HP Can Help Navigate Successful Transitions With Minimal Business Disruptions
Although job transitions can create new and exciting opportunities for employees, changes of this magnitude can also cause a great deal of stress. Employers must make sure their employees know that their skills, experience and capabilities are appreciated, as well as vital to the enterprise's success.
HP made it clear that they viewed me as someone with skills and experience they valued. All of my questions were answered in an honest, matter-of-fact manner, and the actual transition occurred without the slightest hitch. Once my employment with HP began, managers and other specialists continued to provide support as I used my knowledge of the transferred software systems to assist in a smooth transition to HP oversight.
Any fears I had that my usefulness might be at an end quickly evaporated when I was given the opportunity to move to a different account (Bank of America). In addition to using my expertise, I received training in a host of new skill areas. Moving into a new, challenging role effectively completed my evolution from a 'transitioned employee' to a full-fledged member of the HP family.

Transitioned from Sprint
With more than four decades of experience transitioning personnel and technology to help clients manage change, HP offers a proven process focused on the most important component: people. The HP End-to-End Employee Transition Process was designed to help our clients' employees navigate through change while minimizing business disruptions, with a focus on these key objectives:
- Treat employees with dignity and respect
- Make change comfortable
- Maintain focus on business objectives
A transition isn't a one-time event; it's the beginning of what can be an ongoing opportunity for employees to update their skills, build their knowledge and increase their career options. Our process ensures that an enterprise's valuable intellectual capital is safely transferred via its skilled and knowledgeable employees, minimizing the risk of change. It's an approach that focuses on treating staff with sensitivity and eliminating unnecessary service outages to minimize risk and maintain business continuity.
A History of Successful Transitions
Employees have always been at the foundation of HP's success – and approximately one-third of services employees are from transitions. So organizations that select HP as their technology solutions partner can rest assured their employees are joining others who made the same journey. Their success – and our clients' – is the result of the ideal combination of a perfect mix of people, technology and experience.
We have extensive experience bringing new employees into an organization through outsourcing relationships. Our proven, adaptable transition process resulted in the successful transfer of more than 170,000 employees. HP has a 99 percent acceptance rate, and the retention rate of transitioned employees after one year of employment has consistently remained above 90 percent.
Meeting Individual Needs and Enterprise Goals
The HP HR solution met or exceeded how we wanted to treat our associates and was the deciding factor in choosing HP as our outsourcing partner. Pricing and solution were deemed to be comparable with the other candidates.
We found HP to be very reasonable and flexible to the activities leading up to and including the transition. Any situations that occurred and were not addressed in the contract were addressed in a give-and-take manner.
100 percent of our associates were offered an HP position and accepted their employment offer. It was an extremely smooth transition and was virtually transparent to our customers.

In the services business as in any other kind of business, an organization's employees are the true differentiator. To keep our people motivated, inspired and challenged, HP encourages continuous learning and career development opportunities. Transitioned employees have the same opportunities for career development and growth as existing employees. The proven HP approach streamlines the transition process, ensuring each employee's individual needs are met while maintaining business continuity. It's an end-to-end solution that can yield significant benefits:
- Maintain required service levels during the transition through proven project and change-management methodologies

- Retain key talent and manage intellectual capital by implementing proven retention strategies
- Minimize business disruptions by providing meticulous ongoing planning
- Gain an integrated, enterprisewide human resource capability and globally defined, standardized core processes
In challenging economic times, change is inevitable, but its effects on transitioning employees can be greatly reduced and its risks minimized. Protecting the experience, skills and morale of these valuable human resources is critical – and the right thing to do.
