Hewitt Associates, a global outsourcing and

consulting firm, today announced it has begun
providing various HR technology and operations
services to Sony Electronics' human resources in the
United States, achieving another milestone in
growing its HR outsourcing business. The first phase
of the new HR services is now underway.

Hewitt's HR outsourcing services will enable Sony

Electronics human resources to focus on its strategic
human resources functions, freeing the HR staff from
day-to-day management of essential--but non-
strategic--duties.

"We're looking forward to supporting Sony as it

continues to grow and enhance its competitive
position," said Bryan Doyle, outsourcing business
leader for Hewitt. "Successful companies like Sony
want to free up their HR organization and resources
to focus on minimizing the cost of HR operations,
while dramatically improving HR processes and
service levels."
"Working with Hewitt, Sony expects to significantly
reduce its annual HR-related costs by next year, and
to grow that savings nearly three-fold by year five,"
said Ed Cotter, senior vice president of HR for Sony
Electronics Inc. "Meanwhile, the biggest potential for
savings lie in the re-engineering and standardization
of HR processes and policies, improving service and
changing how HR is spending its time to drive
organizational performance."

Hewitt is providing Sony Electronics' 14,000 U.S.

employees with these services:

- HR Workways(TM), a personalized portal that

features content tailored for new hires, employees,
managers and HR professionals. Information they
need can be accessed directly, enabling them to
make decisions, take action and link to other parties
involved in HR services, such as an employment
verification provider and the company's in-house
training registration system, and employee self-
service for direct deposit and online pay stubs.

- Compensation, providing services for annual salary

planning and administration, special cash awards and
unplanned pay changes.

- Integrated Customer Service Center, providing

services for HR data management, and leave of
absence administration and support. Employees,
managers and HR professionals can contact the
center to inquire about benefit and HR transactions.
Workforce Relations, delivering policies and
procedures information; providing employee
communication such as delivering and tracking
employee surveys; facilitating employee networking
and communities of interest; and maintaining
employee records.

- Recruiting and Deployment, providing services for

workforce management including job postings,
recruiting sources, applicant tracking processes,
applicant profiles, employee onboarding and
orientation, transfers and exits.

Succession planning, providing services for strategic

staffing including identifying staffing requirements
and tracking high potential employees.

"Unlike other HR outsourcing providers, Hewitt works

with clients to transform the HR organization by
upgrading and supporting HR technology
(infrastructure, applications) and re-engineering HR
processes to help organizations gain efficiencies,
instead of taking over systems and functions that
may have limitations and capability gaps," said
Doyle.
