=== Human resources information systems ===
HR professionals generally handle large amounts of [[Document|paperwork]] on a daily basis, ranging from department transfer requests to confidential employee [[IRS tax forms|tax forms]]. Forms must be on file for a considerable period of time. The use of [[Human resource management system|human resources information systems]] (HRIS) has made it possible for companies to store and retrieve files in an electronic format for people within the organization to access when needed, thereby eliminating the need for physical files and freeing up space within the office. HRIS also allows for information to be accessed in a timelier manner; files can be accessible within seconds.<ref>1. Johnson, R. D., & Guetal, H. G. (2012). Transforming HR Through Technology.

Human resource analytics can improve human resource management.<ref name="p177">{{cite journal | last1=Angrave | first1=David | last2=Charlwood | first2=Andy | last3=Kirkpatrick | first3=Ian | last4=Lawrence | first4=Mark | last5=Stuart | first5=Mark | title=HR and analytics: why HR is set to fail the big data challenge | journal=Human Resource Management Journal | volume=26 | issue=1 | date=2016 | issn=0954-5395 | doi=10.1111/1748-8583.12090 | pages=1–11| url=https://figshare.com/articles/journal_contribution/9505202 }}</ref>
