Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As the organization is expected to grow and add employees over the next 4 years, it is best to acquire an HRIS system that can handle all of its functions and eliminate data redundancies. A comprehensive HRIS system will save time and effort, streamline workflows, improve data accuracy, and support the organization's growth plans. Additionally, it can help manage employee records, payroll, benefits, time and attendance, performance management, training, and compliance with employment laws and regulations. It may also be more cost-effective in the long run than purchasing separate subsystems. Engaging a consultant to prepare a request for proposal and review prospective vendors is a good idea, but ultimately the recommendation should be to purchase a comprehensive HRIS system.
