HUMAN RESOURCE INFORMATION SYSTEM 2HRIS at QantasHuman Resource (HR) is an important component of every organization that contributes to its overall success. In order to continuously improve the processes that are part of HR, technology is increasingly being embraced. This gives rise to Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS) that are technologically driven. Qantas is the leading airline in Australia with more than 28,000 employees as of the year 2015. The airline undertook several HR changes in itsrecruitment and selection of staff and in managing its occupational health and safety. Qantas used a HRIS system from Taleo to manage its recruitment and selection of its flight engineers and RMSS Suite to manage its occupational health and safety.Background of QantasQantas was founded in 1920 by three aviation pioneers in Australia: Fergus McMaster, Hudson Fysh and Paul McGinness (Qantas Case Study, 2014). The airline started as a passenger and mail courier company within Australia and was later nationalized in 1974. The company wasoperating globally by 1999 and joined the global airline alliance, Oneworld in the same year. Thecompany experienced varying operational challenges from 2000 to 2010 and posted fairly weak earnings during this period. The airline currently offers the most comprehensive international and domestic coverage in Australia with over 70 international destinations. HR is important within the company and covers everyone from cleaners to the pilots.Current Use of Technology in HRQantas currently uses Cloud based talent acquisition human resource software provided by Taleo to manage its recruitment and selection process (Oracle, 2017).This replaced the earlier approach which was based on paper work. This system makes the recruitment and selection process smoother as well as directly accessing the labour market. Recruitment times have been

The Oracle Taleo Cloud service allows Qantas to manage the recruitment process with software that has richdata on talent management which is socially engaging. AHB (2012) states that this streamlines the resource allocation for the process and cuts down costs associated with hiring.The company engaged Risk Management and Safety Systems (RMSS) to develop an enterprise safety management system (RMSS, 2014). This system covered the components covering safety such as occupational health. The new technology based system replaced the manual paper based system which was cumbersome. The earlier system used Microsoft spreadsheets databases based on Access. This format was unintuitive and complex, expensive to track and not easily accounted for. The new system was customized to fit in-house specificationsand reduced identified hazards from 300 to 20. The new technology availed more data once operational and has reduced the injuries that were occurring at Qantas.Future ApplicationFehling (2014), states that the future application of the current technology systems of HRIS will be Cloud and App based and Software as a Service Applications (SaaS). This will result in a hybrid relation in employment that is agile and improve organizational performance (Sarina & Wright, 2015). The current trend will require greater use of Cloud services in order to make the system cost effective and easy to manage. Apps will be the main format of targeting potential employees through mobile devices. This will require leveraging on Social Media sites in order to post vacancies. SaaS applications such as LinkedIn will provide a rich data base from which the company can recruit professionals that require technical competencies such as engineers. Google Docs and Forms will also be increasingly important for the HR department in collecting and collating feedback from employees.
