SAP SuccessFactors, a unique and scalable HR tool that improves your employees’ experience

Until a few years ago, Human Resources departments were focused purely on administrative tasks such as managing payroll, sick leave or holidays. But this approach has changed radically in the last decade. Companies are beginning to understand that people must play a central role in their strategy, and the challenge now is to manage this paradigm shift as effectively as possible.

Most organisations use similar tools and resources, so it’s the talent of their employees that makes some of them stand out from others. We must attract the best professionals, keep them in our organisation and assign them tasks that best align with their particular abilities. With that in mind, having a good employee lifecycle management tool is essential. From our experience, SAP SuccessFactors covers the employee life cycle from end to end, right from the very beginning of the recruitment process to the end of their time in the organisation. Its functions enable an optimised employee experience, and its interface collects data that can later be useful for making personnel management decisions. At NTT DATA we can help you integrate this tool easily into your organisation’s daily processes and thus improve your results. But first let’s see what makes it different.

The benefits of SAP SuccessFactors

SAP SuccessFactors was born with a clear objective: to promote the growth and development of employees within the company, improve their performance, develop talent, strengthen their commitment and ensure efficient HR management in organisations.

It’s a scalable and adaptable tool, which allows you to control all HR-related operations in a single solution. In addition, thanks to its integration with different business processes (such as purchasing, supply chain and finance), it offers organisations a series of unique advantages:

• Talent at its core, but looking at the business: this software aligns the employees’ objectives with the company’s purpose. It establishes metrics to determine if these objectives are being met, and also to evaluate worker satisfaction.
• Maximum security: since the solution hosts payroll, payment and time evaluation processes in the cloud, it establishes protocols to ensure the highest level of data privacy.
• KPIs for comprehensive monitoring: leveraging artificial intelligence and data analysis, SAP SuccessFactors obtains key performance indicators that inform scalability decisions.
• Adaptability to your objectives: as it’s a modular and end-to-end solution, it can be deployed by function, depending on the company’s needs and operations.

By adopting SAP SuccessFactors, the company will gain an overview of its staff-related data: the number of employees, wage gaps, etc. Even so, this tool can be used in multiple ways, and its effect on results will depend on the sector in which the company operates, or the purpose behind its implementation. One of its main benefits is that, by improving the employee experience, it increases engagement and productivity while reducing staff turnover.

Modularity and constant evolution to adapt to users

The aim of any organisation that wants to be an intelligent company must be the total transformation of its human resources function. However, not all companies are ready to face such a change, so the speed of transformation will depend to a large extent on each firm’s level of maturity.

This is why the success of SAP SuccessFactors lies in the modularity mentioned earlier. It’s a flexible, cloud-based solution that’s suitable both for companies that want short-term deployment and those that need a process of long-term change. Along the way, the most problematic, out-of-step areas will be identified so they can be focused on first and foremost. This software can be especially beneficial in the following areas:

• Diversity, equal conditions and inclusion.
• Attracting talent, with the appropriate training the organisation requires.
• Corporate culture and brand image.
• Employee development and promotions.
• Alignment between functions and posts.

Furthermore, it’s a tool that evolves to improve its interface usability and provide more accurate analytics. Its latest functions include a generative-AI-powered personal assistant that makes it easier for users to work, and allows them to make better use of the information provided by the data.
