HR Services

Oracle has focused its shared services at the regional level to attain high effectiveness at low cost, reasoning that “someone answering a phone in Iowa is not going to know much of what affects a caller in Europe or Asia.” IBM is also retreating from global policies to focus more attention on regional centers. It believes direct movement to worldwide processes might be too great a leap, if even desirable. Regionwide policies carry potential because of cultural similarities within a group of countries. The result of a HR Shared Services Center, is often an order of magnitude change in performance: better service at lower cost, as well as clearer policies and controls that focus on adding value within the remaining corporate functions.
