Japanese Patent Publication No. 2019-53509

However, the invention described in Patent Document 1 had the problem of not being able to display a comparison of the employee information application details before and after the change on the screen.

This invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide an employee information management device, an employee information management method, and an employee information management program that allow users to view not only the changed content but also which items have been modified and what has been changed to, in a list format during the application and approval process of employee information applications, enabling them to quickly identify the changes.

To solve the aforementioned problems and achieve the objective, the employee information management device according to the present invention is an employee information management device comprising a storage unit and a control unit, wherein the storage unit comprises a real storage means for storing a real table for registering pre-change information, which is employee information approved by the administrator, and the control unit comprises a change registration means for registering post-change information, which is the employee information modified by the registrant and before the administrator's approval, and a before-and-after comparison display means for displaying the post-change information and the pre-change information in a comparable manner when an application content inquiry instruction is set.

Furthermore, in the employee information management device according to the present invention, the before-and-after comparison display means is characterized in that, when the application content inquiry instruction is set, it displays the changed item information corresponding to the changed item between the item set in the changed information and the item set in the changed information in a comparable manner.

Furthermore, in the employee information management device according to the present invention, the before-and-after comparison display means is characterized in that, when the application content inquiry instruction is set, it displays the items set in the employee information in a tree grid format, allowing for comparison between the changed information and the changed information.

Furthermore, in the employee information management device according to the present invention, the before-and-after comparison display means is characterized in that, when the application content inquiry instruction and the instruction to specify hidden items are set, it hides the changed item information and the changed item information corresponding to the hidden items.

Furthermore, in the employee information management device according to the present invention, the before-and-after comparison display means is further characterized by displaying the number of the changed items, which are the hidden items.

Furthermore, in the employee information management device according to the present invention, the before-and-after comparison display means is characterized in that, when the application content inquiry instruction is set, it displays the modified information and the pre-modification information in a comparable manner for each application status of the modified information.

Furthermore, in the employee information management device according to the present invention, the before-and-after comparison display means further displays an unapproved list selection screen in which the modified information can be selected, and when the modified information is approved and selected by the administrator on the unapproved list selection screen, the modified information is updated and registered in the actual table as the pre-change information.

Furthermore, in the employee information management device according to the present invention, the before-and-after comparison display means further displays an employee information application screen in which the changed information can be selected, and when the changed information is selected by the applicant on the employee information application screen, the changed information is made subject to approval application.

Furthermore, in the employee information management device according to the present invention, the before-and-after comparison display means is characterized in that, when the application content inquiry instruction is set, it displays the modified information and the pre-modification information on a single screen for comparison.

Furthermore, in the employee information management device according to the present invention, the change registration means is characterized by registering the changed information, which is the employee information modified by the user on the employee information management screen and prior to the administrator's approval, into the entry table.

Furthermore, the employee information management method according to the present invention is an employee information management method to be executed by an employee information management device comprising a storage unit and a control unit, wherein the storage unit comprises a physical storage means for storing a physical table for registering pre-change information, which is employee information approved by the administrator, and the control unit is executed to register post-change information, which is the employee information modified by the registrant and prior to the administrator's approval, and a before-and-after comparison display step, which, when an application content inquiry instruction is set, displays the post-change information and the pre-change information in a comparable manner.

Furthermore, the employee information management program according to the present invention is an employee information management program to be executed by an employee information management device comprising a storage unit and a control unit, wherein the storage unit comprises a real storage means for storing a real table for registering pre-change information, which is employee information approved by the administrator, and the control unit is characterized by executing a change registration step for registering post-change information, which is the employee information modified by the registrant and before the administrator's approval, and a before-and-after comparison display step for displaying the post-change information and the pre-change information in a comparable manner when an application content inquiry instruction is set.

