So… The implications for HR in Higher Ed
Budget Deficit
Competition for
Skills
Increasing
Payroll Costs
HR Processes
Visibility
Talent
Management
HR budgets in higher
education are historically
about 50–75% lower than
HR budgets in general
industry
Industry is facing
competition - needs more
effective means to attract
and retain skilled
professional & academic
talent
Staff account for up to 60%
of overall cost and are
rising faster than
University income
HR functions in higher
education continue to lag
general industry practices
and do not have a clearly
defined HR strategy
Universities are
recognizing the need for
more progressive sourcing
and workforce planning
methods, adjunct (up to
70%) staff on the rise

• First time this element
has appeared in their
study
• Executives in the study
indicated this is the
competency that will
have the greatest
impact on the
business, yet that their
HR partners are
currently least
effective at
demonstrating
21
Speaking of HR Technology, Higher Ed has “opportunities”…

“On the whole, higher education institutions and public administration organizations remain
comparatively ‘late to the party’ on a number of HR Applications”

Let’s be clear though, technology alone will never deliver the results
How Talent Management Drives Performance
“While HR software has enabled organizations to implement tremendous new solutions; results ultimately come from the design and implementation of sound and relevant management practices.”
The software implementation forces HR to re-engineer and better design its talent
processes

In summary > The landscape in higher education is changing
rapidly with a focus on service delivery, compliance, and value (success/affordability)
> HR can play an integral role in supporting the institution to deliver on strategies to be successful in these new environments
> Modern, sophisticated HR programs like Talent Acquisition and Talent Management can reduce costs, and even drive student success
> Higher Ed leader are aware of the need for change, and see investing in technology as part of the solution, but technology alone is never the answer – it takes good professional design work too!
