Tools
Managing human resources effectively requires tools that are not only robust but also intuitive. I designed a Human Resource Management System (HRMS) to centralize key HR functions into a single, user-friendly platform, meeting the needs of HR professionals and employees alike.
Problem Statement
The HR department faced significant challenges:
Disorganized Data: Employee and departmental information were scattered across different systems.

These inefficiencies slowed down HR operations, causing frustration for both HR teams and employees.
Goals
Build a centralized platform for all HR-related tasks.
Design intuitive interfaces for both HR professionals and employees.
Ensure scalability to accommodate organizational growth.
