Introduction
ICTs can be viewed as a collective term for a wide range of software, hardware, telecommunications and information management techniques, applications and devices, and are used to create, produce, analyze, process, package, distribute, receive, retrieve, store and transform information (Porter and Millar, 1985; Brady et al., 2002).
The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that Human Resource Management can be enhanced through Information Communication & Technology. Research has shown that when companies adopt ICT, it provided many positive benefits to the organization, such as improvement in communication, sharing of information, linking different arms of an organization and reduces the burden place on the Human Resources Department
Businesses today are face with significant challenges, and as society develop, technology will develop. We live in an information age, no longer personnel data are store manually, but are inventories in software system and cloud
