SSCs – Shared Service Centers
• Current: DOE HR authority is highly delegated to 17 sites = Risk, cost, and inefficiency for DOE.
• To be: Hybrid approach - Shared Service Centers (SSCs) across DOE
• SSCs will be aligned by similar business lines.
• There will be a PMA-specific Shared Service Center.– HR operations will report to DOE HR.
– SSCs will manage the transactional aspects of HR.
– HR experts will be/remain on-site at each PMA to give daily support.
• Location of PMA SSC is to be determined.
• DOE preparing evaluation criteria to select location
• 4 SSCs – PMA would likely be last formed, est. mid-late 2016
Western is competing to have the SSC
• We are committed to ensuring lower cost and higher service ratios for Western, regardless of location of SSC.
• We are actively participating wherever we can, and in helping create the evaluation criteria for selection of location.
• We are actively working to keep a local presence focusing on PMA-specific needs.
• We are making it clear that we are 91% customer funded.
• Savings will come back to Western.
