Sample your initial discussion board response as an annotated question:

Chapter one of the text provides an introduction to the field of Human Resource Information Systems $($HRIS$).$ It states $(1.$ A quote from the material$)$ Example:

"HRIS lies at the intersection between Human Resource Management $($HRM$)$ and Information Technology $($IT$)($Johnson$,$ Carlson & Kavanagh, $2021,$ P$\mathrm{.}2)".$ It goes on to give the example of HRIS systems reducing transactional work for HR employees.

$(2.$ Your own insight$)$ Example:

I believe as a people leader, the integration of HRIS not only reduces transactional work for the HR staff, but also for managers as well as reviewing and approving time off requests, timecards and basic life events to just a few minutes literally processing a workflow designed to manage those very tasks effortlessly and often without the need for any further actions on the part of the employee, manager or HR team once the workflow is initiated.

Kavanagh and Johnson define HRIS as $"$an information system that is focused on supporting HR functions and activities, as well as broader organizational people processes $($Johnson$,$ Carlson & Kavanagh, $2021,$ p$.8)".(3.$ A follow$-$up question$($s$).$ Example:

Do you believe HRIS contributes to better alignment between HR operations and management processes? Have you had either a positive or negative experience resulting from the use of an HRIS platform?
