Must set up an HR Shared Service Program with the other divisions such as:

One purpose of shared services is the convergence and streamlining of an organization’s functions to ensure that they deliver to the organization the services required of them as effectively and efficiently as possible. This often involves the centralizing of back office functions such as HR, SCM and Finance but can also be applied to the middle or front offices.

A key advantage of this convergence is that it enables the appreciation of economies of scale within the function and can enable multi function working (e.g. linking HR and Finance together), where there is the potential to create synergies.

Traditionally the development of a shared-service organization (SSO) or shared-service centre (SSC) within an organization was a result of the need to reduce costs (often achieved through economies of scale), standardize processes (through centralization) and ultimately to allow the business (and subsequent business units) to focus on core activities.

A large scale cultural and process transformation can be a key component of a move to shared services and may include redundancies and changes of work practices.

Shared services are more than just centralization or consolidation of similar activities in one location. Shared services can mean running these service activities like a business and delivering services to internal customers at a cost, quality and timeliness that is competitive with alternatives.
