Bureau Veritas, an international certification agency, began its digital HR journey in 2014 by implementing a global HRIS to manage the data for their 73,000 employees. They decided to take their digitization efforts even further by automating and simplifying all their employee-related administrative activities with PeopleDoc's HR Service Delivery platform, which seamlessly integrates with their HRIS platform, SAP SuccessFactors. The results have gone beyond just saving time, the HR department at Bureau Veritas has completely changed—for the better.
Bureau Veritas’ HR team has been able to accelerate the rate at which they respond to employees, thanks to PeopleDoc’s collaborative case management platform. They also provide employees with a self-serve knowledge portal, which saves time for both the HR team and the employees. Together, these capabilities have elevated the service they provide and shifted the HR department's outlook. “The work has changed. Our employees are clients. Our candidates are clients,” says Fernanda Ribeiro, VP, Human Resources, Operations and Digitization, Bureau Veritas.
Along with providing employee-centric service, the PeopleDoc platform will also allow Bureau Veritas to operate more like HR business partner. With less administrative work to do, HR can spend more time collaborating with managers. “We can make sure we’re compliant on our employee administrative activities and, on the other end, we have more time to work on people development and recruit the talent for today and for tomorrow,” says Fernanda.

In many industries, job candidates are also customers. An example is the person who loves dining at a restaurant and decides to apply for a bartender job there. The last thing organizations want to happen is to lose both a candidate and a customer at the same time. The second reason is that employees are responsible for delivering the customer experience. The way they do that is by having their own excellent experience.
Does Your Organization Have an Employee Service Philosophy?
Most organizations have customer service philosophies. Examples include “Put yourself in your customers’ shoes” and “Put your customers’ needs first.” A customer service philosophy is defined as a group of shared principles that guide every customer interaction. Often, they are linked to the organizational mission, vision, and values. Customer service philosophies include references to honesty, respect, empathy, and making customers a priority. In thinking about external customer service philosophies, it raises a question. Shouldn’t organizations also have an employee (aka internal customer) service philosophy?
