Shared Services

What is LSA Shared Services?

We provide transactional support in finance, HR, and contract and grant administration for LSA units participating in our program. LSA Shared Services staff has expertise and in-depth knowledge in these areas from which units, especially those with small staffs, can benefit. Our goal is to perform work efficiently and effectively, following best practices, always maintaining customer service as our primary focus.

Why Shared Services?

The concept of Shared Services is being widely utilized in government, higher education, and the private sector. This model is highly regarded for increasing operational efficiency and improving resource allocation and fiscal stewardship. Implementing Shared Services allows departments to concentrate on core business activities and leverage staff expertise which might not otherwise be available.
