    What the best companies do … and why… can be found in our closed HRIS and Payroll Benchmarking communities or in our Trend Scouting workshops. READ MORE

    Peer-to-peer conversations to identify or discuss arising or persistent challenges are valuable if HRIS leadership out of comparable company environments come together in trusted and regular circles. They become even more efficient and effective, if they are supported with professional preparation and follow-ups and have the chance to include some pointed knowledge infusion.

    This is exactly why we are engaged and facilitate such peer-to-peer network communities. Our members value the outcomes like

    • Understanding different perspectives on burning topics and what keeps you up at night
    • Benchmarking the own set up against the peers
    • Co-innovation activities to define critical solution approaches that are relevant for all
    • And last but not least the strong relationships between the people who know how …

    Examples of closed networks driven by SHAPEiN:

    • The HRIS Community meets twice a year with selected HRIS leaders out of many of the DAX 30 organizations to discuss latest challenges and trends and how to use them.
    • The Payroll Benchmarking community consists of many large german organizations who are benchmarking their operational HR and payroll support functions to understand and increase their operational excellence.
  • Process & Instruments Excellence

    Getting the best out of your HRIS usage, e.g. through Learning Landscape optimization, measuring Recruiting KPIs that matter or harvesting of hidden Performance Management features existing technology provides.

  • Carve Out , PMI & Reorg

EXAMPLE 1: Deliver the business case

Initially SHAPEiN was asked to review program and conceptional set up for a cloud-based HR Admin & Payroll implementation in the client’s  main country.  Client then needed support to get to a “phase 2” for extension of functional usage as well as global roll-out of relevant functions to other countries. Hence our engagement was extended to set up a governance model for processes, concrete HR-IT landscape and roadmap design and definition of “Guiding Principles” for global and local process implementation. In execution phase, SHAPEiN was asked for continued involvement in set up and coordination of project work streams and functional and technical implementation support.

EXAMPLE 2: Close the knowledge gaps

Known for regular „trend scouting“ workshops on client site and through participation of a closed HRIS community, SHAPEiN was asked to support a Corporate HR service function in a carve-out project. In addition to deliver a “Carve Out Factory” approach for re-usable methods and tools in carve-out and PMI situations, SHAPEiN supported Corporate HR and IT in selection of Payroll BPO provider. In the BPO vendor driven implementation project for the carve-out candidate, engagement was expanded to support with Subject Matter experience and to steer implementation.

EXAMPLE 3: Execute on critical business needs

Due to a required post-merger integration after acquisition of new entities with significant size, a transformation of the HR Administration & Payroll organization and process set up was necessary for local German entities in critical delivery timing. SHAPEiN supported in a PMI concept for HR Operations leading to the need for a complete HR Admin redesign and payroll outsourcing in a first phase. In the transformation program, SHAPEiN was asked to steer and support the RFP process and BPO provider selection and to take over Project Coordination and Controlling as well as support of individual work streams during Implementation and set up of Service Delivery.
