Quickly emerging are three clear types of HRO services. There is the basic HRO, full HRO and integrated BPO. Basic HRO is mostly for mid-sized organizations and organizations with fewer than 20K employees. Full HRO may be for any larger organization with a more developed HR function while integrated BPO serves the same market.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s the basic HRO package? Well, there are specific vendors out on the market that are trying to capture the non-complex HR market by offering payroll, benefits and HRMS services only. These vendors (ADP and Ceridian) are well positioned due to their dominance in the traditionally outsourced payroll market. Each vendor also has strong offerings in the outsourced benefit arena, although there is much more natural competition in this market. ADP probably has stronger core HRMS functionality, but Ceridian has broader partnerships in talent areas. Each vendor has also wrapped employee call center technology around these offerings, leveraging call center support from their payroll and benefits expertise.<\/p>\n
The full HRO package is similar to the above, but broader functionality is offered, more services and customization. The expectation is that full HRO also provides the ability to identify process inefficiencies and apply appropriate best practices. In terms of functionality, the roll-out of a full talent management suite would not be unexpected. Management and services to some functions might also be included, allowing the client organization to eliminate certain types of staff. So while compensation analysis and benefit plan design may not be removable from the HR staff, production support for functions like recruiting (RPO) have gaining acceptance. The vendors for full scale HRO haven\u2019t changed and are still Accenture, Convergys, Arinso, ExcellerateHRO, and Hewitt.<\/p>\n
Emerging mid-market HRO offerings are coming down-market as vendors see profit potential. These offerings provide less robust core HRMS applications and less customization, but the same levels of process outsourcing as other large HRO agreements.<\/p>\n
Integrated BPO? There are actually only a few organizations that can offer this if the client is willing to single-source their entire outsourcing strategy. Therefore, an organization looking to leverage finance, IT and HR can really only go to IBM, ExcellerateHRO (EDS) or Accenture. Any large organizations willing to outsource all these functions should search out one of these vendors, but I find it highly unlikely that any company would single source all outsourcing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
