This study borders on Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) in the Nigerian banking sector. As argued in this study, HRIS drives effective organisational learning, appreciable productivity and above all sustainability in the era of challenging and changing human resource management strategy for organisational growth. The challenges of applying HRIS to sustainability in the new media age are compounded by fierce globalisation pressures that are forcing organisations to be web 2.0 compliant in order to link organisational performance to the demands of contemporary business demands. An essential aspect of this challenge is seen in the global call for more sustainable business practice, which the present study contends can be advanced via HRIS. As shall be demonstrated in this study, a sustainability approach to the Nigerian banking sector debate anchored in HRIS will engender competitive edge, productivity and organisational learning that are central to this. It is on the strength of this, that this study is framed. Also, this study is a conceptual paper based essentially on extant literature on the various themes outlined above. Thus, attempt is made to extend knowledge on the present sustainability debate in the Nigerian banking sector by critiquing approaches including using the framework of HRIS to advance this in the sector.
