building an appropriate HRIS—HRIS and Compliance with Government Laws and Outlines 

 HRIS and Compliance with Government Laws and Outlines 
For the first half of the quarter, we have been discussing how to build an appropriate HRIS. You can view these as the building blocks for a sustainable HRIS. In this week, we will now focus on HRIS and its responsibility to compliance with government laws and outlines. In the event of an audit from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), accurate records must be accessible and accurate. If not, the organization can face critical consequences from various governmental entities.
• Read the article “Updating HRIS to Meet New Company, Governmental and Technological Requirements”, located at http://www.comparehris.com/Updating-HRIS-to-Meet-New-Company,-Governmental-and-Technological-Requirements-/. Next, from the readings in your textbook and the article, state the purpose for government mandates. Give three (3) examples of penalties that organizations induce when they fail to comply with government mandates such as OSHA or EEO. What strategies can organizations put in place to prevent penalties from occurring in the first place?

regional disaster preparedness-Human Resource Management

 
1. I really enjoyed your post this week and found it very informative. Of the three approaches to regional preparedness, do you think one is better than the others, or do you think that they should be combined in order to be more efficient? I think that either document analysis or preparatory behavior are strong by themselves, and provide decent preparations in the event of a crisis, but if they were paired with the self-evaluation of emergency management professionals, it could really drive the effectiveness of responding to a regional disaster. Each area is different and has a variety of disasters, so I think that implementing more than one approach is beneficial. Is this feasible or would it be too time consuming?
2.  Thank you for sharing with us this week in the forum on regional disaster preparedness. You made some interesting observations about the difficulties faced in this area. I agree that most of the current efforts on disaster preparedness are geared toward local coordination and do not necessarily make it easy to coordinate regionally. This can be concerning when faced with regional disasters that rely on multiple agencies across jurisdictional boundaries to control. In terms of planning for these disasters, what are some things you believe a manager can do to ensure the least amount of coordination resistance when the real thing occurs? What steps might they be able to take, at any level, to foster a more cooperative trans-regional relationship and ability to communicate? Great post!
