           As a conclusion, I have already made 3 different topic for this blog which are information and competitive advantages, human resource recruiting and staffing and lastly web based employee self  services. For topic information and competitive advantages , I get some knowledge about the useful competitive strategy that organization need to use in order to gain competitive advantages and technology important in this part.

          Next topic are human resource recruiting and staffing. There have a different between staffing and recruiting which are recruiting about how company make the advertisement in process to attract people that looking for the job while staffing recruit people to become as employee at the organization. Company using technology to advertise the job vacancy.

          Last topic are web based employee self services . I realized that this system quite familiar with aimsweb at UTM, so, this type of system not only use at organization, but also use at education institution.

Web Based Employee Self Services

           For this time entry, I would like to elaborate more about web based employee self services. Definition of employee self services  (ESS) is a combination of technology and organizational change that enables users to interact directly with their human resource data to inquire, review and act upon transactions in the workplace.

          Before there have web based employee self services in information system, every human resource professional in the organizations need to make manually and need to use a lot of sheet paper in order to record all the employees information that worked at the organizations. By having the web based employees self services in the system, it offer employee self service giving the entire workforce immediate access to critical information, helping to attract and retain the highest quality employees, and enabling more effective communication across the organization. As addition, when has the technology and internet, employees can update about their personal information anytime if there has any changes with their personal information.

          Web based employee self services are available and can be surf  by all employees and employers using the advanced internet and technology nowadays via company's intranet or portal, or through specialized kiosks, and may be confined to a company's private network.

                By developing web based employees self service, there have some of advantages and benefit towards the organizations which are :-

1)    Convenience

By using the web based employee self services, it make the work of human resource managers more easier when they want to update or keep the personal information about their employees such as about payroll, view the vacancy in the organization and so on. Then, its are convenience because employees and employers can easily access the web if there has the internet connection.

2)    Reduced human resource requirement

Before this, human resource managers need to get and accept the forms of  direct deposit that fill by the employees to get the pay check and adjust their deposit, but, after using the web ESS, employees can access the web to get their pay check and so on. So, human resource managers can use their work time by doing the other job that related to the organizations job.

          Lastly, one of  the disadvantages by using this web are can make the employees fell frustrated. This is because, not all employees are expert by using the computer and internet, so, it would make them left behind compare with the employees that expert using the web based employee self services.

Human Resource Recruiting and Staffing

          For this entry,  I will tell about the Human Resource Recruiting and Staffing. First of all, process of recruiting and staffing are example of process and work that important that must be done by all the organizations around the world. This to make sure that the organizations has their own employees and in their organizations, they has the skilled and knowledgeable employees.

          The definition of recruiting is the process by which a large number of prospective candidates are attracted by various methods to apply for the job. Besides that, staffing definitions is the process of determining human resource needs in an organization and securing sufficient quantities of qualities to fill those needs.

          Nowadays, by using the Human Resource Information system, in process of recruiting, there has a of system or information that could be used such as e-recruitment .That can be uses by the organizations in order to get the right and talented people that looking for the job vacancy. The other hand, by using the internet or online system in making the advertisement about job vacancy, organizations can cut and save their budget because they no need to make an advertisement at newspaper or other electronic media. Then, by using the internet, people can sent their CV just via internet, so they can save their time from need to sent their CV to the organizations manually. Online recruitment also give organizations chance to make a choice in recruit the best employees because organizations could get the biggest number of audience by using this system.

          Example of web that people can look out for looking the job are Job Malaysia, Job Street, my star job and so on.

          Other than that, employers can be used the staffing system in their organizations in order to manage their employees data and so on. Benefit by using this staffing system are can help Human Resource professional to sent or report about staffing level in the organizations to their senior management.

          But, by using the online system in recruiting, there still have some of advantages like there has too many candidate that apply for the job, organizations need to make few process in order to get a right employees for the organizations. Then, using online, it reduce the face to face contact because employer can make an interview session even though the candidate not in front of them. 

          In conclusion, organizations need to use suitable system in recruiting and staffing to develop advance organizations.
