One of the main challenges for managers today is to efficiently master knowledge and keep it in the organizational memory. Knowledge has become a critical factor for organizations seeking to gain a competitive edge and stand out from the competition.
According to a January 2017 study by the Association of Information and Management (AIM), an average employee spends 7.5 hours of their work time each week searching for information, without finding it. On the other hand, the departure of an employee results in the loss of a large part of the organizational knowledge. Hence the importance of knowledge management to capitalize on organizational intangible capital.
1- HRIS is an essential driver in knowledge management
Knowledge management (KM) is considered a cornerstone in the information technology (IT) industry. Knowledge development and sharing are at the heart of information systems to ensure the fluidity of the organization’s activities.
KM and IT are strongly linked at a basic level. Indeed, for much of the last 50 years, IT was the traditional knowledge manager due to its complex technology and cumbersome implementation requirements. With the introduction of the SaaS (Software As A Service) model, many knowledge bases have become simpler to implement and use, reducing the time IT departments have to spend managing them.
With the digitization of HR processes, organizations have an easier time developing skills, facilitating access to organizational knowledge and improving communication between the various players. Modules such as LMS (Learning Management System), performance and objective management, development plans, etc., enable you to capitalize on individual and collective knowledge and experience.
Implementing a Human Resources Information System (HRIS) SYSTEM (HRIS) plays a vital role in knowledge management. It contributes to the development of a dynamic of innovation and organizational learning.
2- HRIS helps create a learning culture
Visit HRIS facilitates the centralization, generation, dissemination and secure storage of data and organizational knowledge, the cornerstones of knowledge management. Moreover, it alone cannot develop knowledge management. The HRIS must be properly aligned with HR policies aimed at creating and sharing knowledge within the company.
A report by Bersin in June 2018 revealed that among the 700+ organizations surveyed, the employee had just 24 minutes a week for formal learning. Creating an organizational climate conducive to learning thus requires the implementation of organizational practices that encourage employees to develop their curiosity and share with each other. Not surprisingly, organizations like Google, American Express and Bridgewater Associates have made learning an integral part of their talent management systems. For example, they have introduced a bonus for intellectual curiosity and creativity to reward continuous learning. An HRIS will therefore help to formalize these learning practices, so as to successfully anchor a learning culture. learning culture within the organization.
