An Approach to Maximizing the Value of Shared Services

For an effective business model that has been growing in use for 40 years, there are still some misconceptions about the shared service model. It is not outsourcing, and it is much more than co-locating staff.

Implemented well, shared services can address challenges faced by HR brought about by the growth and consolidation of organizations through mergers and acquisitions and affect process improvements in areas such as employee experience and engagement, cost and quality of delivered services, and operational areas related to processing times and scale.
