Topic 1 - Identify Human Resource Information Requirements
 The process of identifying human resource information requirements includes collecting, collating and documenting information requirements of users and communicating processes to support users needs. Information requirements and communication processes should be agreed upon between users and relevant managers. A draft information plan can be developed specifying review mechanisms, timeframes and criteria which specifies information requirements clearly and concisely ensuring all information requirements are consistent with objectives and policies of the organisation. Budget and resources are identified to meet the information requirements.
