Strategic Sourcing Guide to Hr Assessment Procurement

Overview

Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall HR Services as well as Hr Assessment procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. Changing workforce demographics are creating challenges in identifying the right talent mix and processes that can keep the talent pool motivated and satisfied with their work.

New locations and vendors are emerging as cost effective suppliers of Hr Assessment, offering an opportunity to widen the supplier base and gain further negotiation leverage with incumbent suppliers.

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.

Category managers need to take note of the potential of these developments and reassess the changes required in their procurement practices.

Hr Assessment Procurement Best Practices

The report discusses in detail the best practices that have served well the category managers responsible for Hr Assessment procurement.

For example, 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.

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.

Besides shortlisting potential suppliers based on services offered and cost, they also need to be evaluated against several other critical parameters. Some examples of these parameters are compliance with laws and regulations, capability to protect personally identifiable information and technical standards adopted (e.g. user interface, user exchange standards, data exchange standards). RFPs soliciting the above information ensures competition among suppliers and facilitates efficient evaluation.
