HR Effectiveness - Vision
HR/Payroll Vision
 A strategic business partnership supporting the human resource and payroll
needs of State government, enabled by utilizing leading business practices
and current technology
HR/Payroll Project Goal
 Through a statewide collaborative effort, the goal of the HR/Payroll Project
is to develop an enterprise-wide Human Resources/Payroll system utilizing
leading industry practices to provide a foundation for effective management,
increased efficiency, and the information needed to make timely and
appropriate decisions
7
HR Effectiveness - Guiding Principles
 Create a seamless HR/Payroll experience for employees
 Provide an environment for employees to make informed decisions about
their careers and employment benefits
 Streamline business processes to drive efficiency
 Increase productivity and make the State of North Carolina more
competitive
 Develop a single repository, with a common set of data elements, to
successfully support the State’s reporting and management activities
 Move transactions closer to the point of origin (Employee Self
Service/Manager Self Service)
 Provide a flexible system able to respond to changing HR/Payroll needs
 Eliminate redundant systems and duplicative processing
 Provide real time access to transaction activity
8
HR Effectiveness - Transformation
HR/Payroll Today
HR/Payroll Tomorrow
 Transactional Focus
 Separate and Isolated from Mission
 Fragmented data prohibits meaningful
reporting
 Manual, paper-intensive processes
 Processes and procedures vary by
agency
 Employees require assistance to
change personal data
 Inconsistent standards and forms
across agencies
 Duplicate entry of HR data into multiple
systems
 Fragmented data across agencies
makes statewide reporting difficult
 Strategic Focus
 Key Part of Organizational Mission
 Consistent information enables
accurate enterprise reporting
 Automated, technology-enabled
processes
 Employees can manage selected
personal data
 Standardization of forms and similar
processes across agencies
 Single HR/Payroll system to reduce
data re-entry
 Consolidated HR/payroll database
across all agencies for better reporting
Business Process Reengineering
Technology Implementation

Current OSP/HR Directors Initiatives
 Mediation Program
 Equal Employment Opportunity
 Competency Modeling
 E-Learning
 Career Banding
 HR/Payroll Systems Replacement Project

High Performance
Organizations
Are you feeling the stress?
I'm not sure exactly how it works, but this is amazingly accurate. The photo on
the next slide has 2 almost identical dolphins in it. It was used in a case study
on stress level at St. Mary's Hospital.
 Look at both dolphins jumping out of the water.
 The dolphins are identical. A closely monitored, scientific study of a group
revealed that in spite of the fact that the dolphins are identical, a person
under stress would find differences in the two dolphins.
 If there are many differences found between both dolphins, it means that
the person is experiencing a great amount of stress.
 Look at the photograph, and if you find more than one or two differences
you may want to take a vacation.
12
Can You See the Differences?
13
Moving the Game Up
 What Is a High Performance Organization?
 Why Are Higher Performance Levels Required?
 What Are High Performance Practices?
 How Does HR Impact Development of a High Performance Organization?
 How Can HR Measure Contribution to a Performance Organization?
So, HR is really important!
14
The Challenge – To Create a High Performance Organization
Embrace Government that is:
 Efficient, Effective, Trustworthy, and Responsible to citizens and their needs
 Prepared with a workforce to meet the demands of a global economy
 Aligned – Strategy, Leadership, and People to Organizational
Infrastructure, Processes, and Technology
“Now as one economic era has ended and another has begun, the time for indecision
and timidity has passed. We are already on the path of progress. Our full attention must
be focused on the transition of our economy consistent with the educational demands of
this global era.”
- Governor Easley, 2005 Inaugural Address
15
Government and Corporate America Must Move Up Organizational
Performance
 Meet budgetary demands to create more value with less
 Fight the competition and improve constituent value
 Develop workforce plans to meet State strategic objectives
 Develop and retain the best talent
 Provide HR services that support mission critical activities at the State level
as well as at the agency level
 Meet expectations of candidates and future employees
 Create infrastructure to support efficient HR service delivery

