Abstract: 
Human Resource Information System (HRIS) is one of the most important Management Information Systems (MIS) which contribute to human resource service delivery of an organization. This study therefore, seeks to identify challenges associated with the process. A closed-ended questionnaire was administered to 63 respondents from the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS) as well as Ho Technical University (HTU) to identify these challenges. The study found lack of management support as the major challenge to the adoption of Human Resource Information System (HRIS). The study concludes that that lack of management support slows down the adoption of HRIS. It is therefore suggested that management should be involved and sensitized on the importance of HRIS to improve and enhance its adoption.
