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 evidencebased
recommendations to enhance organisational efficiency and employee engagement.
