EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Situation • Limited resources are putting pressure on HR departments to improve their efficiency. • At the same time, HR needs to deliver more strategic value, provide data on the types of services it offers, and improve the quality of its services. Complication • Shared services are a common response to these challenges, but are extremely complex and differ in many ways from one organization to another. • Large-scale transformations like shared services require a lot of buy-in, but organizations are hesitant to disclose details before they know what the final outcome will be. Key Insight: There is no single HR shared service model that fits everywhere. Use a detailed planning process that identifies objectives, maps the current state, and then explores several options for improvement before deciding on a final recommendation. Resolution • • Follow a detailed planning process to create a shared service model that is tailored to your organization and specifically created to achieve your objectives. Ensure employee experience is considered throughout the process so the final product will fit their needs. SAMPLE Mc. Lean & Company 2

HR aspires to deliver exceptional client service through HRSS What Are HR Shared Services (HRSS)? • A consolidation and standardization of HR activities and services within a centralized function. • Commonly supported by a technology framework that can include an HR portal, knowledgebase, case management software, and telephony tools. Typical Functions in HRSS What goes into shared services? • Typically used to consolidate traditional administrative activities across HR, some organizations are using HRSS to deliver higher value-add services like recruiting, learning & development (L&D), and performance management. • While less common, some organizations opt to consolidate HR, finance, and IT departments under a single shared services function. • Shared services also provide the opportunity to free up HR staff to focus on strategic tasks.

Lean & Company insight The prevalence of the three-prong model – HR Business Partners (HRBPs), Centers of Excellence (COE), and HRSS – has led many HR departments to conclude that HRSS is a necessary approach to deliver services. However, there are situations where it is not appropriate, and service delivery is best left to localized HR. SAMPLE Mc. Lean & Company 6

Well-designed HRSS should deliver a better experience at a lower cost, in the long term Employee Satisfaction Cost Saving While it is not uncommon for HRSS implementations to be followed by a decline in satisfaction levels as clients adjust and processes are improved, over the long term HRSS deliver improved average client satisfaction scores. Moving to a shared service model can produce savings of 25 -50% (Honey, 2016).

Lean & Company insight Significant change management is required to ensure clients are supportive of shared services. Even when successful, HRSS typically only raise the average level of client satisfaction; it’s important to realize that there may be small pockets of clients who previously had exceptional service and may be faced with a decline in service levels.
