Project Description
I have chosen to be involved in a project to implement and integrate a new Professional Organizational Employer (P.E.O) and Human Resource Information System (HRIS). In that leaf, I, as the director of the human resource of Hethaway Consultancy outsourced the services of ADP Total Source to help in some activities that the company might be involved in. In essence, PEO is a company, which can be outsourced to another company to perform managerial tasks like training and development, workers payroll and risk-management among other activities that might appear expensive for the company. HRIS, on the other hand, is an IT platform of handling human resource issues. Some of the most critical applications of HRIS include curriculum vitae scanning and analysis, expenditure of employee benefits and incomes, employee performance assessment and data synchrony for changes in employees’ job description. Typically, the option of outsourcing proves to be advantageous to the firm in that, it will save some time, which would be used in performing other activities.
As Hethaway consultancy, we found it imperative to incorporate these strategies to gain competitive advantage. The two new dynamics-PEO and HRIS will go a long way in improving our recruitment and hiring procedure, reduce paperwork, accurate HR audit, and develop ideal business fits. We also need to adopt the HRIS in compliance with the law. However, we are cognizant of the challenges that may go along with the outsourcing process. Problems may include a shift in technological advances, which will always be present. There is the possibility of human error during input, which could create incongruity in the company.

Therefore, to implement these strategies effectively, I have selected a team of six able individuals. In fact, these individuals have a vast experience in such matters thereby being helpful in making the project appear flawless. However, Undertaking this project will be challenging, but we are up to the task. In my role, I will push hard my employees out of their comfort zones. I will also work relentlessly to guide the whole team. I will also be on the alert to eliminate any duplication or violating budgetary lines as stipulated by the corporate finance manager. Finally, I will also put up my experience in motivating the employees to ensure that they work out of their hearts for the success of that project.
Team Selection
As mentioned earlier, my first critical task will be to select an efficient team. I am well aware that if the implementation of these strategies is to be effective, much will depend on my thoroughness on harnessing synergistic teamwork that has been the primary goal of the firm. I am also keeping in mind that teams bear their complexities. It is therefore crucial that I select people who can work together under different circumstances and challenges. Typically, the employees working on this p...
