, Introduction
Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) are increasingly critical for organisations
seeking to integrate human resource management with technology to improve
efficiency, accuracy, and strategic decision-making. My assignment shows three South
African organisational scenarios Mzansi Mining, Ubuntu Solutions, and Sunrise Retail
highlighting the application and benefits of HRIS in diverse contexts. The analysis
focuses on change management, system design considerations, and the importance of
needs analysis. In the high-risk environment of mining, understanding how employees
adopt new technology is essential for compliance and safety. At Ubuntu Solutions,
aligning performance management processes with organisational objectives requires
clear comprehension of both data and process views. For Sunrise Retail, conducting a
needs analysis ensures that the HRIS is appropriately selected, cost-effective, and
tailored to workforce scheduling and payroll accuracy. As well as the critical evaluation
relevant models, design frameworks, and practical HRIS applications, offering evidence-
based recommendations to enhance organisational efficiency and employee
engagement.
