A new source for the information you need

Article Abstract:

Personal computer-based automated human resource management systems (HRMS) can help personnel managers in small-to-medium sized businesses handle their control responsibilities. Information from the HRMS can be readily retrieved and updated in such areas as: head counts, salary, performance, job categories, and requisitions. HRMS can also be used to examine special problems such as performance review schedules, employee burnout, and behavior patterns. The HRMS is a powerful planning vehicle, helping the manager evaluate staffing requirements, available and needed skills, and limitations or restrictions on employees. HRMS can also help the employer monitor its compliance with government equal opportunity and affirmative action regulations. Use of HRMS can save money for companies through productivity increases, improved hiring processes, reduced turnover, elimination of manualrecord-keeping, and increasingly timely and accurate information.

Wands, bar codes and desk-top computers track paperwork

Article Abstract:

New York City's Bellevue Hospital Center uses bar coding techniques and microcomputers to monitor inventories, patient movements, drug administration, and forms. The bar code system was developed with assistance from Intelus, a computer firm in Rockville, MD that markets the PaperFlo system. Bellevue's personnel department processes an estimated 24,000 forms annually. This processing has been streamlined by the bar coding automation techniques. The bar coding system cost Bellevue about $60,000 to install. Installation and training required only one week to complete. Each personnel form is given a bar code when processing begins. People processing these forms pass a wand over the bar code and make a minimal number of entries on the microcomputer network to register the form's receipt and processing at every stage of its processing path. Several planning and tracking benefits of the system are identified.

Curing personnel department "technemia": substitute computer techniques for obsolete systems and save money

Article Abstract:

Across the country, personnel departments are finding an increasing need for office technology and automated personnel methods, but lack the technical expertise to implement them. Many of these departments are using outdated, manual methods such as typewriters and calculators, and, at best, computer systems that became outdated years ago. However, state-of-the-art expertise can be obtained relatively cheaply through technology trade magazines, seminars, trade organizations and other personnel offices, and need not entail extensive time and training programs for employees.
