Closed in HR. Still open for the employee.
HappySignals measures how employees experience any business service that runs on your ITSM platform: HR, finance, facilities and shared services, with the same surveys, targets and reporting you use for IT.
A decision
Speed. It is the weakest experience driver in Finance at +14, and the UK desk takes longest on expense reimbursements. A third of unhappy employees also say the instructions were hard to understand. Fix the expense process and its guidance in the UK first.
Measure HR, finance and facilities the way you measure IT.
Six things that turn case reports into experience intelligence for every business service.
One measure across every service
IT, HR, finance and facilities answer the same short survey, so a +49 in finance means the same as a +49 in IT. For the first time the services can be compared, by service and by country.
Why, not just what
Employees pick the reasons behind their score, the same Experience Indicators you use for IT. In finance the answer is rarely the answer itself. It is the speed, the instructions and explaining the case twice.
Lost time, in every function
Employees say how much work time a case cost them. Finance scores highest in the benchmark and still costs the most time per ticket. A score and lost time have to be read together.
Your case was closed. How happy are you with the outcome?
A target for every service
Pick a service and set a target for it. XLAs for HR, finance or facilities work exactly like XLAs for IT, and the provider sees the same number you do.
The same ITSM platform
If a business service already runs on ServiceNow or BMC Helix, the survey goes out from the case you already have. No new tool for HR or finance to learn.
Your AI experience advisor
Ask which service costs employees the most time, where a hand-off breaks, or what to show the GBS steering group, in seconds.
In ESM, finance is the happiest. Also the most time-expensive.
Case reports say closed. People say how it went.
Your service desk tool knows the case was closed on time. Your annual engagement survey knows people are unhappy with “internal services”. Neither tells HR or finance what to change next week.

Where business services usually start.
Pick the service you are responsible for. Each shows what the data looks like and what it is worth.
Which finance desk costs people the most time?
Accounts payable, payroll, expenses and collections all run through the finance desks. The same question after every case shows which desk, which country and which system the frustration sits in.
One desk carries the gap, and it is a process, not a person.
What do new joiners think of our services?
No separate onboarding survey. HappySignals knows how long each employee has worked for you, so you filter any service by employment time. The first six months tell you what new joiners think of HR, IT and facilities.
Month two to six is where new joiners struggle.
Which HR requests cost people the most time?
Time off, data changes, payroll updates and system access all go through the HR desks. Experience data shows which request types leave people waiting, and which desks and countries wait longest.
The requests people wait on most score lowest.
Does the office work for the people in it?
Desk, badge, meeting room and repair requests are the most visible service most employees use. A fast close is not the same as a fixed room.
One site carries the frustration.
Is the shared services centre as good as its SLA?
A GBS or shared services centre reports cost per case and SLA. Add what the employee reported, and the steering group sees IT, HR and finance on one yardstick, the way the benchmark does.
Well handled is not the same as cheap in time.
Screens use demo data. Figures named as benchmark come from the HappySignals Global IT Experience Benchmark 2026.
From the IT service desk to Global Business Services.
One experience across IT, HR, procurement and facilities.
Whether it’s HR, procurement, or facilities, employees should receive a unified, seamless experience across departments.Prashant Arora, Director of Strategy and Transformation, PepsiCo
PepsiCo started with the global service desk and digital experience, added Experience Level Agreements next to its SLAs, and is extending the same measurement beyond IT to an end-to-end service experience in Global Business Services.
