A confusing benefits enrollment experience is a significant source of frustration for many employees and can leave them feeling uncertain about their benefits elections. The majority of employees struggle to understand their benefits options and navigate through the enrollment process.

As a result, many employees choose to simply roll over their previous year鈥檚 elections rather than review and update their choices to ensure they are getting the most out of their benefits. This often leads to missed opportunities to take advantage of lower-cost options or benefits that are a better fit for them and their family and can even lead to increased attrition of top talent.

With the first half 2024 release, updates to the solution can enable you to empower your employees to take control of their benefits with an intuitive guided enrollment experience.

Making Benefits Enrollment More Seamless, Simple, and Intuitive

The new benefits enrollment experience in听 introduces a process-driven approach to benefits enrollment that helps simplify and streamline the activity. Available for insurance, savings plans, and pension benefit types, this new enrollment experience can enable employees to make better, more informed benefits choices without the unnecessary hurdles.

Real-time benefits eligibility updates help employees continually understand the choices and options available by presenting them with all the benefits for which they are eligible to enroll.

Customizable text and instructions enable a tailored enrollment experience aligned with organizational policies.

Flexible Framework

Benefits admins can now have more flexibility in designing the enrollment experience to meet their organization鈥檚 needs with a new framework that helps support the capture of life insurance guaranteed issue amounts, customizable terms and conditions, and enhanced localization capabilities.

Anytime, Anywhere Access

Employee Educational Resources

Simplified on-screen access to additional resources and information helps employees better understand their benefits and can promote more informed decision-making throughout the enrollment process.

Side-by-side benefit plan comparisons of costs and plan details help employees assess their plan options and select the best-fit plan. Localizable instructional text on each page helps ensure that the benefits and enrollment processes are well understood. Additionally, flexible options for defining contribution amounts within the IRS limits can make it easier for employees to make decisions regarding savings plans and pension elections.

Consolidated Benefits Enrollment Process

Employees can complete all benefits-related tasks including reviewing and updating dependents, completing health declarations, enrolling in benefits, managing beneficiaries, and more through a single consolidated process, helping to improve employee engagement and satisfaction.

, a consultancy and 疯拍传媒 partner based in Cologne, Germany, emerged stronger and better positioned to serve its clients following a that brought together three former consultancies: Axxiome Health, ConVista Consulting, and enowa. With 25 years of experience delivering transformation projects to its clients, Convista used that expertise in its own rebranding to present its capabilities to clients and employees: a vibrant people culture as well as a respected and trusted brand supported by for ERP and for core HR.

鈥淭rust and transparency are common values that we share at Convista,鈥� declares Convista CEO Martin Hinz. 鈥淐ombined with a dynamic team spirit and passion, it鈥檚 what we bring to our clients every day.鈥�

With a workforce of around 1,200 employees, Convista has made a name for itself through its dedication and expertise providing end-to-end solutions to clients throughout the world with a presence in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Spain, Brazil, Israel, and further locations across the globe. It supports client projects primarily in four sectors: insurance, industry, healthcare, and energy/utilities. In recent years, Convista has twice been awarded 疯拍传媒 in the Financial Services sector.

鈥淎t Convista you meet everyone on the same level, independent of your skill level or where you are in your career,鈥� says Stefanie Weber, project lead of People and Culture 鈥� HR Systems, Convista. 鈥淎lso, when we’re working with customers, we try to approach them at eye level, which makes quite a good working environment. The implementation of 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors came as a natural extension to our brand and our culture.鈥�

The Challenges of Data Siloed in Three Systems

Weber says one of the reasons she joined Convista in 2012 while studying business at university was the high priority its leaders place on trust and transparency, values that permeate the entire organization and empower employees in their work and career development. 鈥淭rust is one of our main values,鈥� she underscores. 鈥淎lso, the trust that people are willing to do their best to get motivated and move the company ahead.鈥�

Convista grew quickly both organically and as a result of mergers with other consultancies. In 2019, IT service provider Axxiome Health joined the ConVista Group to deepen the organization鈥檚 expertise in the health insurance sector. In 2021, enowa joined the group, infusing its knowledge of industries and insurance. With the mergers complete, the incipient organization became on January 1, 2023.

Though team members were highly motivated to collaborate from the start, Convista鈥檚 vision for itself as a modern organization was held back in both its daily work for projects and internal services. Using disparate tools based on older technology and a patchwork of third-party solutions that lacked integration proved to be inefficient and unsuitable as a basis for decision-making.

