An experienced HR professional with a diverse background in human resources management, Chandra "Chandi" Krohl has held leadership positions in various companies throughout her 25-year career. Chandi Krohl also has extensive experience driving organizational change and managing a human resource information system (HRIS).
HRIS is a digital tool that helps store, track, and manage data related to human resources operations that are relevant to employee management and organizational success. While HRIS doesn't have the gold standard features or exhibit custom-tailored functionalities, such as workflow automation and employee training, that vendor organizations and clients require, many HRIS feature database management, time and labor management, and benefits management functionalities.
Database management is the core offering of HRIS. This functionality helps store and manage personnel data effectively. These include emergency contact details, compensation information, performance review scores, and learning metrics. With effective database security and user access controls, authorized users can obtain information from the database anywhere and anytime.
Some HRIS with time and labor management functionalities keep employee logs for tracking employee activity and performance. Based on this information, managers can determine whether to approve leave requests, how much pay an employee deserves, and compensation for punctuality and dutifulness, among others.
Many HRIS also offer benefits management functionalities such as retirement investments, medical benefits, query processing, and feedback processing. This improves recruitment success and transparency, which consequently enhances employee satisfaction.
