The HR Model: Its Evolution
1.5 years ago . . .
• In county HR structure
➢ HR reported to Country or Site Leaders
• Minimal Regional HR Structure
➢ Mostly focused on coordinating efforts
• No transparency of HR spend globally
➢ No opportunity to gage redundant
spend or leverage the economy of scale
• Little requirement to align on core
processes
➢ Redundant efforts to accomplish similar
objectives
• HR professionals focused on multitude
of responsibilities
➢ Too much time spend on activities more
administrative in nature - less time for
value add strategic problem solving with
business leaders
Now . . .
• In county HR organizations report into
corporate HR
➢ Budgets now have central oversight
➢ Non-HR related responsibilities pulled
out of HR organizations
➢ Reduced HR headcount in country
• Regional HR Structure larger
➢ Aligned to business units to support
business unit specific HR strategies
• Global Shared Services for manager
self service to streamline administrative
HR tasks
• HR partnerships with line leaders more
focused on strategic topics rather than
day to day HR administration