According to this invention, it is possible to output the before and after versions of employee information application content based on the inquiry. Furthermore, according to this invention, it is possible to compare the before and after versions of employee information application content. Furthermore, according to this invention, it is possible to check the before and after values on a single screen and highlight only the changed items. Furthermore, according to this invention, it is possible to change the displayed content according to the operator's needs, such as being able to check only the employee information being applied for when applying, only the employee information being approved when approving, and checking the changes when registering changes. Furthermore, according to this invention, in medium-sized and large companies, where different personnel register and check information, such as HR personnel at branch offices and HR personnel at headquarters, the function to compare the before and after content can lead to increased work efficiency. Furthermore, according to this invention, although there are many items managed in HR, it is possible to narrow it down to only the items to be checked, or to check the specific values before and after changes in the application and approval process, which reduces the need for manual verification and helps in detecting input errors. Furthermore, this invention allows both applicants and administrators to perform checks with the same user experience and screen layout, and enables comparisons of each item, thereby improving work efficiency. Additionally, this invention reduces the workload of input checks among staff members in companies with multiple locations or limited face-to-face communication due to remote work.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[1. Overview]
First, the outline of the present invention will be explained with reference to Figures 1 to 6. Figure 1 is a diagram showing an example of the organizational and departmental structure in a medium-sized to large company. Figure 2 is a diagram showing an example of a conventional employee information management screen. Figure 3 is a diagram showing an example of a conventional employee information application screen. Figure 4 is a diagram showing an example of a conventional unapproved list selection screen. Figures 5 and 6 are diagrams showing an example of the employee information management process in this embodiment.

Traditionally, in mid-sized and large companies, it was assumed that administrators would register employee information centrally at headquarters. Therefore, there were few requirements for before-and-after comparisons, and consequently, the system lacked a function to compare employee information before and after changes. This meant that it was impossible to determine what had been modified on the employee information registration, application, and approval screens.

For example, in a typical medium-sized to large company with an organizational structure like the one shown in Figure 1, when employee information registered by a branch HR representative was submitted and approved by a head office HR representative, the registered employee and the employee submitting the application/approval were different, and they were also located at different branches. Therefore, it was impossible to verify the discrepancies in the information.

In other words, as shown in Figure 2, conventionally, if a registrant (branch manager) registered employee information and then changed the registered information, or if the application was rejected, they could not check the information before the change. Furthermore, because only a limited number of employees could submit employee information applications, employee information registered at each branch was submitted collectively. However, as shown in Figure 3, conventionally, the information displayed on the application screen was the changed information, making it impossible to determine what had been modified from this screen alone. Also, as shown in Figure 4, conventionally, the information displayed on the approval screen (unapproved list selection screen) was by employee information category (address information, educational background information, family information), making it impossible to determine what had been modified from this screen alone.

Therefore, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, this embodiment provides a mechanism that solves the conventional problems by constructing a screen that allows users to check the changes before and after the application process for employee information.

[2. Structure]
An example of the configuration of the employee information management device 100 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 7 to 10. Figure 7 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the employee information management device 100 in this embodiment.

As shown in Figure 7, the employee information management device 100 is a commercially available desktop personal computer. However, the employee information management device 100 is not limited to stationary information processing devices such as desktop personal computers; it may also be a portable information processing device such as a commercially available notebook personal computer, PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), smartphone, or tablet personal computer.

The employee information management device 100 comprises a control unit 102, a communication interface unit 104, a storage unit 106, and an input/output interface unit 108. Each component of the employee information management device 100 is connected via an arbitrary communication path for communication.

The communication interface unit 104 connects the employee information management device 100 to the network 300 via a communication device such as a router and a wired or wireless communication line such as a dedicated line. The communication interface unit 104 has the function of communicating data with other devices via the communication line. Here, the network 300 has the function of connecting the employee information management device 100 and the server 200 so that they can communicate with each other, and is, for example, the internet or a LAN (Local Area Network).

