This multi-year study is focused on U.S. or North American HRSS organizations with service centers and centers of expertise. The study is designed to provide reliable and comparative benchmarking data that these organizations can use to compare the performance of their current HRSS organization to that of their peer organizations and to identify areas of improvement.

Findings reveal that a tiered delivery model continues to be the most common for HRSS centers. Consistent with 2011 results, governance structures show that HRSS organizations predominantly report to the lead HR executive rather than to a multi-function shared services executive. Additionally, top-performing shared services organizations continue to achieve significant efficiency gains and cost performance.
