Transforming Social Insurance Organizations Through Business Process Reengineering: Insights from Managerial Perspectives
摘要
This chapter examines the adoption and impact of business process reengineering (BPR) within the social insurance organization (SIO) in the United Arab Emirates, emphasizing its transformative effects and associated challenges. The evaluation focuses on critical areas such as employee turnover, workflow optimization, organizational structure, cost management, information systems, human resources, customer relationship management, enterprise resource planning, communication systems, and service quality. Utilizing surveys and interviews with managerial staff and guided by the input-process-output (IPO) model, the study reveals that BPR has effectively enhanced productivity and resource management. Managers report significant improvements in service quality and customer satisfaction, despite encountering obstacles like employee resistance and high initial implementation costs. Key advancements include reductions in employee turnover, streamlined workflows, improved organizational structure, and cost savings. Enhanced enterprise resource planning and communication systems have contributed to better job satisfaction and coordination. Service quality has surpassed customer and stakeholder expectations, while human resource management now fosters career development and performance improvement. Additionally, customer relationship management has been notably strengthened. Nevertheless, challenges persist, such as unclear role definitions, dependence on external consultants, substantial reengineering costs, and resistance to change. The study recommends strategies for overcoming these issues, including fostering continuous communication, engaging employees, implementing BPR gradually, and establishing internal management teams. In conclusion, while BPR has significantly transformed SIO’s operations, addressing human and resource management challenges remains critical to ensuring its long-term success.
