Over the past 4 years, the CA Global HR Team has played a significant role in
helping the company overcome many business critical challenges such as
rebuilding the entire senior leadership team, deploying a new global ERP
application and enhancing enterprise-wide systems, restructuring organizations
to align with new business strategies and building solid internal processes to
maximize efficiencies and further drive growth.
In 2007, the CA Global HR Team gained even more momentum in the overall company
transformation as well as the transformation of the HR function within CA by
achieving the following:
Global Standardization of HR Processes and Increased HR Strategic Value: After
implementing a global ERP application (SAP) and globalizing the HR
organization, CA partnered with a global outsourcer to manage our core HR and
recruitment operations. This initiative deployed in March of 2007 covering
over 50 countries and over 14,000 employees. The overall initiative included
the launch of global HR Service Centers, a brand new Talent Management system
(Vurv) and streamlined business processes. This effort enabled CA to realize a
10% savings benefit on HR operational costs.
Greater Employee Engagement: CA conducts an annual Employee Opinion Survey
every February. Based on the 2007 survey results we initiated a major
communications campaign with the executive leadership team to share the survey
results and formed Task Forces to drive the performance of key variables. For
2008, over 85% of the employee population participated in the annual employee
survey, an excellent benchmark.
Job and Career Architecture: Based on the 2007 employee survey results, HR
initiated a Job and Career Architecture project to design jobs that align to
internal business requirements and external best practices. This initiative
also enables employees to understand their current job and the career paths to
grow within the company.
Greater Employee Retention: HR also started focusing on retention initiatives
globally. By calibrating attrition globally and analyzing the root causes we
were able to drive initiatives to reduce attrition. Additionally, the HR team
developed executive scorecards for the Board of Directors and other senior
leadership committees to communicate our attrition and drive greater
accountability for employee retention. As a result, CA reduced attrition by
over 4 points globally and in emerging countries like India we reduced
attrition by over 8 points in the last year.
Development of HR Analytics & Quality: The implementation of SAP HR and
outsourcing has given CA greater access to HR data. We have begun to analyze
this data and educate managers on how to use HR data for business decisions by
publishing HR Metric white papers every week. The HR team built the HR
Analytics and Quality function from the bottom up in 2007.
In summary, the CA Transformation is truly unique and the HR organization has
made significant contributions and achieved business impacting results in terms
of reducing operational expenses, increasing operational efficiency, increasing
strategic HR value, increasing employee retention and engagement.
