Please list three disadvantages of self-service portals for HR administration.
What will be an ideal response?
(Students can choose from the options below.)
• Permitting employees to access company data through Internet self-service portals may increase the possibility of security breaches and associated negative outcomes for affected employees, including identity theft.
• Moreover, employees are concerned that even having their data in company HRIS can lead to misuse of such information by others in the organization.
• HR administrators may find that unions and managers resist using the self-service portals. In particular, unions may argue that employees are “doing HR work” when they enter data and make changes online via ESS.
• Managers may also resent having to do work that previously was handled completely by HR staff, particularly when such work previously involved calling the staff rather than completing forms.
