Research is based on 355 organizations with operations in multiple countries that responded to the CedarCrestone 2013–2014 HR Systems Survey. Organizations that operate globally are complex across many dimensions. For the research, CedarCrestone uses an organization type framework that recognizes differences in organization structure, strategy focus, where decisions are made, and level of standardization of processes. CedarCrestone’s analysis shows that some organization types are more successful than others at mitigating the challenges of global operations as they “go global” with their Human Resources (HR) technologies. The research report also shows a path of maturity associated with adoption of more HR technologies along with achieving higher levels of efficiency and innovation. The white paper, available for free download, covers the following topics: • About Survey Respondents – provides demographics on the size and complexity of global organizations • Explaining Organization Type – organization type is used to characterize global organizations and provide the framework for analysis • Spending and Initiatives – reports on the varying initiative focus by organization type with an added key recommendation to invest in business intelligence for improved decision making for 2014 • Level of Automation by Type – outlines the path that organizations take to achieve a level of excellence from HR technologies • Three Areas Make a Difference – shows SaaS adoption and key administrative systems and service delivery trends of global organizations • Next Steps to Achieve Excellence – introduces Efficiency-Innovation practices • Assessing Organization Types on Efficiency and Innovation – identifies where each organization type excels • So Why Should You Care? – assists HR technology business case development by linking technology adoption to financial performance and shows one type that automates the most actually pays the least for both HR technologies and HR labor • Next Steps with HR Technologies Adoption and Associated Practices – summarizes the “Step Right, Step Up” approach to take for improvement - more 1255 Alderman Drive • Alpharetta, GA 30005 • p. 678.385.7540 • f. 678.385.7541 WWW .C EDAR C RESTONE .
