Day in and day out, the leaders within your human resources department have a lot on their plate.

Whether your company is a small startup or an enterprise-level organization, there's a long list of tasks that HR professionals need to stay on top of to ensure everything runs smoothly. Thankfully, there's software that can help take some of the stress away and streamline these tasks in the form of an HRIS.

Essentially, an HRIS is what human resources professionals use to organize and manage all of their people-related data. These HR systems can handle, automate, and streamline processes like:

1. Benefits administration and selections
2. Time off requests and balances
3. Employee job information, like pay rates, department, and reporting manager
4. Employee demographic information, like birthdate, contact information, and address
5. Complete integration with payroll

Having all of this information in one place makes it easy for the HR department to use it as a single source of truth when pulling data and making reports.
