A Personal Philosophy and the Key Debate on HRAM & HRIS

HRAM and HRIS are critical tools in streamlining HR processes, enhancing organizational

efficiency, and driving strategic decision-making. I believe this technology should be embraced

as an integral part of Human capital management, from automating administrative tasks to

optimizing recruitment and selection processes, facilitating performance management, and

promoting data-driven decision-making.

Further, the most recent trend in HRIS technology is the integration of Artificial Intelligence, AI enabled voice, or audio analytics generated from worker interactions with machines and AI

systems, such as algorithms that assess code quality. These can offer valuable insights for

evaluating various aspects of business operations. Other immense potentials of AI and Machine

Learning are the automation of repetitive tasks, prediction of workforce needs, and data-driven

decision-making. These technologies can analyze vast employee data, provide patterns, and

generate actionable decision-making.

Additionally, prioritizing human outcomes is critical; for instance, moving past the industrial era.

mindset that led to the dehumanization of both work and workers, viewing the worker as a

number. The good news is that most leaders already understand that focusing on human

performance is critical to building an organization that can thrive today and tomorrow. However,

to close the gap between knowing and doing, they will need to let go of the mindsets, operating.

constructs, and proxies of the past.

In conclusion, the critical debate that has emerged throughout the transformation of the HRIS

system is the significant potential for misuse, for example, privacy breaches, AI-driven

surveillance, and efforts to control workers’ every move. Although common wisdom equates

greater transparency with greater trust, it’s not simple. Many organizations are finding that how

well they walk the tightrope between transparency and privacy is a critical factor in driving trust

today and that mishandling it can severely undermine trust.
