Shared Services - What is the service about?
People Management forms the axis of all other elements rotating around it. Tasks and sub-tasks supporting the main columns of People Management include employer branding, recruitment, compensation, performance management, organization development, safety, wellness, benefits, employee motivation and engagement, communication, administration, and training. If one tries to club all the tasks and sub-tasks of People Management in order to knit or weave the cultural fabric within the organization, it is the result of this very seamless employee experience that attracts and retains the right talent so desirable by any Organisation for its well being and growth.
The main 3 columns of People Management , can be said to be :
- Talent Acquisition
- Talent Optimization
- Talent Retention
Two aspects arise from the above-mentioned main 3 columns, one is Business Leaders and top-notch Decision Makers seeking quick and accurate results and the second aspect is to push down all associated costs.
It is well known that Human resources are a costly affair for any Organisation wanting to grow and prosper, however, with all this comes a price tag and makes HR a costly proposition in the process of hiring, training, and retaining people
As companies expand into new markets and take initiatives to venture into greener pastures, the complexity and scope of Human Resource issues increase tremendously.
Many attempts are made by Organisations in looking out for cost-cutting methods in order to reduce and optimize the output potential of each employee as well as overall, to focus on the objective of making business operations more effective with such human resource initiatives.
But all these efforts at times, only give temporary relief and do not last for long. Efforts are made initially with all gusto and then after some time, the fizz dies out once the energy reaches the saturation level. This is where an effective “Shared Service System” comes into play with effective business solutions and marginalized costs. Each Organisation has its own way of going about its business and the application of the concept of a Shared Service System cannot be the same for all. It is customized and fine-tuned to meet the requirement of every Organisation as each follows its own concepts necessary for growth and the high aspirations of giving success to its business.

- Define a “fit for purpose” shared services model aligned to organizational priorities and save cost
- Focus inquiry, transactional, and specialized service delivery for the “Must Be True Moments” based on desired employee experience
- Design and implement the automation capable of improving employee interactions and driving efficiency and consistency
- Align shared services to your broader Humans Resource operating model and transformation journey
- Get the “basics” right to allow Humans Resource to focus on higher-value activities
Treat employees as customers :
We aim to shift away from a transaction mentality toward more personal interactions with employees, particularly during key points identified as “moments that matter.”
Reshape employee interaction points :
We have the aim to review employee interaction points to be more in line with “commercial online” and “social media experiences” – incorporating mobile-enabled forms, chat, text, middleware
Shift technology focus from HRSS to Employees:
Our endeavour is to use technology to provides a unified, customer-focused experience for employees
While centralizing any function, adequate attention is given to the following 4 factors with the underlying desire to attain shared resource success, viz.
- Redundancy in relation to overlapping
- Reducing cost
- Improving productivity
- Taking customer experience to a new height
