An employee self-service intranet portal system

Applied project submitted to the Department of Computer Science, Ashesi University College, in partial fulfillment of Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science, April 2010Human resources management (HRM) is the management of people in an organization. In order for this to be effective, a number of activities must be carried out. Records of these activities have to be kept in order to keep track of progress. Some approaches have been tried over the years to make HRM efficient. These are the paper based system and automation of some HRM. These approaches however have proven to be inadequate. This project focuses on designing and building an employee portal system that would encourage employee interaction and puts as many activities of HRM as possible into the hands of employees. It is also aimed at automating as many HRM activities as possible. By this approach, the human resource manager would be freed up for other important human resource functions, employees would be made to feel a part of the organisation and the organisation would save money, thus making the HRM process both effective and efficient.Ashesi University Colleg
