The shared service centres can be found in house in the smaller organisations or with a network of partner employers that can be reached by phoning the call centre or online on a special internet platform dedicated to the organisation.
SNOW Mountain is still discussing whether to implement a shared service centre or not. They are driven by the thoughts that by doing so the whole HR services quality will get better and they can implement the business partner model.

Cross Servicing is essential to the success of Carolinas Telco FCU. It cost the credit union four times as much money to get a new member as is does to keep an existing member. It makes perfect sense to obtain additional services from existing members to bind them to Carolinas Telco FCU. A member who utilizes more of our services will be less likely to leave and more likely to bring continued business and deposits to our credit union, and because our members are owners, it is up to us to provide a service our owners will be happy to use.

The operation manager for JBI suggested considering that Saver Superstore is an easy to deal with partner unlike some other customers that make the business spent a lot of time on their rush orders .This comment brought Johnson to wonder about the customer service costs structure and allocation system. The current system allocates these costs based the revenue generated by each customer which assign a large share to Saver Superstore the biggest one.
HRM’s purpose is to ensure that success is achieved through its people, to retain and expand the customer profile whilst increasing and maximising profit. Organisations need HRM who know the business, can influence the culture, and make positive change, within an organisation (Ulrich, 1997).
