HRIS

HRIS, or Human Resources information system is a piece of software that almost all HR teams are using to store and organise employee data.

It typically contains things like: employee personal information, job information, payroll, expenses, vacation, performance reviews and benefits.

Since all this information is stored in one place, it’s often used as a single source of truth for employee data, and reports are built based on the information stored in a HRIS. 

The HRIS helps internal teams improve their processes and stay organised. 

What’s the difference between an HRIS, HRMS (human resource management system), or HCM (human capital management system). In truth, these terms are often used interchangeably, but refer to the same kind of software described above.
