Setting Telecom Cable is the second largest cable provider in the Unites States. The company employs more than 55,000 employees. In 2003, the company wanted to create a shared services center that would provide employees with a centralized department that would assist with a variety of Human Resources concerns. It was out of this desire that the Employee Benefits Center; EBC was designed. The EBC would support employees with questions ranging from payroll, insurance, open enrollment, and Employee Relations. The center would also provide support for newly hired employees during the Onboarding process. At its conception the EBC consisted of two functional teams. The Onboarding team worked directly with employees during the Onboarding process. The benefits team assisted with open enrollment and other benefits related questions. At this time the staff of the EBC consisted of one Director, two Senior Manager, 2 team supervisors and 20 EBC coordinators. The Director of the EBC reported directly to the VP of Human Resources Operations for Telecom Cable. The Senior Managers were responsible for the strategic direction of the teams, while the supervisor managed the day to day operations; including leadership and development for the EBC coordinators.

Training: Both managers as well as employees will need to complete a series of training courses to ensure that everyone is well versed in company policy, as well as have knowledge of what to do in case of an event such as the current crisis at the Roanoke branch. One such course would be on the importance of communication between employees and superiors. All employees will learn when it is necessary to hire additional help, when they really need to speak up, and that human resources is here to help and they should not be shy when they need guidance. It is important for all team members to be knowledgeable about the company and policy. Employees will be scheduled for two meetings a week – on days that best fit their schedule – for four weeks, followed by an evaluation to see if the course material was thorough. If more training is necessary, it will be rescheduled accordingly.
