Do you want to trans­form your entire orga­ni­za­tion, grow your busi­ness, have rapid increase in EE engage­ment and lead­er­ship trust – Lis­ten to how SAP changes the FACE of HR! 

As Chief HR Strat­e­gy & Trans­for­ma­tion Exec­u­tive at SAP Suc­cess­Fac­tors, Brigette McIn­nis-Day, played a lead role in dri­ving SAP through their own HR trans­for­ma­tion begin­ning in 2012.

She faced many of the same chal­lenges any one of us would face in a ren­o­va­tion of HR process­es, prac­tices and tech­nol­o­gy. One might think Brigette had one thing the rest of us do not have on this jour­ney: they own the cloud soft­ware that would become their HR sys­tem of record — SAP Suc­cess­Fac­tors. And while that is true, SAP was migrat­ing from a high­ly cus­tomized on-premise solu­tion – one that was on a ful­ly-inte­grat­ed plat­form with the rest of the busi­ness – and one that was com­fort­able for a large major­i­ty of their employ­ee population.

Tak­ing this leap also meant, SAP had to drink their own cham­pagne as a key ref­er­ence cus­tomer of Suc­cess­Fac­tors and the real­i­ty was redesign­ing process­es, chang­ing employ­ee mind­set, chal­leng­ing the old way of doing things, and push­ing for improve­ments and invest­ments in the solu­tion itself. 

SAP real­ized sig­nif­i­cant bot­tom line busi­ness ben­e­fits as a result of the dis­rup­tion. By merg­ing core HR data with finan­cial data, SAP is now able to make intel­li­gent pre­dic­tions and deci­sions about the future of HR at SAP. They spend less time on exe­cu­tion of tasks and more time on strate­gic plan­ning. Dig­i­tal Board­room helps to expose impor­tant data facts to lead­er­ship to make key busi­ness and tal­ent deci­sions rapid­ly. Tech­nol­o­gy facil­i­tates more fre­quent human con­nec­tions through­out the orga­ni­za­tion and high­er sat­is­fac­tion across their employees.