鈥淲henever we wanted to have a report, even something as simple as a headcount, we always had to go into three different systems, collect the data, and report on that,鈥� Weber recalls. 鈥淚t’s just one of the many examples of why we really urgently needed one IT platform.鈥�

Project ONE Achieves Milestone Integration

To build a strong foundation for future growth, Convista embarked on 鈥淧roject ONE鈥� with the goal to have one digital platform flexible and powerful enough for the entire organization. For this, it chose 疯拍传媒 S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition and 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors solutions with self-service capabilities for employees to log time-off.

Overall, implementing 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors Employee Central with 疯拍传媒 S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition can result in streamlined HR processes; end-to-end integration with seamless connectivity between HR and finance functions for accurate and up-to-date employee data across the organization; greater transparency of data for analytics and reporting on workforce trends, costs, and profitability to enable better strategic planning and resource allocation; and compliance with regulatory requirements and data security.

Among the key advantages is the ability for employees to access their own HR-related information, such as personal details and time-off balances. This self-service capability helps empower employees, improve transparency, and enhance the overall employee experience.

Convista鈥檚 project team decided for a phased approach to the implementation by first introducing the 疯拍传媒 solutions in Poland and later in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland 鈥� with 疯拍传媒 S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition planned to launch in the German-speaking countries during the course of 2024. To optimize success, the project team used the combined best practices of Convista and 疯拍传媒 and hosted regular meetings that provided clear communication to steer the project. 鈥淲e were always aligned on the requirements of the other teams,鈥� says Weber, who managed the HR workstream. 鈥淲e all knew the main goal of the implementation. This was helpful for everyone on the project.鈥�

In-house experts from Convista certified on 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors solutions contributed valuable knowledge for the implementation. Consultants from 疯拍传媒 Services and Support successfully integrated the cost center replication from 疯拍传媒 S/4HANA Cloud to 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors and the workforce replication from 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors to 疯拍传媒 S/4HANA Cloud, and delivered a detailed administration guide on the integration setup for Convista. Additionally, they provided an overview, the architecture guidance, and the navigation through major hurdles in performing the configuration to set up identity access governence (IAG), identity provisioning service (IPS), and identity authentication services (IAS). The 疯拍传媒 Early Adopter Care program supported Convista for the master data integration (MDI) during the implementation and helped to solve all roadblocks efficiently.

On January 1, 2023, Convista鈥檚 80-person team in Poland was the first to go live with the new 疯拍传媒 solutions. 鈥淚t was really a great experience for them and quite an advancement,鈥� says Weber, citing the benefits of the new solutions that provide optimizations and intuitive workflows. The project took a pivotal turn on January 1, 2024, with the launch of 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors solutions for Convista鈥檚 800 employees in the German-speaking countries.

鈥淭he biggest milestone was to have [疯拍传媒 S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition and 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors Employee Central] speaking with each other,鈥� says Weber, who emphasizes how valuable it is for the team 鈥渢o have an end-to-end process within one platform.鈥� With an integrated IT platform in place, she says that it is no longer necessary to do workflows, authorizations, or any other processes in other systems.

The seamless synchronization of data by using a common data model for 疯拍传媒 business applications helps reduce the need for manual data entry and redundant processes. This means, for example, employee data that is maintained in 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors Employee Central is available in real-time in 疯拍传媒 S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition; while master data, like cost center data, flows seamlessly from 疯拍传媒 S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition to 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors Employee Central. Eliminating data silos enables the HR and finance teams to work with consistent, accurate data for all-important employment decisions and legal reporting obligations.

Now Convista鈥檚 team is unified in its brand, values, spirit 鈥� and employee data. 

