- HR shared services (HRSS) design and implementation is time consuming and resource intensive because it requires a customized approach to align with organizational needs.
- Many organizations expect ROI sooner than what is realistically accomplishable, which leads to taking shortcuts instead of following best practices and limits the impact of HRSS.
- Moving to an HRSS model is a large-scale change for employees both within and external to HR. Change saturation and high workloads for change leaders and agents hinder effective change management practices, resulting in HRSS implementation falling short.