The input/output interface unit 108 is connected to an input device 112 and an output device 114. The output device 114 can be a monitor (including a touch panel), a speaker, or a printer. The input device 112 can be a keyboard, mouse, microphone, or a monitor that works in conjunction with a mouse to provide pointing device functionality. In the following description, the output device 114 may be referred to as the monitor 114 or printer 114, and the input device 112 as the keyboard 112 or mouse 112.

The storage unit 106 stores various databases, tables, and files. The storage unit 106 also stores computer programs that work in cooperation with the OS (Operating System) to give instructions to the CPU (Central Processing Unit) to perform various processes. For example, the storage unit 106 can be a memory device such as RAM (Random Access Memory) or ROM (Read Only Memory), a fixed disk device such as a hard disk, a flexible disk, or an optical disk. The storage unit 106 includes an employee information layout pattern master 106a, an employee information layout pattern category master 106b, an employee information layout pattern category detail master 106c, an employee information layout setting master 106d, a code master 106e, an employee information category master 106f, an item group master 106g, an item group member master 106h, an actual table 106i, and a document creation table 106j.

The employee information layout pattern master 106a is a master containing layout patterns for employee information. Here, the layout patterns are patterns that can be created for each business event (recruitment, transfer/assignment, resignation, secondment, or transfer to another company, etc.) and are necessary for using the employee information management screen (the screen for registering employee personnel information). These patterns may include: (1) New layout patterns: layouts necessary for registering new employees; (2) Modified layout patterns: layouts necessary for modifying registered employee information; and (3) Inquiry layout patterns: layouts necessary for inquiring about registered employee information.

The Employee Information Layout Pattern Category Master 106b is a master that sets the categories and category groups for employee information layout patterns. Here, a category is a classification that can be registered and queried in employee information management. In the Employee Information Layout Pattern Master Maintenance, Employee Information Category Details Master Maintenance, and Employee Information Layout Settings, for each category, you can set (1) the category to display, (2) the items to display, (3) the items to be required during registration, and (4) the position of the items (this can be set for each layout pattern). Furthermore, a category group is a classification of categories into three types: (1) Attribute Information: a group containing categories related to employee attribute information such as address, family, and licenses/qualifications; (2) Issuance Information: a group containing categories for displaying information such as secondment, affiliation, or leave of absence registered in the Individual Issuance Registration (screen for registering issuance information) on the employee information management screen; and (3) Issuance Registration: a group containing categories to be displayed on the Individual Issuance Registration screen.

The Employee Information Layout Pattern Category Details Master 106c is a master that sets the details of the categories for employee information layout patterns. Here, the Employee Information Layout Pattern Category Details Master 106c may also have item groups and item group members. An item group summarizes the information of each item within a category, and (in the item management master) the item name, usage classification, etc., can be managed, but this management may be per company rather than per layout pattern. An item group member summarizes the information of each control within the item group. For example, for an item group that allows selection of "Gender," the item group member might have three pieces of information: (1) Label (Gender), (2) Text Box, and (3) Label (Male). Furthermore, the item group member may also have information such as the type of control and the width of the text box.

The employee information layout setting master 106d is a master file that sets the layout for employee information.

Here, with reference to Figure 8, an example of the employee information management screen settings in this embodiment will be described. Figure 8 is a diagram showing an example of a table relationship diagram in this embodiment.

As shown in Figure 8, in this embodiment, the categories displayed on the employee information management screen, the items to be displayed, the items to be required during registration, and the position of the items can be controlled on a per-layout pattern basis.

Returning to Figure 7, the code master 106e is a master table that associates type, code value, and table name. In other words, the code master 106e is system-provided information and manages information that cannot be modified by the user. Here, type 1002 manages the "category group," and type 1004 manages the "application status."

The employee information category master 106f is a master file that associates and sets category group ID, category ID, category name, display flag, and display order.

The item group master 106g is a master database that associates and sets the item group ID, item group name, category name, category group ID, category ID, display flag, and display order.

