Describe the distinction between eHRM and HRIS.
What will be an ideal response?
eHRM reflects a philosophy for the delivery of HR, using information technology, particularly the Web, as the central component of delivering efficient and effective HR services. Conversely, as conceptualized in this book, an HRIS is the technology and processes underlying this new way of conducting human resource management.
Another way of looking at the differences between eHRM and HRIS is that eHRM tends to be more application and/or HR function focused (e.g., e-recruitment and e-training), and an HRIS is more focused on the systems and technology underlying the design and acquisition of systems supporting the move to eHRM.
