Insights from the HR Shared Services Executive Retreat
Posted by Art Mazor
Recently at the HR Shared Services Executive Retreat, we discussed globalizing HR service delivery and how companies are approaching the challenges inherent to delivering HR services globally. A natural tendency is to begin by thinking that globalization is about trying to decrease or minimize differences in how services are delivered. The initial idea is often that the only way to deliver shared services in HR is to have everyone operating from common policies, technology, and data. Eventually, however, particularly in large, global organizations, it becomes clear that achieving so much standardization is not only hard, but also not necessary or even desirable. We also discussed how to deploy different types of HR shared services capabilities to support and enable the way organizations need to work globally.
