In this month's Jeitocast Karen Beaman interviews Steve Parker on how HR Shared Services can help achieve greater efficiencies and effectiveness.nbsp; Steve talks about how it's important to realize that not every high-volume, transaction-based activity is necessarily a good candidate to move into a shared services group.nbsp; The most effective use of the HR Shared Services balances three components together to determine what should be transitioned: move non-strategic, non-business unit critical activities that will scale appropriately to Shared Services while making sure the business units can still operate effectively, make sure expertise exists within your Shared Services staff to handle the activities in a cost-effective manner with improved quality, re-engineer or streamline processes before moving them to Shared Servcies to take advantage of process improvement and standardization. If you can't standardize a process, you need to give some second thoughts to moving it into an Shared Services group.nbsp; Many failures in the delivery of services from the Shared Services function can be tied back to non-standard, one-off processes that cannot be effectively managed by the Shared Services group. Given today's economic environment, companies are under pressure to do more with less.nbsp; Often this involves standing up a Shared Services function.nbsp; But unless care is taken to ensure that the right processes are identified, standardized, optimized, and that the Shared Services staff is adequately trained to handle them, the result can often be more costly and less efficient.

The top three trends ... In this Jeitocast, Karen Beaman interviews Christian Adlung on the subject of what's changing in the HR landscape in Europe. The top three trends that Christian sees occurring across Europe are: (1) harmonization of talent management practices and policies both on an European regional level and on a global level; (2) movement towards shared services, particularly placing shared service centers in Eastern Europe in countries such as Hungary and the Czech Republic; and (3) development of more strategic talent management capabilities, such as performance management, recruiting, and staffing. Christian also talks about the challenges multinational companies face when expanding their business in Europe: (1) the highly regulated and diverse legislative situation making it difficult to standardize practices across countries; (2) the strong cultural differences throughout the 27 different countries of the European Union, confounding the difficulties in harmonization; and (3) the uneven population size of companies in the different countries making it difficult to provide the same high levels of service to everyone.
