CCT recently purchased a computer software system that will increase efficiency and productivity in the human resources department and vastly improve communications with staff by automating many human resources processes currently done manually.

The new human resources information system will aid the HR department in the following areas:

· Recruitment

· Maintenance of employee history

· Time-keeping and recording of attendance

· Processing of leave applications

· Administering of salaries and benefits

· Tracking of performance and promotions

· Tracking of career paths, training and development

· Managing of disciplinary actions

· Processing of exits and clearance

An employee self-service feature of the system will give field staff easy access to information that once could be received only after periods of waiting. Through intranet displays, the HRIS will allow staff to, among other advantages, view their contracts, check on the status of their benefits, fill up forms for filing of claims, or submit suggestions to the management.

CCT currently has more than 700 full-time staff working in a total of 135 branches in 22 provinces, 49 cities, 42 towns, and at the head office in Manila.

The software vendor is Sigmasoft Technologies Corp. Contract signing was done on January 31, 2012 at the head office.
