Human resource (HR) management and administration are corporate functions that require the attention and resources of most VWOs. As part of the effort to help VWOs carry out such common functions more cost effectively, NCSS has added in its range of Shared Services Scheme a new HR Shared Service. The HR Management and Administration shared service aims to enable VWOs to outsource some of the HR functions.

The services include Human Resource (HR) Management, Leave & Benefits Management, Payroll Management, Web-Based Human Resource Portal (e-HR).

General medical and healthcare services are often required by VWOs for both staff and clients. As part of the effort to make services affordable and accessible to VWOs, NCSS has partnered with SATA (a voluntary non-profit organization) to provide healthcare services to the community, especially the less advantaged, needy and elderly, to offer such services at preferential rates for NCSS Members.

Some of the services offered are medical services (general practitioner services, vaccinations, etc), preventive healthcare services (x-ray, mammogram, ECG, etc) and health screening programmes.

Design and printing services are found to be essential functions in a VWO's operations, outreach and publicity activities. Yet some of the VWOs do not have the scale to maintain in-house design expertise while others are faced with rising cost of printing. NCSS has worked with committed service providers to develop and provide the new Design & Printing Shared Service to NCSS member VWOs at preferential rates.

The design and printing services include newsletters, annual reports, posters, flyers, brochures and invitation cards, as well as corporate stationary like name cards, letterheads, envelopes and notepads.
