Abstract
Human Resource is a vital organ in any organization and has a hand in every day to day activities
of the organization. Human Resource Management is the process of recruiting, selecting, inducting
employees, providing orientation, training and development, appraising the performance of
employees, deciding compensation, motivating employees, maintaining proper relations with
employees within an organization. Therefore simply put, it would be quite tiresome to operate an
organization without having a Human Resource Team. In regards to the functions of a Human
resource team, you would find that majority of these tasks are done entirely by human effort that
is: going through job applications that have been provided, carrying out employee appraisals often,
receiving requests from employees to receive salary advances, leave days, solving internal disputes
etcetera. Having said that the tasks mentioned could seem to be tiresome and at times
overwhelming to Human resource persons especially those who do not necessarily have a large
Human Resource Department. What this tends to do, is result to a delay to employees requests
since they have to be dealt with one at a time and also in the rare occasion of loss of data it could
result to forgetting of a request or two by the human resource personnel. This problems could be
solved by the creation of an information system, specifically a mobile based information system.
What the system will do is act as a middle man between the Human Resource team and the
employees, whereby the application process of events such as salary advances, job applications
and leave applications could be done just by the click of a button or two on one’s mobile device.
What then in turn this will do is present this requests on the Human Resource Teams side on their
dashboard, whose main purpose is to always notify the team of requests and act as a remainder
since the main objective it to always leave the dashboard clear which means all employees have
been sorted. Additionally the system will go further and incorporate Artificial Intelligence that will
help filter job applications based on the criteria dictated by the HR team and secondly based on
the organizations KPIs, it will be able to predict employees performance ratings. Tools to be used
in the project development will include Java Programming language, MySQL database and
Android Studio. In conclusion the project will benefit an organization by providing a mechanism
to ease up the processes present between the employees and Human Resource and in the long run
support effective and efficient Human Resource Management.
