Considering HR Transformation, Shared Service or Outsourcing & Need a Little Help?

We at Synuron are aware that in these difficult financial conditions many of you are considering coming together to form Shared Service Centres or outsourcing HR transaction services entirely to an HR BPO provider, such as Capita, Serco etc.

In response to considerable demand from members and beyond, Synuron announces the launch of Synuron Services. Your organisation doesn’t have to be a member, although members do receive considerable discounts.  Synuron experienced HR consultants can help you understand your options:

  • Is shared service or HR BPO right for your organisation?
  • Which services are best kept in-house and which work well in a shared service or BPO environment?
  • What is the true cost and savings potential?  We know it isn’t always what it seems on the surface
  • The pros and cons of HR BPO versus Shared Service
  • What SLAs should you ask your provider to work to

Synuron consultants have extensive HR Shared Service Centre development and HR BPO experience gained in the NHS and in the private sector at companies e.g. Capita, BBC, O2, Accenture, Microsoft and many others in both the public and private sectors from feasibility to implementation. Whether you need assistance for a few days or for a longer implementation programme, to help you understand your options, manage a vendor or to set up an HRSSC, we are here to help.

We know the NHS, and we know HR.  HR BPO and HR Shared Service Centres are a big decision, as an independent and trusted advisor we can help you sort through the vested interests and the rhetoric.

For more information take a look at www.synuron.org/services or email us at services@synuron.org for an appointment to speak with one of our consultants.

We have just compiled some statistics that we’re really happy with, so we wanted to share with our members and potential future members!

Synuron e-Recruitment is definitely not a teenager anymore, since its infancy and launch just over 18 months ago, the Synuron e-Recruitment has proved to be a highly effective and successful recruitment tool for all members with:

  • over 2500 vacancies advertised through it
  • over 82,000 applications started
  • over 2,000 adverts also placed on NHS Jobs through the system
  • not a single moment of the system being down and un-usable for either candidates or members.

Synuron announces Central Surrey Health s first non-NHS member

Central Surrey Health, a co owned social enterprise based in Ewell that provides therapy and community nursing on behalf of the NHS to residents of central Surrey, has signed up for Synuron membership, making them its 1st non-NHS organisation and 9th member in total.

Synuron, also a social enterprise, offers membership to organisations working in the health, social care and charity sectors and gives them access to membership benefits including innovative technology, knowledge and a support network to help them save money by streamlining and improving their HR and recruitment processes.

Mary O’Shea, Executive Lead for HR at Central Surrey Health, said, “We’re very positive about joining Synuron and have great expectations of the system. We are looking forward to taking advantage of some of the membership benefits available such e-Recruitment and e-Disclosure systems. We also hope to use the benchmarking and knowledge sharing available from other members.

This membership is part of our aim to revolutionise healthcare in our community by applying new ideas to old problems and working smarter as a result.”

She added, “Since 2006, we’ve had the freedom to use public funding in a more innovative way and have subsequently improved the services we offer. Joining Synuron is another step in this direction and fits with our approach of continuously improving the way we do things. .”

Marilyn Gardner at Synuron commented, “Central Surrey Health is our 1st non-NHS member, which is a significant landmark for us. We’ll be looking at how we can apply our methods, technologies and best practise approaches to streamline their HR and recruitment process to save money and make them more efficient in patient care.”

She added, “This is an example of how Synuron, as a social enterprise, is addressing some of the most complex challenges facing organisations and using innovative solutions that give a return to the wider community.
