Strategic Sourcing Guide to Training Administration Services Procurement

Overview

HR Services market around the world is undergoing rapid transitions that have a massive potential to influence the way companies strategize for Training Administration Services procurement and the cost they have to incur. Even though global population is increasing, the availability of adequately trained talent pool is reducing in many geographies. Lack of skilled in-house manpower continues to be the largest factor for hiring of Training Administration Services. Companies are designing processes where the internal talent can work on the most value-adding activities and all non-core activities can be handed over to a third-party.

With the influx of millennials in the workforce and increasing diversity at the workplace, companies are struggling to design pay and benefits processes that are uniformly relevant for the lifestyles of such diverse groups.

The market has undergone several structural changes including M&As and vertical integration efforts of suppliers. This has resulted in some issues such as erosion of previously established supplier relationships but has also opened new opportunities to onboard new suppliers with a wider range of offerings.

Training Administration Services Procurement Best Practices

The report discusses in detail the best practices that have served well the category managers responsible for Training Administration Services procurement.

For example, Buyers can achieve cost savings by bundling procurement of various personnel-related services (e.g. benefits administration, payroll, time and attendance, and HR management functions). The integration of different HR functions leads to the automation of employee data across various verticals. The integration also reduces the burden of manually entering and updating necessary information and offers consistency and accurate tracking across multiple systems.

Employers are focusing on providing employee-friendly interfaces (such as mobile-enabled services and web portals) to access and manage benefits and options available to employees. Suppliers who have the technical capabilities to seamlessly integrate with the employer's internal systems without comprising the data protection should be preferred.

Buyers must constantly communicate with service providers to provide them with better knowledge about buyer's goals and visions, which enables service providers to formulate customized plans and processes for the organization. Strategic partnerships with service providers enable buyers to have visibility into the latest technological innovations and cost-saving levers adopted in the market.
