Most organisations are aware of the need for a positive candidate experience in their recruiting process to drive a positive employer brand and make sure they keep getting the best candidates. Some organisations are also seeing the impact of candidate experience on their overall brand image (“If we reject little Peter as an apprentice, the whole family stops buying our cars”). So, there certainly is a return on investment into a good experience for all candidates to:

From an isolated perspective, there is very little going for the SuccessFactors 360 in this context. The Qualtrics solutions beats it hands-down on User Experience, flexibility and analytics.

What the Armed Forces Taught me About SAP HCM Migration to the Cloud
Linkedin
April 03, 2019
As with any journey, transformational or otherwise, knowing your starting point is crucial for your Cloud HR migration journey. It seems this holds particularly true for organisations starting with an SAP HCM solution, mainly because the typical(!) SAP HCM customer is very different from a typical(!) first generation cloud customer (SuccessFactors or others). Being used to a very comprehensive system like SAP HCM that allows customers huge flexibility (often more than is good for them) creates a peculiar starting position regarding the level of automation, process variation, tolerance for exceptions, data complexity as well as expectations and mindsets.

Do we Even Know, What Really Tough Change Feels Like?
Linkedin
December 07, 2018
Maybe the headline is slightly provocative. It's meant to be - for "us": employees and line managers working in Europe, North America, Japan and other rich coutries. Of course I'm fully aware that managing change in large organisations can be very hard. The pace of change makes it challenging for many individuals to adopt and there is huge pressure contributing to the increasing number of mental illness cases (although, as often as not, the pressure comes from resistance against change even more than from the change itsself). In any case: I'm the first person to acknowledge that the ongoing change inside as well as outside the workplace is very challenging for many of us, even in the "rich world". However, last month, I met some people, who've mastered positive change on a completely different scale.

There is huge change ahead and it’s just as well that your business strategy is recognising that and finds ways to exploit rather than suffer from it. However, the old truism “Culture eats strategy for breakfast” is still just that: true.
If Digital Transformation is at the heart of your business strategy, but not at the heart of your culture – or, worse: opposed by your culture, then you’ll be in troubled waters soon – or in the doldrums.

Modernise Time & Attendance Management with SAP SuccessFactors Time Tracking
Eventful People
March 19, 2023
Time and Attendance (T&A) is a critical application for most organisations as it’s not only directly impacting payroll, but also shaping employees’ experience on day to day basis with more touch points than most other HR solutions. T&A has also been considered a weak spot in the SAP SuccessFactors Suite until recently. With the new Time Tracking module, this gap is closing fast. It’s not only user friendly with a modern look&feel compared to the SAP HCM on-premise solution, but also comes with a broad and growing set of features.
In the first part of this session, we’ll have a brief look at the big picture of Time&Attendance in the SAP HXM architecture.
In the second part, we’ll explain the full scope of the Time & Attendance solution in SAP SuccessFactors looking at processes, user experience, typical calculations and flexibility. This part includes a live demo showing absence and attendance recording, calculations in the time sheet and time admin view as well as a brief glimpse into configuration. In this part we’ll touch upon these points:
• Work schedules
• Absence recording and leave requests
• Time recording incl. clock-in clock-out and mobile recording
• Time accounts and flextime cycles
• Weekly and monthly time collectors
• Calculation of overtime, pay types, time accounts
• Input-Validations and alerts
• Approval processes incl. single record approval
• Time administrator view

Determine your HR Technology Strategy with SAP Solutions
Eventful People
April 11, 2022
During the last few years, we’ve seen lots of changes in SAP’s HR related product roadmap. New solutions, new versions, new names, new delivery options and new timelines have left some customers confused. And yet, at the end of the day what feels overwhelming or confusing at first sight is actually something positive; a wide set of choices for customers to pick from to match their own business needs, timelines and resource constraints. In this session, we’ll cut through the sometimes confusing marketing speak and complex options and help you to identify the best option and roadmap for your organisation.
This session if for you, if you are facing one or some of these questions:
• Can we still use SAP ECC HCM, if finance and logistics move to S/4HANA?
• Should we migrate to Employee Central Payroll or Sap Next Generation Payroll?
• Can I still use SAP HCM Time Management in the cloud?
• How’s SAP HCM for S/4 HANA different from SAP ECC HCM and do we have to upgrade this year?
• Should we use Hybrid Scenarios with SAP SuccessFactors and on-premise HCM?
• What is the benefit of the private cloud edition?
• Why move to the cloud at all?
• We are unhappy with our outsourced payroll provider. Can Sap technology help?
• What is HXM?
• We’ve implemented the SuccessFactors Suite. What now?
We’ll explain all the building blocks in SAP’s HCM/HXM universe and then walk you through the various scenarios with SAP ECC HCM, SAP HCM for S/4HANA, SAP SuccessFactors and other solutions.

SAP HCM in the context of end-of-maintenance, SAP S/4HANA and SuccessFactors HXM
ORBIS SE
September 26, 2023
For many customers using SAP HCM, the announced end of maintenance raises various questions about the optimal roadmap:
When should the switch to HCM for S/4HANA take place?
Can the switch be completely bypassed with the help of the SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite?
What are the dependencies on S/4HANA planning with SAP ERP?
What does this mean for the medium and long-term planning of your HR systems?
We answer these questions, as well as the following topics, in our webcast.
Contents of the webcast
What are the maintenance deadlines for SAP HCM: 2027, 2030 or even 2025?
What does the changeover to SAP HCM mean for S/4HANA and how quickly should it take place?
How can an optimal roadmap be planned in a hybrid approach with SAP SuccessFactors?
What role do the cloud solutions for payroll accounting (EC Payroll, Next Generation Payroll), time management and workforce planning/personnel cost planning play?
When might the SAP Private Cloud Edition (PCE) be worthwhile?
Are there scenarios in which the switch to HCM for S/4HANA is superfluous?
What are typical roadmaps depending on the company-specific context and strategy?
