In the described eHRM initiative, what outcome was achieved?

• A. Cost-effective workforce
• B. Rising labor costs
• C. Decreased productivity
• D. Compliance penalties

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that an eHRM initiative focuses on automating and centralizing HR processes to cut manual work, increase accuracy, and speed up HR tasks. When these systems are implemented well, routine activities like payroll, recruiting, benefits administration, and attendance become more efficient and scalable. That efficiency lowers administrative overhead and frees resources, so the organization運 can operate with a more cost-effective workforce. In other words, costs per HR transaction drop and value is gained from reallocating time and effort to more strategic activities. If costs were rising, productivity were decreasing, or penalties appeared, that would signal problems with the implementation, not the typical positive outcome of an effective eHRM system.
