Then, in the 80s and early 90s is become the compensation planning shifting to PC, automating all of the HR tasks like job evaluation and salary planning. But, now after the early 90s come to an era where compensation planning is used by the managers with of web based compensation planning.

Web Based Occupational Safety and Health

Occupational safety and health (OSH) is related to the safety and health in the working environment. There have many organization in governmental bodies are promote occupational safety and health at work such as the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission in Australia, Occupational Safety and Health Council in Hong Kong and also Health and safety Commission in the United Kingdom.

The safety and health at workplace can be promoting in the education and training, community at the organization. The effectives of management of OSHA is depend who the organization preventing hazard in the workplace context by implementing with the comprehensive management of human resources and organizational strategy.  

 Web based Occupational Safety and Health is the best strategy that organizations use to give the awareness for the employees about the important of the OSH at workplace. Organization can use the own website to promote the safety among the employees. Using the safety and health web application facilitates the management can help the employee welfare to standardize procedures, risk analysis, approval measures and mentoring Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) process at the workplace. Besides that, it also can help the organization avoid the employees injuries with ensure the employees comply with OSHA standard through OSHA Compliance Assistance in their web based system that contains both online and written resources. These are including employee training resource, e-Tools, factsheets on specific health and safety topics, and guidelines for complying with specific regulations.

Other than that, by using the web based application occupational safety and heath the organization can gain more advantages for the organization such as the management can link the organization with the consultant or agencies of safety and health to get more information about the safety and health issues that can give knowledge for the all staff in organization.

The example of database application system OSHA is OSHA Performance and Tracking Measurement System (OPTMS) to obtain information on activities related to OSHA CPRA goals. This Web-based system requires no additional reporting because it includes 276 data elements that already exist in other OSHA data systems (GAO, 2001). Meanwhile, the Construction Safety and Health Monitoring (CSHM) system is the web-based system for monitoring and assessing construction safety and health performance. The design and development of CSHM is an integration of internet and database systems, with the intent to create a total automated safety and health management tool. (393 words)

Web-Based Employee Learning and Development

According to Serrat (2009) stated that a learning organization influence effectiveness in develop organizational. Nowadays, Employee Learning and Development (ELD) system is most famous. The internet is one example of technology that offers ways to increase learning, link resources and share valuable knowledge within and outside an organization. Using the internet organization can e-mail for accessing courses material and sharing information about the training, bulletin boards, forums and new group for posting comments and questions. The advantages of internet based training (IBT) are universal language, easy and affordable distribution, and new content and cheap technology. (Ronald R. Sims, 1998)

Besides that, the intranet also can give effective learning for organization. The primary benefit of an intranet is ability to focus the content to a particular reason while conquering many of the technology limitations inherent in the World Wide Web (www). With the intranet, the trainers can provide employees access to current training materials incorporating text, graphics, video and audio, available in self-directed mode at the PC and accessible anyway of geographic location. Computer manufacturer Hewlett-Packard is company recently completed on on-line, world-wide conference for about 2,000 employees involved in education and training (Greco 1997). The advantage of intranet is employees do not have to work around a set schedule and they will have complete written record of what transpired.

In the web-based technology and ELD system has the many function such as to handle and organize employees training, career planning and development. ELD system also can help in analyzing the career of employee based on their requirement and performance at the same it can propose the right training that need to upgrade and develop employees knowledge, skills and abilities. E-learning is example in the ELD system. The advantage of E-learning is can gain knowledge with low cost than attending training. Besides that, the employee also can improve their computer skills. But the ELS system also has the disadvantages such as lack of interaction among trainee. At the same time they can't refer any one if they didn't understand the information about the training.

Usually the organization has the ELS system has more support from the top management. This is because it related a many budget to develop and also the learning culture of the organization. For my view, for the one day the ELD systems are more useful in the organizations compare the traditional-paper method.  (394 words)

Introduction of Web Based Application

For the second reflective, I take the three topics to discuss. All the topics are related to web based application but in different areas. First, web based employee learning and development. Second is web based occupational safety and health and the third one is web based compensation and planning

            Refer to Netsity Systems, web based application is a software package that can be accessed through the web browser such as the internet or intranet. The software and database be present on a central server rather than being installed on the desktop system and is accessed over a network.