The Item Group Member Master 106h is a master file that associates the Item Group ID, Control ID, Table Name, Field Name, and Control Type.

Here, with reference to Figure 9, an example of master data linking in this embodiment will be explained. Figure 9 is a diagram showing an example of master data linking in this embodiment.

As shown in Figure 9, in this embodiment, the code master 106e, employee information category master 106f, item group master 106g, and item group member master 106h are linked.

Returning to Figure 7, the actual table 106i is the table that registers the pre-change information, which is the employee information approved by the administrator. In other words, the actual table 106i is the table that manages the actual information. When employee information is registered by the administrator, it is reflected in the actual table 106i. When employee information is registered by the applicant and final approval is completed, the employee information is reflected in the actual table 106i.

The document creation table 106j is a table that registers updated employee information, which is the information before administrator approval. In other words, the document creation table 106j manages information in the process of being submitted. When employee information is registered by the applicant and the application status is "Not Submitted," "Submitted," "Approving," "Rejected," or "Withdrawn," the employee information is reflected in the document creation table 106j.

Here, with reference to Figure 10, an example of the table state in this embodiment will be described. Figure 10 is a diagram showing an example of the table state in this embodiment.

Figure 10 shows the state of the actual table 106i and the entry table 106j before modification by the registrant in this embodiment. Because it is before modification, the entry table 106j is Null.

Returning to Figure 7, the control unit 102 is a CPU, etc., that comprehensively controls the employee information management device 100. The control unit 102 has internal memory for storing control programs such as the OS, programs defining various processing procedures, and required data, and executes various information processing based on these stored programs. Functionally, the control unit 102 includes a change registration unit 102a and a before-and-after comparison display unit 102b.

The change registration unit 102a registers the updated employee information, which is the employee information before administrator approval. Here, the change registration unit 102a may register the updated employee information that has been modified by the user and before administrator approval. Alternatively, the change registration unit 102a may register the updated employee information that has been modified by the user on the employee information management screen and before administrator approval in the entry table 106j.

The before-and-after comparison display unit 102b displays the changed information and the changed information in a comparable manner. Here, the before-and-after comparison display unit 102b may display the changed information and the changed information in a comparable manner when an application content inquiry instruction is set. Also, when an application content inquiry instruction is set, the before-and-after comparison display unit 102b may display the changed item information and the changed item information corresponding to the changed item between the item set in the changed information and the item set in the changed information in a comparable manner. Also, when an application content inquiry instruction is set, the before-and-after comparison display unit 102b may display the items set in employee information in a tree grid format, allowing for comparison between the changed information and the changed information. Furthermore, when an application content inquiry instruction and a hidden item specification instruction are set, the before-and-after comparison display unit 102b may hide the changed item information and the changed item information corresponding to the hidden item. Here, the hidden item specification instruction may be an instruction (command) entered by the user at any time, or it may be a pre-set instruction (for example, a default setting by the system, or a prior user setting, etc.). Furthermore, the before-and-after comparison display unit 102b may display the number of changed items, which are hidden items. Also, when an application content inquiry instruction is set, the before-and-after comparison display unit 102b may display the changed information and the pre-change information in a comparable manner for each application status of the changed information. Furthermore, the before-and-after comparison display unit 102b may display an unapproved list selection screen where the changed information can be selected, and if the changed information is approved and selected by the administrator on the unapproved list selection screen, the changed information may be updated (overwritten) in the actual table 106i as the pre-change information. Also, the before-and-after comparison display unit 102b may display an employee information application screen where the changed information can be selected, and if the changed information is applied for by the applicant on the employee information application screen, the changed information may be made the target of the approval application. Furthermore, when an application content inquiry instruction is set, the before-and-after comparison display unit 102b may display the changed information and the pre-change information in a comparable manner on a single screen.

[3. Specific Examples]
A specific example of this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 11 to 26.

