Building a HR Shared Service Function with HR Case Management

November 5, 2013 At Dovetail, we are very often asked to consult with clients who are building their HR Shared Services team.  In many cases, this will include an HR helpdesk function and human resources case management software.  This usually includes human resource reporting and human resources analytics, as well as physical and functional setup.  While my focus with the team is usually on the HR reporting side, there are a few lessons we've learned when it comes to HR service delivery that apply almost universally.
