and system usage. According to Haines and Petit, user satisfaction and system usage together provide a more complete picture of system success than if either measure was used . The first is based on attitudes and beliefs whereas the second is based on behaviors. Haines and Petit drive their research propositions from a relatively simple but inclusive model that is comprised of three sets of independent variables i.e. individual/ task (age, gender, education, task characteristics, work experience, computer experience, computer understanding) organizational (Size, user support, computer experience) and system (User involvement , training support , documentation, applications development, dependence, on-line , access, number of applications, case of use , usefulness) and two dependent variables (i.e. user information satisfaction and system usage). Erik Beulen(2009) used Haines and Petit model

WATSON- WYATT, MODEL (2002)

HRIS progression is measured by three variables : (1) access: the combined percentage of employees who use the organizations HRIS delivery channels, such as e-mail, voicemail, interactive voice response (IVR), video relay system (VRS), Internet, Intranet, and HR service centres ; (2) applications : the number of HR related services available on the organizations HRIS delivery channels; and (3) concentration : the extent to which access is focused on particular delivery channels. HRIS effectiveness is measured with two variables : 1) HR efficiency: a combined measure of cost efficiency (HR operating budget as a percentage of total company revenue) and staffing efficiency (the number of HR staff relative to the total number of company employees); and (2) satisfaction: a combined measure of employee and manager satisfaction with HR services in organization where these levels are formally reported. In addition to these HRIS progression and performance measures, Watson Wyatt suggested use of information about the organizations HRIS strategy, business case, performance metrics and practices.

 In conclusion. Watson -Wyatt reports that more HRIS progression does not necessarily result in better HR performance. The survey conducted suggest that implementation effectiveness may be a necessary but not sufficient condition for HRIS effectiveness, a distinction made by researchers who have studies the implementation of manufacturing resource planning (MRP) systems. Instead, other variables are likely to play an important role in the relation between progression and effectiveness. While the Watson- Wyatt model offers a point in departure for researcher, clearly more work is needed in developing a causal model of HRIS effectiveness.

INFORMATION BASED MODEL:

Ostermann et al. (2009) adopt a holistic and integrative perspective where current empirical evidence as well as guiding principles of process management and strategy implementation is integrated into overall information- based model of benchmarking HRIS functionalities. In this perspective, along with the development of more complex HR practices and the upsurge of companywide HR portals based on Web technologies. HRIS is regarded as a key factor for providing a competitive advantages for an organization in todays ever-changing, fast paced, global business environment (Beckers et al. 2002 p 41) The information based model integrates the HRIS performance drivers (environment maturity, back office / requirements, front office impact) as well as its fundamental tasks into a systematic model (Puxty, 1993) representing a holistic approach to monitor an HRIS functionality. This approach serves as framework for HRIS benchmarking based on the integrity of generated HR information in terms of its supports to specific business functions.

CONCLUSION
HR function may shift its focus to networks of people as well as networks of computers. Social networks consisting of employee groups within an organization as well as outside of the firm will provide the synergy that combines human capital ( knowledge, skills and abilities of an organizations workforce) with social capital ( trust, mutual understanding, and shared values and behaviors that bind people together and make cooperative action possible).

The HR function can facilitate the accumulation of social capital by encouraging, nurturing, and supporting communities of practice that function in ways to enhance organizational effectiveness. Finally, the HR function can play a more active role as knowledge facilitator. Now, largely the domain of information technology specialist, the HR function can help organizations design systems that employees will use and facilitate the Human resource professionals with knowledges and skills in both HR and information technology will be uniquely positioned to make the HR function as value adding contributor to their organizations.
