Juli Oliver-Smith Head of East Kent HR Partnership
East Kent HR Partnership The beginning…………….
The EKHRP Journey • Why – Project Drivers • Objectives of The Partnership • Business Case and beyond • Service Delivery model and Approach • Organisational Structure • Where are we now?
Why - Project Drivers • At least 3 of the councils needed replacement payroll systems & joint working lead to better procurement terms. • Modern IT systems provide much better staff and management reporting and information. • A single system is managed more efficiently than having each council manage its own system. • The agenda for policy development continues to grow and therefore the development of new policies or revision of existing policies once for use four times has to deliver efficiencies.
Why - Project Drivers • All the partner organisations had experienced difficulties recruiting and retaining qualified/experienced HR professionals. • The payroll service in each district relied on one or two people and there is, therefore, a need to increase resilience. In addition: • There was a consensus amongst all partners that a shared service was the way forward in addressing the drivers.
Objectives of the Partnership • Efficiency Savings • Increased service resilience • Aligned business processes • HR / Payroll (self service functionality & timely management information) • Larger pool of HR expertise & specialists • Greater buying / procuring power
Business Case & Beyond In the longer term:……. • A common job evaluation scheme. • Standard policies for all the partner organisations. • Greater development and career opportunities for staff in the shared service. • Greater development and career opportunities for staff in each authority. • A quality training programme that meets the needs of the partners, staff and managers on a timely basis. • Standardised terms and conditions across the East Kent authorities.
Service Delivery Model and Approach • Started role on 1st September 2009 • Set Cost Envelope • Lots of work/analysis had been done • How (and what) would we deliver?
