10 Characteristics of the Top Performing HR Services Organizations
What performance characteristics will you leverage to excel
your business?
The role of HRservices has made a huge transition from recruiting and managing talent to
providing valuable analytical capabilities for framework development, value
creation, and operational excellence, just to name a few. This significant transformation
has developed the HR role into a critical service provider for a successful
business..
HR departments provide services to the employees of their
companies the same way a business provides services to their customers. Similar
to customer services, HRservices not only want to satisfy their employees but make sure they’re
consistently happy with their services. As an end result, companies experience
a decrease in turnover, development of company culture, and an upgrade of the company as a whole.
An ideal practice to upgrade your HR services delivery is a
model that leverages the process capabilities of a Center of Excellence, Shared
Services Center, and different fields of HR distributed across different
position levels. These different levels of support should provide strategic advice for executive leaders, advisory support for middle management, and
administrative support where needed. The top performers who have implemented
this tiered practice have not only developed their HR team, but also began to
leverage technology in the process. This optimized framework and technology implementation allows you to improve your
transactions, provide expertise where needed, and problem solve with ease
allowing your company to focus on the more important things.
