HR Transformation

HR transformation that survives contact with the operation

HR transformation programs stall when the service layer never changes. Employees still email, HR still tracks in spreadsheets, and the new operating model has nowhere to run.

First places in the enterprise segment

Three HR service delivery categories, each scored separately on user experience and on vendor satisfaction. Enterprise, 5,000 or more employees.

Where it usually breaks

Four failure modes worth designing around

No service layer

A new operating model without a case system tends to revert to inboxes.

Design the layer

IT dependency

If every change needs an IT ticket, the model stops adapting the day the program ends.

HR must own it

No baseline

Without volume and resolution data you cannot prove the transformation worked.

Measure first

No knowledge

Consistency is impossible without a governed knowledge base underneath.

Knowledge first

Build your case

Get a costed case for change in five minutes

Assess your HR and ER operation, surface the cost and operational risk hiding inside it, and leave with a maturity score, a recoverable cost estimate and an editable leadership deck.

  • Maturity score across the core dimensions of HR and ER service delivery
  • Recoverable cost and capacity estimate built from your own answers
  • Executive PDF report and an editable leadership presentation
  • Prioritized improvement roadmap

About five minutes. Recoverable means HR time you could redeploy, not guaranteed cash, and Dovetail license cost is not included: this measures your current position, not our price.

Equivalent capacity

A real result: 25,000 employees, financial services, HR run on shared inboxes and spreadsheets. Recoverable is HR time that could be redeployed, not guaranteed cash. Yours is built entirely from your own answers.

Who has to sign off

Answers for everyone who has to sign off

Security, IT, procurement and finance all have to sign off, and each one asks a different question.

HR Leader

Will this reduce my team's workload, and can I prove it upward?

Capacity metrics, service level reporting and exec dashboards that stand up in a board pack.

IT

What am I on the hook to build and maintain?

SSO, standard integration model, no dedicated IT build team, no custom development to go live.

InfoSec

Where does employee data sit and who can touch it?

SOC 2 Type II, data residency, the permission model, GDPR tooling, and the Trust Center for the documents.

Procurement

What does this cost across three years?

How the subscription is calculated, what drives it up, and what implementation costs.

Finance

When does this pay back?

8 month payback per G2, April 2025. The assessment models the recoverable side against your own headcount.
