Delivering the promise of HR Service Delivery

The world is changing rapidly, and so is your organization. Employee experience (personalization) and, therefore, HR Service Delivery are becoming increasingly important. Most professional organizations rely on talented people, which raises the question, “How do you retain your skilled employees?”

The obvious answer is that you have to identify your employee’s needs, forming the starting point for a customized work experience. Other important steps of work experience are the onboarding process, making decisions based on performance analytics, enabling your organization to detect bottlenecks and create a more efficient HR Service Delivery, and so on. One of the solutions that help to customize work experience is a self-service HR platform in which an employee can easily request the information they need (vacation days, salary inquiries, leasing, etc.). This does not only make life for your employees easier, but also gets rid of some major pains for your HR department. Self-service solutions take away repetitive tasks from your HR specialists and enable them to focus on improving, thus optimally using their skills. In short, HR Service Delivery should be a high-priority topic for rapidly changing organizations and their management.

HR Service Delivery not working as desired

One of our clients, who had already been through a number of HR improvements, was ready for their next HR transformation project at the start of 2018.  in previous transformation projects, the HR Service Delivery model was built around an HR portal and HR case management system. This solution, however, did not meet their needs in terms of user experience and functionality. Devoteam and ServiceNow were brought in to consult on the matter. Our analysis identified 3 key challenges:

• Users (employees) were experiencing an ineffective HR Portal, resulting in an inconsistent HR service experience.
• The current HR Portal solution was not stable, had technical limitations and did not offer speed and flexibility.
• HR lacked the right governance and business analytics to improve effectiveness.

A solution resulting in Continuous Improvement & an Agile HR Service Delivery

The defined business objective goals for our client’s HR department were to have ‘How to’ process information easily available, reduce tier 1 questions by automation, continuous improvement of the SDM (Service Delivery Model), agility for HR to serve business needs continuously and a more consistent HR Service Delivery through a standardized workflow. After a 6-month project, the results were as follows:

• An increase to 98.5% of ‘first time right’, which means that employees who want to get certain information get the right information after their first try in 98.5% of all cases.
• A restored NPS above their target of 60% means an increase in work experience for employees and a 100% increase in responses.
• Local content quality was rated 4,01 on a 5-point scale (this is the quality of information an employee receives).
• An average 20% decrease in incoming cases for HR.
