Technology has changed many aspects of human resource management. The staffing function of HR has been almost completely computerized. Resumes are now scanned by computers, interview schedules and results are tracked electronically, and pre-employment testing can be administered electronically.
Employee records management is now performed using HRIS (human resource information systems) that are computerized. All employee information from training records to performance evaluations can be stored in these systems and retrieved through canned or custom reporting.
Compensation and benefits management has been revolutionized by technology. Employees can now be paid by direct deposit, pay and benefit information is tracked electronically, and payroll can be processed more quickly.
Training has changed with technology as many training programs are now computer-based. Computers can store training information and the results of tests, quizzes, and certification exams.
