Question: Provide an example you are familiar with of how a business functions (e.g., in the areas of sales, marketing, finance, operations/production, accounting, human resources).

This process is possible through the implementation of Human Resources Management System (HRMS). It is a software application, which is a combination of various types of HR functions, performance analysis, payroll, and training related to the HR process. It acts a collaboration of all the aforementioned components into single software. It acts a merger of the various types of the HR disciplines an integrating the same into the software system (Rodriguez, 2016). The implementation has been seen in application of this software in an international convenience store chain, which is able to manage the various types of in house job application process in the HR department. The applicants need to post the applications though online application process. The application process is done in the stores via kiosks, which are connected through the core human resource system located at the headquarters of the convenience store. The application process further involves the automation of the HR routine processes in the Enterprise Resource Planning system of the company. It has been further observed that the application processes of the clients are routed to the HR manager of the potential applicants. The entire application process is automatically routed to the designated HR for reviewing the job openings and the job descriptions and also reviews the rules and regulations which have been defined by the HR department The software has the potential to manage the leaves and the track the attendance of the employees.
