Abstract

Human Resource Shared Services (HRSS) as a rage has occupied huge space in all types of human resource magazines and conferences. It’s becoming a vogue among organizations in the west and gradually spreading in other parts of the world. However, there is lot of confusion still prevalent in this area regarding the definition of HRSS itself. Being a new concept it is essential however for practitioners as well as researchers to have somewhat broader and wholistic picture of HRSS, before they take any major decision. In the present paper an attempt has been made to provide an integrated review of all important aspects of HRSS and provide a unified model.
