Along with its predecessor HR@2009, it comprises a range of concrete measures that we have put to- gether to achieve quality, process and structural improvements, as well as increased efficiencies and cost reductions within HR. As a result, we have been able to reduce our use of resources within HR by around 45 percent to a more competitive level whilst simultaneously improving quality indicators since 2007. Getting closer to our customers by pooling expertise in service and consultancy. Strengthening HR’s Business Partner role and improved ser- vices for executive staff. In addition to improvements in internal cooperation within HR, the year under review has seen us con- solidate the HR Business Partner role and establish uniform HR Business Partner areas in all Group units. We have done this in tandem with a more precise definition of – and improvements to – our services for executive staff. We are defining more clearly the difference between HR strategy tasks and administrative HR tasks. HR strategy tasks are being assumed by HR Business Part- ners in close cooperation with the business units. At the same time executives are enjoying optimum support for the completion of administrative tasks, which form part of their HR responsibil- ities, through significantly improved self-services and a dedicated call center, the HR Manager Line. In this way we can offer speedy, unbureaucratic and, where possible, automated administration processes. HR@2012. For efficient, powerful HR work.
