HR function is widely distributed across faculty, staff, student employment offices and was not consolidated
Decision was made prior to go-live to have the Payroll & Benefit Services Center “out front” in the implementation, rather than having the project team in that role.

Why consolidate?
EfficiencyConsistencyBudgetary savings from
consolidation of staffing, facilities, duplicated effort. If you can, have a documented business plan of before and after costs.

Forms development and access - allow for printer variability
Phones - create a call center help desk within the Center. Try to predict call volume, but have a flexible staffing pattern available, and shift as needed. Plan for peak periods (payrolls, open enrollment for benefits, etc.)

Pulling staff together
Figure out how many staff you will need, and hire more than that, planning on getting back to budget through attrition
Don’t forget the support staff infrastructure - files rooms, front line, data entry
Build a new staff dynamic - and combine old traditions with new

Dealing with campus politics - letting go
Transition from campus presence to centralized service creates a sense of loss and skepticism
Deliver high quality service - show people that good service doesn’t always equate with “on the campus”
Campus site presence schedule - how to determine what is enough
![Page 15: April, 2001 University of Colorado zSession 1007: Creating a Consolidated Services Center for Payroll and Benefits Presenter: Kaye Orten, Director, Change](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022083004/56649ebe5503460f94bc7b01/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Campus politics, page 2
Make sure to get input from the campus leadership about site presence schedule and let everyone know this was done
If there is a staffing problem, deal with it. Put your best people on the front line at remote sites. Ask for feedback about performance and responsiveness.

Providing go-live support
Bring up the Service Center before go-live if possible
Provide supplemental training to Service Center staff before go-live
Provide additional on-campus support so that not every call hits the centralized services group in the beginning

Watch your call statistics - beware of long wait times or high # abandonned calls
If it’s not working try something else