More Transparency and Intuitive Workflows Are Just the Beginning

Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, according to Weber, with employees speaking favorably about the improved transparency and workflows. 鈥淭he first thing I heard from everyone was, well, this is simple and intuitive. They were so happy about it,鈥� she says. 鈥淭hey are big fans of the mobile application. They find it very transparent and easy to use.鈥�

For some colleagues, the new solution lets them view their own data for the first time. 鈥淲hen we went live, everyone was viewing their profile,鈥� says Weber. 鈥淭his was also quite new that you are able to see what data is maintained for your person, your address, but also job information 鈥� to view it and have this transparency. People like this very much and also the ability to have the self-services in 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors.鈥�

To strengthen communication between HR and employees, Convista will bring more people processes onto the new digital platform. In fact, the team very recently implemented the 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors Performance & Goals solution for annual employee appraisals, goal setting, and project feedback. 鈥淚t鈥檚 just the beginning,鈥� Weber says. 鈥淭here鈥檚 still a lot of work ahead of us.鈥�

Hinz says, 鈥淲e have been careful to preserve our workplace culture during the transformation. Now that we are rebranded as one organization, we are seeing the benefits of that early effort. With 疯拍传媒, we now have the digital platform to build people-centered processes that advance our vision as a unified, high-performing organization serving our clients.鈥�

Global specialty materials company overcame its HR reporting challenges by implementing story reports in 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors solutions, making its reporting easier and more efficient. For example, a standard talent report 鈥� once a labor-intensive task that took several days of precious time 鈥� is now generated in under two hours complete with detailed graphics that are continuously updated with live data. Indeed, an 疯拍传媒 found that with the analytics tools available in 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors solutions, customers reported a 74% decrease in time spent on report generation, saving days and even weeks on HR reporting.  

鈥淭he ability to give our [HR] information to leaders as they need it is huge,鈥� says Nina Nabors, manager of Talent Systems, Eastman. She summarizes the transformation in improvement over past reporting methods. 鈥淏efore, it was lagging data. It was never data that was live. Having that benefit of building the story report in 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors and it continuously updating with the latest information is very nice.鈥�

Based in Tennessee, U.S., Eastman Chemical Company was founded in 1920 as a subsidiary of Eastman Kodak. It has a workforce of 14,000 employees in 15 countries. Energized in its purpose to 鈥渆nhance the quality of life in a material way,鈥� Eastman engages with customers in 100 countries to deliver innovative materials found in items people use every day, including safe, durable medical materials; premium plastics for eyewear frames and lenses; food and beverage packaging; sustainable fibers for luxury home furnishings; and energy-efficient window glass for the construction industry, among others.

Cloud HR Delivers Sustainable Value with Exceptional Employee Experience

To future-proof its workforce, Eastman set itself up for success by moving to the cloud with 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors solutions. Eastman was already using an on-premise human capital management (HCM) solution from 疯拍传媒, but wanted the scalability and cost-effectiveness of a cloud-based HR solution. 鈥淒elivering [HR] services in the cloud gives us an opportunity to make the technology available to our employees in a way that is more sustainable than having it housed on our servers,鈥� says Nabors.

Prachi Sathe, director of Global HR Technology and Solutions, Eastman, underscores the value of receiving the latest innovations and new features with each biannual 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors release update. 鈥淲e also wanted to make sure our HR platform is sustainable in terms of how we support it, how we grow it, and how we make more functions available to our employees. Going to 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors just made sense for us,鈥� she says.

Eastman uses a range of solutions in 鈥� including 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors Employee Central and modules for recruiting, learning, compensation, variable pay, performance and goals, career development planning, and succession 鈥� to help harness the efficiency of end-to-end integration and provide an exceptional experience throughout the employee journey from hire to retire.

The 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors Recruiting solution, for example, is a key driver of Eastman鈥檚 talent strategy. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 how we bring our new talent into the organization. That鈥檚 really their first introduction to our tools,鈥� says Nabors. 鈥淲e鈥檙e bringing great talent into the organization. How we do it is very important, and 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors is a part of that.鈥�

Accelerating Efficiency with Real-Time Analytics

Eastman needed a streamlined approach to HR reporting that accelerated efficiency and optimized value by fully using the analytics and data in 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors solutions. 鈥淲e were using separate tools outside of 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors solutions to pull our reporting together,鈥� recalls Sathe. 鈥淭he challenges with that [were figuring out] how we get data out of 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors solutions and feed it into those reporting tools.鈥�

Eastman鈥檚 customer success partner for the plan identified 疯拍传媒 resources to help Eastman increase value from its use of 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors People Analytics. Eastman also joined a hands-on lab session at SuccessConnect 2022 to gain experience working with story reports, a tool available in the report center of 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors solutions. Story reports can deliver real-time data analytics and generate reports faster by using live data from across 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors HXM Suite, displaying presentation-style reports in a clear format with detailed visual graphics that communicate insights in an understandable way. As Sathe notes, 鈥淲hen we saw [story reports], it was so motivating for us that data is already there and tools are there. We came back and started working on our first dashboard.鈥�

