Shared Services, especially in HR, is an increasingly common organisational response to creating more efficient service delivery. Costs can be reduced through the economies of scale from centralisation of services and increased customer focus can lead to better quality outcomes. Fusion’s HR Link is a Shared Service platform built on the BMC Remedy workflow technology; this technology can offer various routes to user friendly delivery.
Benefits of shared services
As one might expect, these changes can bring significant benefits, namely:
• Lower and more transparent costs
• More efficient Resourcing
• Better career development for staff
• Better quality services
• Higher customer satisfaction ratings, through an improved match between customer expectations and service
• A more integrated ‘total solution’ approach to problems.
