Planning the Needs of Other Organizations

Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) are databases used for keeping track of essential personnel data within organizations.

HR professionals will also have to stay abreast of any updates, changes or new technology to maintain their market competitiveness (Kavanagh & Thite, 2009, pp. 114-115).
