Balfour Beatty Rail Shared Services
Balfour Beatty Rail recently identified that improvements to supporting its businesses could be made by establishing a Shared Service for common activities.
At this point, the project team is focused on what’s in scope and making sure the right people are involved. We’ll be talking to all of our current employees whose role may be affected and giving them the opportunity to have their say.
Once we have our key people on board, we’ll be putting in a lot of preparation to make sure we’re ready to deliver the same great support that our people are used to when Shared Services begins delivering to its customers.
We’ve already identified a few areas that are in scope for Shared Services and work is currently underway to understand which processes and activities best fit a Shared Services organisation, and how these services can be effectively delivered:
- IT
- HR (including Payroll and HR Systems)
- Finance
- Property Services
- Internal Audit
- Procurement
It’s critical to our businesses that we continue to offer high levels of service to both internal and external customers and therefore the exercise to understand which activities are best delivered from Shared Services will develop over time. One thing’s for sure, it will bring about great opportunities for our current employees (and some new ones, where it’s relevant) to make their mark on a new Balfour Beatty organisation focused on its customers.
We’ll be updating this page as the scope of Shared Services becomes clearer – please do check back or register to receive vacancy alerts in the event we need to recruit externally. |