[Employee Information Management Processing]
Now, with reference to Figure 11, an example of employee information management processing in this embodiment will be described. Figure 11 is a flowchart showing an example of processing by the employee information management device 100 in this embodiment.

As shown in Figure 11, when employee information is changed by the user via the input device 112 on the employee information management screen, the change registration unit 102a registers the changed employee information (before administrator approval) in the entry table 106j (step SA-1).

Then, the before-and-after comparison display unit 102b determines whether or not the applicant has set an instruction to inquire about the application details on the employee information application screen via the input device 112 (step SA-2).

Then, if the before-and-after comparison display unit 102b determines that no application content inquiry instruction was set on the employee information application screen (Step SA-2: No), it proceeds to Step SA-4.

On the other hand, if the before-and-after comparison display unit 102b determines that an instruction to inquire about the application details has been set on the employee information application screen (step SA-2: Yes), it proceeds to step SA-3.

Then, the before-and-after comparison display unit 102b displays an employee information application content inquiry screen on the output device 114, which is configured to allow comparison of the modified information registered in the creation table 106j and the original information registered in the actual table 106i on a single screen (step SA-3).

Then, the before-and-after comparison display unit 102b determines whether the applicant has selected the changed information via the input device 112 on the employee information application screen (step SA-4).

Then, if the before-and-after comparison display unit 102b determines that the changed information was not selected in the employee information application screen (Step SA-4: No), it proceeds to Step SA-5.

Then, the before-and-after comparison display unit 102b determines whether the changed information was selected as "returned" or "discarded" by the applicant via the input device 112 on the employee information application screen (step SA-5).

Then, if the before-and-after comparison display unit 102b determines that the changed information has been reverted to the previous version on the employee information application screen (step SA-5: reverted), it notifies the registrant of the reverted status and proceeds to step SA-6.

Then, when the registrant changes the information via the input device 112 on the employee information management screen, the change registration unit 102a updates the information in the entry table 106j (step SA-6) and proceeds to step SA-2.

On the other hand, if the before-and-after comparison display unit 102b determines that the changed information has been selected to be discarded on the employee information application screen (step SA-5: discard), it deletes the changed information registered in the document creation table 106j and terminates the process.

On the other hand, if the before-and-after comparison display unit 102b determines that the changed information has been selected in the employee information application screen (step SA-4: Yes), it proceeds to step SA-7.

Then, the before-and-after comparison display unit 102b notifies the administrator of the approval request for the modified information (step SA-7).

Then, the before-and-after comparison display unit 102b determines whether or not an application content inquiry instruction has been set by the administrator via the input device 112 on the unapproved list selection screen (step SA-8).

Then, if the before-and-after comparison display unit 102b determines that no application content inquiry instruction was set on the unapproved list selection screen (Step SA-8: No.), it proceeds to Step SA-10.

On the other hand, if the before-and-after comparison display unit 102b determines that an application content inquiry instruction has been set on the unapproved list selection screen (step SA-8: Yes), it proceeds to step SA-9.

Then, the before-and-after comparison display unit 102b displays an employee information application content inquiry screen on the output device 114, which is configured to allow comparison of the modified information registered in the creation table 106j and the original information registered in the actual table 106i on a single screen (step SA-9).

Then, the before-and-after comparison display unit 102b determines whether the item was selected as approved or rejected on the unapproved list selection screen via the input device 112 by the administrator (step SA-10).

Then, if the before-and-after comparison display unit 102b determines that the item has been rejected on the unapproved list selection screen (step SA-10: rejection), it notifies the registrant of the rejection and proceeds to step SA-11.

Then, when the registrant changes the information via the input device 112 on the employee information management screen, the change registration unit 102a updates the information in the entry table 106j (step SA-11) and proceeds to step SA-2.

On the other hand, if the before-and-after comparison display unit 102b determines that an item has been selected as approved on the unapproved list selection screen (step SA-10: approved), it proceeds to step SA-12.

