The Challenge

Serco, a multi-national public service provider with ~50,000 employees across Defence, Citizen Services, Health, Transport, Justice & Immigration, aimed to improve its HR function. The goal was to enhance the experience of internal users, reduce cost-to-serve, and enable business growth.


With a large workforce operating under a self-service HR model—where managers were responsible for most HR transactions—any changes would have a significant impact on frontline productivity and overall business operations.

Our Approach

Q5 provided end-to-end support in HR transformation, including:

  • Conducting a holistic HR function review with a customer experience focus.
  • Co-designing a Service Vision for each of the 26 HR service lines.
  • Developing detailed service blueprints and user journeys for key services, including:
    • Workforce planning, recruitment, remuneration & benefits, vetting, onboarding, and induction.
    • Case management and HR advisory, including investigations.
    • Payroll, time & attendance, and absence management.
    • Organisation management and Helpdesk services.
  • Supporting the development of a new mobile-enabled Employee Experience (EX) platform to improve manager access, speed up transactions, and reduce manual handling.

Key Outcomes

  • Improved employee and manager experience through streamlined HR processes.
  • Greater efficiency and reduced cost-to-serve in HR operations.
  • Enhanced self-service capabilities, reducing reliance on manual processes.
  • Clearer HR service structure, improving accessibility and response times.
  • Increased productivity for frontline operational teams by reducing HR administrative burdens.
  • Development of a modern, digital HR platform to support business growth.
