HR Shared Services

Capita has an infrastructure of HR Shared Service Centres across the UK, Ireland and India to provide our customers with choice, expertise, shared infrastructure and systems, and multi-skilled teams.

Each centre provides a range of HR, Learning & Development, Payroll and Resourcing services either to an individual organisation or to a number of clients.

The scale of our HR Centres of Excellence enables investment in leading edge technology combined with up-to-date work practices that deliver consistently responsive, efficient and reliable services. Each client is different and ‘bespoke’ requirements can be fully integrated into agreed service specifications and performance measured.

The range of services we offer extends from administrative processes to professional advice and HR consultancy support.

Our shared service centres presently deliver Integrated HR services to clients within central and local government, major banks and financial services organisations, and education.
