Web Based Occupational, Safety and Health.

According to (Angle, 2005) occupational, safety and health in the workplace is certainly not a new concept, in fact the history can be traced back hundreds of years. From my understanding on this topic, web based occupational, safety and health is about the protecting the safety, health and welfare of people engaged in work or employment. I also understood that OSH is to foster a safe and healthy in term of work environment also to decrease the injuries and accidents in the workplace.  The function of web based OSH is the workers’ compensation claims, accident reporting and record keeping and the safety and health training records. The web based will make the function of the OSH become easier.

After the presentation, I also know about how to implement OSH via web based. First is assess the organization’s safety needs and then communicate your new policies and programs to your workers. Third, is institute regular safety meeting to refresh your employees’ understanding of OSHA standards and company policy.  Next is creating the necessary safety programs for organization and ensure adequate training for your managers and supervisors. Lastly is integrating safety standards information into new employee orientation. According to (Darbyshire, 2005) e-learning was seen as the solution, so the company began purchasing computer based safety and health system.

I also covered and understood about the advantages if the company using the web based OSH in their organization. From my understanding, first advantage is can reduce work related accident. This is because if the organization using web based, they will collect the data using computer. So, if they want to refer back about the data, they only have to access the organization web. Secondly it also can increase operational efficiencies. This is because the data keeping and their work will be done systematically. It also can reduce the time. This is because they only have to key-in the data in the internet and then they only have to access the record if they need it. The last advantages of web based OSH can increase workers retention and satisfaction. This is because if the organization using web based OSH it will give the satisfaction to them through the service they get. There also have the disadvantages of the web based OSH. First is the high potential of losing the data. This is because if the organization using the web based

WEB BASED COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS PLANNING

We also already cover about the web based compensation and benefits planning. According to (Bidgoll, 2004) compensation has been defined as all direct or indirect payments to individuals. In this topic the information that we got is this web based is used for organization for pension, insurance, payroll and so on. From this topic, I also discovered about the components of online compensation systems that can divided into two; fixed compensation such as merit, promotion specific KSA that employees need to perform a job and variable compensation which is including the bonuses, commissions, performance shares and variable merit. According to the (Susan E. Jackson, 2012) merit pay are lies on employees’ yearly rises. For the online benefit system, their components is for pension plan, workers’ compensation, insurance, medical and health benefits and paid time off.

There are also have the changes of using the web based in the compensation and benefits planning from the old version. The changes that I can list are real-time monitoring. If the organization using the web based related, it will helps the managers easily to visualizing the whole progress. Second is dashboard view. This can be helps because they can see the overall budget and target with entering the values guidelines in quick reference table. Third is easy to use excess control planning worksheet through viewing into the visual compensation data, improve budgeting, and reduce errors. Next is own unique set of guidelines for allocation. This can be beneficial because it not only in base pay decision but also in numerous variable and pay incentive components. Lastly is the web based is provides online access to and secure storage.

From the presentation also, I can state the advantages of using web based compensation and benefit planning in the organization. The advantages are enable the planning and budgeting of the employee salaries and also any increase in their payment of their wages, improve the effectiveness of the accurate information, provide extensive reporting and presentation for top management, streamline the compensation cycles or planning, and empower managers at the organization to pay for the top performer.

There is also having the disadvantages if the organization implement the web based compensation and benefits planning in their organization. The disadvantages are this kind of the system does not have any disadvantages yet. It has reduced some of the task of the human resource workers and helps them in planning and recording the data about the compensation plan. Web based also one of the ultimate technologies that the human resource does in their daily responsibilities like record data and processing all the human resource activities.

WEB BASED LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT

From the presentation of the learning and development topic, we already cover about the overview, the components, advantages and disadvantages and their implication for management. In advance, it will helps the organization to plan and monitor training, develop and analyze the success training programs, recommend skill assessment, career matching and performance evaluation, and analyze the employee career development.  According to (Harrison, 2005) web based learning and development requires passion as well as skill, the successful operation of process as well as the design and delivery of products. There are several changes that can be traced if the organization using HRIS in the learning and development which is all the learning and development section will be done in computer based learning such as internet.

We also discovered that learning management system aim to deliver four main features which are delivery training content, tracking of trainee performance, and management of online learning and provision of tools for student’s collaboration. There are also have two management logs in to the system which is employee log in and administrator log in. for my understanding, employee log in included the basic info, my profile and the catalogue. For administrator log in is including the employee data management, training course management and training need assessment.

We also know about the functions of employee learning and development system which is as an employee information system, performance before training, the training course, the transfer of training and for performance evaluation. As we know, ELD is the process of recording all the information that related with the purpose of training management.

There are also have the advantages and disadvantages of using web based learning and development. For the advantage, it will be beneficial to the cost effective and accessibility helps the empowerment and facilitation and improves computer skills. The disadvantages of using web based are certain contents are not suitable to employees, need employees to know the basic computer skill and lack of human contact.

On that presentation also we already cover that there are some implication for the management. It will help the organizations in making important decisions. It also can improve the efficiency of recovery actions in terms of cost reduction actions and it also can make the process easier to implement, and sharing.  But it also makes these features system problems such as poor quality system. It also takes longer to process because to do something online because have to ensure that the training was trying to run true what is required.  According to (Bellingham, 2004) a critical success factor is to list in order for learning and development to realize its potential.
