In the Springtime, One’s Fancy turns to…HR Shared Services??

As the Economy Continues to Recover – Hiring is on the Rise – Many Firms are realizing that their Human Resources Departments could benefit from some Assistance…

The economy finally seems to have turned the corner a bit and is stabilizing – at least in several sectors – according to a recent article in Forbes. Employers are once again beginning to seek out and recruit new personnel to fill roles in their growing organizations. Frequently new positions are added to corporate rosters without regard for the additional workload for the human resources department to recruit, maintain and retain the increased number of employees – particularly when the firm is a global operation with people in diverse locations.

As the role of human resources has evolved over the past few decades – from one of mostly tactical forms-based administration – to a much more strategic position in the organization’s growth plans; so too have the technological tools and resources available to assist in their efforts. A global HR Shared services solution, integrated into an organization’s network server or delivered via cloud computing, becomes critical to manage employee hiring and benefits programs, and corporate compliance and policy management.

An HR Shared Services system goes a long way towards helping HR professionals, as well as managers, executives and employees easily keep up with HR procedures and forms, corporate policies and other news, monitor and conform to any compliance challenges; and maybe most importantly of all – maintain open lines of communication – better setting expectations and boosting morale.

The components of an HR Shared Services offering are specifically designed to provide the information and processes required to help executives, managers, HR professionals and employees get the information and support they need to be successful. Integrated business and HR modules including Business Process Management, Business Intelligence, Collaborative Case Management and Personalized Knowledge Base, provide the data and analysis required keep HR initiatives flowing smoothly.

Building and maintaining a world-class, global human resources organization, requires the right resources – both human and technological. Implementing the right flexible and scalable technology solution can go a long way towards helping reach the goals of a workable HR strategy. One that both ties into corporate growth requirements; while also enabling the development of a highly satisfying corporate culture for employees. An HR Shared Services solution streamlines the delivery of human resources business processes and services worldwide – efficiently and cost-effectively – to boost corporate production, planning and communication.
