Chazey was engaged to support the Shared Service Center Transformation Project which included several key strategic initiatives to become a World Class Shared Service Organization.  Part of the scope of work included the plan and execution of several initiatives that will help Bimbo SSC achieve its long term Strategic Goals.  Chazey assessed the Payroll and Personnel Administration process in order to identify opportunities to optimize the processes and reduce manual work.   We identified new potential technologies to support the HR processes and evaluated new HR processes that could potentially move to the existing Shared Service Center such as Recruiting, Selection, Performance and Training Management. We also conducted a comprehensive benchmarking analysis and a CRM review to identify potential gaps with best in class organizations.
