How to attract, develop and retain staff in a Shared Services Center

Article

ADP Globalview Europe's former HR Director Jean-Jacques Bellon outlines the factors that attract, develop and retain staff in a Shared Services Center.

Five years ago, ADP selected Prague to be the location of the new Shared Services Center dedicated to ADP GlobalView, a complete payroll offering for large multinationals.

One challenge when starting out in a new country is appealing to potential recruits, especially when the labor market is highly dynamic as is the case in the Czech Republic.

The business of the Prague Shared Services Center requires cutting-edge skills: SAP expertise, knowledge of payroll in European countries and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tools, fluency in English, etc.

Middle management plays a key role in spotting talent in the making. It is on the frontline when it comes to assessing employees' potential by their attitude, relationship with clients, interpersonal skills, and ability to grasp and resolve complex situations.

One indicator on the Human Resources team's scorecard is particularly important for monitoring the center's development: staff turnover. At the Prague center, it is controlled and stable around 15%. But, a stable workforce is pointless if its individuals do not perform collectively.
