HUMAN RESOURCE INFORMATION SYSTEMS AT NISSAN MOTORS

INTRO
Today human resource has become the main competitive advantage for a firm, making it a very
critical resource. More so than ever, there is a need for fulfilling all functions related to human
resource with strategic purpose and technology should be able to help in aligning them with the
firm's objectives. Human resource information systems (HRISs) are one such technological
innovation which can efficiently help in standardising such information about company's
employees.

HR SERVICES AT NISSAN
Nissan Motors, one of the top selling automobile manufacturers and the world’s first ever multi-brand
conglomerate after its collaboration with Renault, has over 130,000 people working for them worldwide.
This global corporation needed standardized HR practices in order to function successfully. The firm was
also concerned about the overall employee satisfaction.

HR COLLABORATION WITH IT SERVICES


In 2010, Nissan really needed to transform its HR department and the policies and modernise the
department. So it decided to collaborate with IT services, further known as Human resource information
systems (HRIS). Having an HRIS meant a strategic investment to reduce costs across the globe and
therefore, in 2010, CEO Carlos Ghosn introduced HRIS in Nissan, when Nissan was in troubled waters. His
aim was not only to automate the HR services but to transform HR services in the whole organization. He
implemented several plans to transform Nissan to take it out of financial disaster; one of the strategies was
to have a HRIS.

BENEFITS
Some of the immediate benefits of implementing HRIS were an effective way of sharing
information which was HR centric. Nissan had an employee intranet but it was not designed to
be employee friendly and most of the employees did not have access to it. This ensured that there
was a need for new technology with a dynamic employee portal, where all kind of HR related
information could be made available to employees 24/7. This would allow the employees to
access information they wanted themselves, creating a help yourself attitude. The new forum also
allowed employees to make changes in the HR related information or benefits relation
information about them instead of waiting to fill forms and HR personnel doing it. These
changes were approved by their reporting managers and reflected in their profile after required
approvals. The HRIS access has improved work life as it has helped employees obtain required
information faster as the transactions are faster. This has also helped HR people as duplicate entry
work and non-value adding tasks have been removed from their repertoire
NISSAN’S HRIS PARTNERS
An expert advice always ensures smoother delivery and good work. Hence, an HRIS specialist, if
hired, can give better results. HRIS professionals know the finer details and can give guidelines
to the organization based on their previous experience.
Nissan partnered with Enwisen to develop its world class HR Shared Serviced Center in 2007.
Enwisen was to provide them support for communication, decision support and case
management along with direct employee access portal. The expectation was to ensure that
employees got assistance with events like benefits services which could be accessed by
employees from anywhere and at anytime. Nissan also collaborated with PeopleSoft, a third
party technical business solutions provider, to design and implement the Nissan HRIS system.
PeopleSoft Enterprise included Human Resources, Base Benefits, Benefits Administration, ePay,
eProfile, eCompensation, eBenefits, eRecruit and eDevelopment solutions. This was expected to help the
employees get better access and clear information about their benefits plan, payroll and other HR
related information.
