Learning about information system
has broadened my knowledge about technology. Information system is not about
connecting people all over the world but also can used in our daily life.
Technology aided the works and the tasks become more easy and achievable. Among
the three topics, I like the topic on web based safety and health more because
I would love to work in that area one fine day. Thus, by learning it in this
subject can helps me a lot if I work in that area. But, if I do not get to work
in OSH area, I will implement it in the position that I will be assigned later.
Overall, I enjoy learning in the class of Dr Roya Anvari because she was very
nice and kind to us. (130 words)

Blog 3 Web Based Compensation and Planning
The topic of compensation and
planning is interesting because it usually involves the process of compensation
data and information. Online compensation is the web based approach of
compensation tools that enable organization to gather, store, manipulate,
analyse, utilise and distribute compensation data and information. Whereas,
planning is a systematic approach to estimating the future needs of a company
in terms of labor and supply.
After understanding the main concept
of this topic, the web based compensation is the process that using technology
as a means to manage it. Usually compensation is related with the monetary and
rewards, thus, managing it might be difficult and hard since everyone wanted
the rewards. With using web based tools, managing the process will become
easier.
There are two components in
compensation, first is the fixed compensation and second is the variable
compensation. Under fixed compensation are bonuses, pay wage, merit pay and
equity adjustments. Meanwhile, under the variable components are individual
incentives plan, group incentives plan, profit sharing plan and productivity
gain sharing programs. Online compensation may be beneficial in terms of
streamlining the administration of employee’s compensation and benefits.
Process to streamline the administration will become easier since the
technology helps a lot. Other than that, it improves the effectiveness either
by in terms of the accuracy of information or by using the technology to
simplify the process. The information entered may went wrong and does not align
with the real information, so using the online can fixed the information and
detect where is the part that going wrong. Manager also can access to the
information that they wanted and does not have to go through the third party. The
record of the compensation can be referred if there has any problems that arise
in the future.
In my opinion, e-planning is the
process to estimating the future needs of the organization. Every organization
must have planning for the whole year in order to make sure that the journey of
the organization runs smoothly. Thus, the planning should be planned thoroughly
so that the plan will be execute according to the plan. Employees play
important roles in executing the plan because they are the main element of the
organization. Without employees, the organization may decrease in productivity
due to the absence of the employees.
Online compensation and planning is
actually made the process in the organization become easier. I have learnt new
things and I was satisfied because I know the new knowledge in the information
system. (414 words)
Blog 2 Web Based Occupational Safety and Health
The day I learnt about occupational
safety and health (OSH), I realize about the importance of technology in OSH.
Safety and health area is a wide area, thus acquire a thorough observation from
the management in the organization. Technology made the process become faster
and the quantity of accidents can be decreased.
One of the web based OSH function is
as a safety and health training records for the organization. Every employee
must be obliged to go training for safety and health. This is to prepare
themselves and having knowledge about safety at the workplace. The record must
be kept in the system established by the organization to ensure the attendance
of employees to the training. Moreover, it can be reference for management to send
again the employees to learn about the other OSH courses. Other than that, the
training records can be used when an employee is having an accident. The record
can be checked whether the employee had already known how to handle the
situation that may avoid accident from happen.
Besides that, the web based can be
used as the accident reporting and record keeping. When there has accidents
happen in the plant or industrial area, the employee must report the accidents
to the top management. Every employee is obliged to fill the annual form
regarding all the reportable work-related injuries and illnesses. This form will be filled in every year by all
the workers. The use of that form is to displays total injuries and illnesses
for the year either they having injuries or not. Moreover, actions can be taken
suitable with the accidents that were recorded. This is to determine the
suitable treatment with the injuries having by the employees.
The third function is for workers’
compensation claims. When employees were having accidents, of course they
wanted to claim the compensation from the organization if the accident was from
the workplace. So, to avoid from the employees to cheat the management, they
must fill the forms of accidents. Thus, the amount of compensation is given
suitable with the degree of the injuries. This is same when employees want to
claim for external insurance, the records keeping can confirm the accidents
because the records cannot be cheated.
I think that the web based OSH has
really helping the organization in handling the safety and health at the
workplace. I was so satisfied at the end of the class because I have gain new
knowledge on the web based. (412 words)
Blog 1 Web Based Employees Learning and Development
When I learnt about learning, I must
think about the concept of changing behaviour because when we learn, the result
of the learning process is the change of behaviour. Learning and development
can be the stage for organization to ensure the long competitiveness,
excellence, quality, flexibility and adaptability.
Training is essential for
organization to increase the productivity of the organization. This is because
it helps the employees to develop themselves not only will bring to the
individual performance but also the organization performance. Nowadays,
technology is important in human’s life. With that, the existence of Employee
Learning and Development system is needed for all the employees worldwide.
One of LED function is to foster
employee motivation and satisfaction. When these two elements were fulfilled,
the productivity of the organization will increase. Online learning will aided
them to learn and choose the courses that they wanted. Online learning can be
accessed at anywhere and anytime. The internet facilitates the divergence of
the learning through the World Wide Web since it was using by worldwide. Other
than that, LED function is also to help the employee manage their stress due to
work overload. When employees receive training, they must have learnt on how to
manage their time and tasks so that it can be completed in the time allocated.
This can help employees from having stress due to the workload. Learning can
also ensure the employees can keep on competitiveness and will perform in their
work. After undergo training, employees will gain knowledge and improve skills
in their expertise area, so they can perform their work for their organization.
People nowadays will refer the training as learning because they feel that when
they were sent for the training, it means that whether they were not good or
they were punished. It makes them feel bad, thus, management will call it as
learning instead of training.
Besides that, LED program is a
saving course because it can save the money and time to learn from it. Before
this, the learning process required to send many peoples which involve lot of
money, time and energy. But, with this e-learning, the cost can be reduces and
the time can be shorten. The employees also will take responsibility on their
own learning because it will build self-confidence of them.
I always think that e-learning
facilitates my work and schedule because all the information was gathered all
in one system. Even though e-learning has disadvantages but still it has
advantages in helping learners become more expert and knowledgeable.