Then, the before-and-after comparison display unit 102b overwrites the pre-change information registered in the actual table 106i with the post-change information registered in the creation table 106j, deletes the post-change information registered in the creation table 106j (step SA-12), and terminates the process.

Here, with reference to Figures 12 to 20, an example of employee information management processing at a branch office in this embodiment will be described. Figures 12 to 20 are diagrams illustrating an example of employee information management processing in this embodiment.

In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 12, when employee information is added, modified, or deleted by a branch (registered user) on the employee information management screen, the registered information is added to the document creation table 106j, as shown in Figure 13.

In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 14, when a branch (applicant) requests an inquiry about the application details on the employee information application screen, a comparison of the employee information before and after the changes is displayed on the employee information application details inquiry screen, as shown in Figure 15. Here, the inquiry about the application details may be performed by a button or by directly initiating a job. In this embodiment, if no application status checkboxes are selected, all application statuses may be displayed. Furthermore, in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 16, displaying employee information in a tree grid is expected to improve the visibility of the changes and the clusters of changes. Also, in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 16, the number of changed items may be displayed when the tree grid is collapsed, and the detailed content may be displayed when it is unfolded. For example, in this embodiment, the collapse/expand operation of the tree grid is at the user's discretion, and when it is collapsed and hidden, the number of changed items included in the hidden items of the collapsed portion may be displayed in the top row that remains after collapse.

In this embodiment, the internal link between the actual table 106i and the entry table 106j is as shown in Figures 17 and 18. When the application processing category is 1: New, the "Before Change" column in the combined information is set to "New," and the "After Change" column is set to the information from the entry table 106j. When the application processing category is 2: Modification, the "Before Change" column in the combined information is set to the information from the actual table 106i, and the "After Change" column is set to the information from the entry table 106j. When the application processing category is 3: Deletion, the "Before Change" column in the combined information is set to the information from the actual table 106i, and the "After Change" column is set to "Delete." As shown in Figure 17, in this embodiment, the actual table 106i and the entry table 106j are linked using "Company No." and "Employee Code" as keys. Thus, in this embodiment, the actual information before submitting the application is set in the "Before Change" column, and in the case of an application for an additional row, it is fixed to "New." Furthermore, in this embodiment, the submitted information is set in the "After Change" column, and in the case of a row deletion request, it is fixed to "Delete".

As shown in Figure 19, in this embodiment, if the applicant checks the "combined information" display and confirms it is OK, the applicant submits the application. Here, as shown in Figure 20, in this embodiment, the information in the application table 106j is updated at the time of application.

Furthermore, an example of employee information management processing at headquarters in this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 21 to 24. Figures 21 to 24 are diagrams illustrating an example of employee information management processing in this embodiment.

In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 21, when the head office (administrator) inquires about the application details during the approval process on the unapproved list selection screen, as shown in Figure 22, a comparison of the employee information before and after the change is displayed on the employee information application details inquiry screen. Then, as shown in Figure 23, in this embodiment, if the administrator's check is OK, the application is approved by the administrator. Finally, as shown in Figure 24, in this embodiment, the actual table 106i and the document creation table 106j are updated upon completion of the approval process.

Furthermore, an example of the display item filtering process in this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 25 and 26. Figures 25 and 26 are diagrams illustrating an example of the display item filtering process in this embodiment.

As shown in Figure 25, in the employee information application content inquiry screen of this embodiment, by selecting the "Show only changed items" radio button for the display items, a comparison of employee information before and after changes where the pre-change information registered in the actual table 106i and the post-change information registered in the document creation table 106j do not match may be displayed.

Furthermore, as shown in Figure 26, in the employee information application content inquiry screen of this embodiment, if the "Rejected" radio button is selected for the application status, a comparison of the before and after changes to the employee information registered in the application table 106j may be displayed. In this way, in this embodiment, the information at the time of display processing is retained, and this information is further extracted, allowing the user to narrow down the results according to the content they wish to confirm.
