1.Human resources professionals are upping their reliance on technology to manage safety and security information and functions. Workplace safety and security can benefit from technology by facilitating acquisition and analysis of injury and illness data, injury costs per employee, training documentation and management, performance management, electronic communications, digital access key log-in information, security camera data management and identity theft protection.
2.Biometrics devices that use fingerprints or other physical traits for identification can help solve some employee discipline problems and protect sensitive data. Time clocks are one of a growing number of workplace applications of biometrics.
3. Technology is helping in eliminating the need for travel and commuting in CISCO SERVICES,which reduces the cost of recruitment
4.During the last decade, the Internet has played a growing role in external recruiting. Large, all-purpose online job boards quickly found a place in recruitment. Meanwhile, niche sites catering to specific industries and demographic niches such as women and Asians won favor. Online corporate job sites and intranets have become key recruiting tools, allowing employers to get the word out about job openings quickly and inexpensively.
4.Employers also are using technology to market job openings more strategically. Many capitalize on emerging technology like RSS--real simple syndication--allowing online postings to reach job seekers via e-mail or text message as soon as a new job is posted. Others are enhancing traditional online listings with videos and podcasts.
5.Once an application comes in, many HR professionals tap desktop search engines such as Google to check backgrounds. A few employers check out workers' private blogs and entries they may have placed on social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace. Others sign up for help from computerized background screening services.
6.Once a new hire comes on board, many HR professionals are relying on electronic onboarding systems to handle tasks including assigning packing passes, computers, uniforms, e-mail addresses and security badges. Some employers--particularly those with a scattered workforce--are capitalizing on computerized learning systems for orientation and to deliver coaching on topics from sexual harassment avoidance to conflict resolution.
EXAMPLES
*In the USA, outsourcing of functions in hospitals not directly related to the work of doctors and nurses (care of patients) has substantially increased the productivity of the hospitals, and provided new opportunities for service employees.
*In 2010, knowledge and information-based activities contributed to almost half of the gross national product and employed 47% of the American workforce . One could postulate that those numbers have increased over the last 30 years. As information has become an increasingly important feature in the business world, new technologies have become available to facilitate its use and dissemination. This has led to an ever expanding and evolving field of information technology (IT).
*Technology is also playing a pivotal role in the controversy regarding illegal immigration. Tens of thousands of employers are voluntarily using e-Verify, an Internet-powered tool offered free by the Social Security Administration and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, to verify a match between employees' names, Social Security numbers and immigration information.
