A-Pac firms to see big changes in HR functions: Survey

About one-third of Asia Pacific- based companies plan to make significant changes in their human resources strategies in coming days to improve operational efficiency, a survey report said.

A majority of Asia Pacific-based companies are seeking greater efficiencies to improve the processes within the function, global professional services company Towers Watson said in its survey.

The 2013 HR Service Delivery and Technology Survey, which covered 1,025 companies, including 578 based in Asia Pacific, found that 33 percent of the respondents are likely to make a change to their HR structure by the end of the next year.

While 51 percent of companies in Asia Pacific already have a defined HR strategy in place, further 31 percent of entities plan to implement such strategies within the next 18 months.

Among companies changing their HR structure, nearly three-quarters (73 percent) are doing so to realise further operational efficiencies, over half (52 percent) are doing so to improve quality and 38 per cent are pursuing a change in business strategy or seeking to achieve cost savings (24 percent).

"Without question, HR service delivery is in a state of change," Towers Watson's Asia Pacific HR Service Delivery practice director Robert Zampetti said.

"What is really interesting is the continued trend towards replacing core HR systems, and a willingness to invest in new technology and a growing shift towards software-as-a-service," he added.

For the Asia-Pacific region, the survey said the spending on HR technology remains steady and strong despite cost reductions in other areas of HR.

More than half of organisations (53 percent) indicated their investment in HR technology this year will match last year's investment levels, while more than a quarter (27 percent) will either increase or significantly increase their HR
technology investments.
