1. Needs Assessment: Julia must have carried out a proper needs assessment
to understand the specific human resource needs of the organisation and the
loopholes of the present system. This is a critical step to customise or
personalise the HRIS to the organisations requirements.
2. Stakeholders' Involvement: Involving stakeholders such as HR staff, IT
personnel, and end-users in the early stage of the process helps understand
the expectation of the stakeholders and gain their buy-in. It gives a sense of
ownership and thus is less resistant to change.
3. Vendor Evaluation: The evaluation of different HRIS vendors is very essential

communication plans, training programs, and support systems that facilitate
change.
Areas for Improvement
1. Improved Communication: Julia would have built more solid channels of

subsequent and refresher training may then render all users competent in the
application of this new system. It consists of practice sessions to exercise and
additional assistance and support in case of failure.
3. Formal mechanism for giving feedback:A formal feedback mechanism serves
as a channel for the users to articulate complains and suggestions on areas
that would enhance the system. This type of feedback assists in identifying
