Pressure point
Evaluation Centre's overview of the HR software and payroll software market...The pressure is on the HR department to spend less time on administrative activities and more on ‘transformational’ work. To address this problem, a number of structural changes in the way that HR services are delivered have been implemented in the form of shared service centres, outsourcing and electronic delivery in order to standardise policies and procedures.
This change is clearly reflected in the amount of re-organisation that has occurred within HR. In the past year alone, according to our latest survey, 35% of HR departments have undergone a significant restructure, with a further 17% re-organising during the last 12-24 months.
Respondents cite a range of reasons for the evolving structure of their HR department. The key drivers are the need to improve the services offered to the organisation (54%); enabling HR to become a more strategic contributor (50%); and repositioning the HR function to fit the wider organisational model (46%).
Somewhat lower down the scale, but nonetheless significant, are the need to reduce costs (26%), provide more responsive customer service (25%) and increase business focus (24%).
While most respondents feel their HR and payroll systems are either meeting their requirements very well (31%), or at least adequately (40%), nearly a quarter (24%) admit that they do not meet all of their needs. view in full >> |

HR: to train or not to train?
|
|
| In an economic downturn, IT training is often the first ‘overhead’ to cut. Shelley Fishel of The Training Surgery argues this could be a short-sighted approach to reducing costs.
