Benefits and principles The major benefit offered by a computerized HR system is the ability to generate ready management reports necessary to support the Department’s HRM functions. These include manpower planning, performance management, recruitment and staff development and training. Without such a system, reports must be compiled and updated manually. This is a very labour intensive job and will take a great deal of time, wading through paper files with the persistent danger of human error requiring repeated checks. Without a central database there is a tendency to distribute the maintenance of such details as absence collation individually, usually in different formats. This results in duplication of efforts and may give rise to data inconsistency. Below are listed the Professional and Legal Requirements as quoted and referenced from GEE Human Resources information services. A quick overview of the Data protection act states that Personal data must be processed fairly and lawfully. Personal data must be obtained and used for specified and lawful purposes. Personal data must be adequate, relevant and not excessive. Personal data must be accurate and where necessary, kept up to date.