HR Impact on Development of High Performance Organization
 Performance Management Processes and Policies
 Organizational Change Management
 Strategic Workforce Planning – Talent Management
 Risk Management
 Workforce Training and Development
"Develops a workforce prepared to meet the demands of a global
economy by expanding life-long learning opportunities"
“The top in innovation, creativity, knowledge, talent, and skills“
- Mike Easley, NC Governor
19
Measuring HR Effectiveness
 Measures must be strategically relevant and aligned with statewide
objectives and specific agency goals
 Measures must be limited but focus on:
– Key drivers of performance and their outcomes
– Provide Cause\Effect relationships among measures
 Example Measures
– Percent of trained employees with increased KSAs as reported by
management
– Percent of new hires who are exceeding expectations after one year
– At least a 25% pay differential between good and excellent performers
– Total cost of vacant positions
– Voluntary turnover rate of high performing employees
– Percent of grievances settled through mediation

JAD Session Highlights
Design and Maintain Organizational Structure
Process Overview
The objectives of this process are
to determine organizational
design, define competencies and
reporting/working relationships for
each position, maintain job
descriptions and responsibilities
for each position in the
organization, and create an
organizational development plan
to achieve desired staffing and
skill levels.
Improvement Opportunities

across all parts of the state
 Simplify and consolidate job descriptions
 Simplify approval processes with fewer people touching data
Potential Barriers
 Legislature does not understand the HR information they are provided
 Computer equipment is out of date
 Fear of change, particularly changes in responsibility and authority
 Insufficient training could create additional errors
 Difficulty in moving beyond “we’ve always done it this way”
 Lines of approval vary across agency
 Agencies do not want to pay for support or changes
 Uniqueness of the Judicial branch hinders standardization
Benefits
 Ability for agencies to access real time data to respond to
legislature or budgeting requests
 Ability to create more professional looking job postings that
appeal to a wider variety of applicants
 HR and Payroll can better support decision making and
been seen as strategic partners
 New technology and processes will bring the state closer to
the way the private sector operates
 Ability to eliminate shadow systems and the cost of
maintaining them
 More accurate data can generate cost savings. For
example, position planning to reduce overtime
 Organizational charts are more accurate because
they can be produced electronically rather than
maintained manually

JAD Session Highlights
Maintain Benefits Enrollment and Administer Benefits
Process Overview
 This process includes
maintaining the rules for
benefit plan eligibility and
enrollment. Voluntary,
employee-paid, and employerpaid benefits are included. In
addition to traditional benefits,
flexible spending, tax-exempt,
and tax-deferred plans are
also included.
 The administration of benefits
is focused on the processing
of disability claims.
Improvement Opportunities
 Start employee benefits upon hire rather than after a waiting period
 Change benefit plan year to calendar rather than fiscal year to make it easier for employees
to manage their benefit deductibles
 Track employees plan enrollment statewide and base decision making on consolidated data
 Simplify transfers between agencies and remove unnecessary paperwork
 Automate the calculation of the disability payment
 Automate the transfer of funds from the retirement system back to the agency rather than
payment by a check
Potential Barriers
 Different benefits options with special rules that have been grandfathered in add complexity to
the development and administration of plans
 Some employees have limited computer skills, or less solid reading skills
 Limited employee access to computers
 Language barrier for employees that must use the system but do not speak English
 Interface with Retirement System may be difficult to implement
Benefits
 Ability to provide employees with a total
compensation statement that includes benefits
 Ability to provide a seamless experience for
employees transferring between State agencies
 Ability to process transactions more efficiently with
less administrative work and fewer errors
 Employees will have greater faith in the accuracy of
their benefits changes
 Employees become more empowered and more
responsible
 Consistency of information across agencies allows for
better decision making
 Less time spent on administrative tasks
 Ability to provide better customer service
 Improved ability to meet deadlines
 More correct and timely processing of disability claims
