E - HRM: An Empirical Study of Private Sector Banks in Ambala

Abstract

Technological innovations have brought about radical changes that can streamline human resource functions, making them faster and more efficient. The integration of innovative approaches in human resource management has been facilitated with the advent of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). E-HRM implementation can contribute to the effective execution of HR activities. Electronic HRM has introduced several concepts such as automation, transparency, empowerment, and paperless affairs with minimal human intervention. As the competition in the banking sector is increasing and more focus is being given to cost-cutting operations, banks try to reduce the costs without reducing the efficiency of the work. e-recruitment, e-selection, e-training, e-compensation and other IT tools are widely in operation by the banks for their HR functions.  E-HRM enables employees, managers, and HRM professionals to access or retrieve the available information that will enable them to make agile and informed decisions concerning the management of the workforce. This paper seeks to describe the applied role of e-HRM to enhance HR performance in private banks in Ambala.
