HR SHARED SERVICES

What is a Shared Service Model?

Organisations utilise a shared service model as an efficient way of organising activities within their HR department.

HR shared services allow these activities to be available to a number of people who would provide routine administration of HR functions to the customer; functions such as Payroll advice.

This shared services model based on the work of Dave Ulrich led to organisational benefits which included; reduction of cost and increased quality of services provided to customers.

“The key to shared services is treating what was once a corporate service like a whole new business. This is

achieved by duplicating the environment of an independent service business, including customers,

counting costs, and letting in the competition. Just as market competition improves a firm, so it will

improve your in-house business”(QUOTE FROM JBS)