鈥淲e鈥檙e so happy Eastman joined us at SuccessConnect,鈥� says Maryann Abbajay, chief revenue officer, 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors. 鈥淗ands-on lab sessions like the one Eastman participated in are invaluable learning experiences. Eastman is a great example of how customers are applying that new knowledge to unlock value with 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors. With story reports, they are already able to deliver the type of data-driven insights that transform HR into a strategic partner for the business.鈥�    

Data-Driven Insights That Advance People Strategy

Eastman began working with a manager dashboard, one of the many time-saving templates preloaded in story reports, and later built its own version tailored to the information requirements of its organizational leaders, supervisors, and people managers. The HR team also developed custom objects to use in its story reports, including an organizational hierarchy table with extensive drilldown capabilities and a currency exchange table to help executives track international labor costs. The story reports, customized with the look and feel of Eastman鈥檚 branding, quickly gained broad acceptance with Eastman鈥檚 organizational leaders.

The HR team recently built a dashboard showing a holistic view to help leaders identify opportunities to advance the organization鈥檚 people strategy. This dashboard uses data from 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors Employee Central and will later be augmented with data from the recruiting and learning solutions. A talent dashboard is also forthcoming to Eastman鈥檚 HR community, which includes talent partners and leaders. Sathe notes, 鈥淏y creating the stories, as its name says, we are bringing various data sources together.鈥�

Michael Glenn, talent assessment and analytics manager, Eastman, is building a new learning dashboard that will go out to all learning administrators and supervisors to enable them to see how many people are overdue on their learnings and what learnings are coming up in the next 30 days 鈥� and how many hours are required to complete the learning sessions. This information is especially important for production teams that work on fixed schedules, as it enables managers to plan the learning hours into the employee鈥檚 schedule.

To ensure the reports provide the right level of information to each recipient based on their role, Glenn intends to use the role-based access permissions available in story reports. So far, he is impressed with the feature, which saves him time from performing manual activities and distribution list maintenance. 鈥淲e鈥檝e been testing out role-based permissions and it is just working great,鈥� he says.

Empowering HR Administrators with User-Friendly Solutions for Improved Productivity

Nabors says that though she has no background or training in analytics, she found that she was able to get up to speed with stories very quickly. She recalls previously spending several days to build a single report that integrated data from 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors Employee Central and 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors Recruiting. In stories, she is now able to generate the same report in just one to two hours.

Also, troubleshooting and addressing gaps in data is much easier. 鈥淚f there鈥檚 an error somewhere 鈥� for example, requisition data that shows up under the wrong person鈥檚 name 鈥� being able to see it in a story is very easy,鈥� she says. 鈥淚t鈥檚 easy to address that error quickly because you can go right to the error without having to dig through lines and lines of data, rows and columns of data.鈥�

Better Analytics for Faster Decision-Making

Eastman plans to build on its early success with story reports to drive more insights for the organization. For example, there are plans to integrate data to track progress towards Eastman鈥檚 ambitious inclusion and diversity , which include increasing diverse talent and supporting employees in bringing their whole selves to work. Real-time information from 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors solutions supports organizational leaders in advancing Eastman鈥檚 strategy to build a high-performing organization.

鈥淲e really believe in sustainability and sustainable outcomes,鈥� says Sathe. 鈥淲e want our employees to be self-service reporting employees and create better analytics that give them information versus data. What we were doing previously was giving them data. Story reports transformed this.鈥�

Digital-First Company for Consumer Engagement

Versuni took the unique opportunity of reinventing itself as an independent company to transform its entire technology landscape. To succeed in a dynamic, consumer marketplace, it had to evolve from best-of-breed solutions that served its healthcare parent company to best-of-suite applications that power advanced, digital-first consumer goods organizations.

Exuviate Transformation Wins 疯拍传媒 Innovation Award

To establish a foundation for future growth, Versuni adopted an outside-in approach to harmonizing and simplifying all processes in a bid to achieve end-to-end transparency. The IT project was given a fitting name, 鈥淓xuviate,鈥� to describe how the organization shed its old technology layer so it can transform into something new and distinctive as a consumer-focused enterprise.

Versuni worked with to carry out an organization-wide, greenfield implementation by leveraging for processes, (疯拍传媒 BTP) for collaboration and integration, and for cost control. While firmly adhering to best practices, Versuni laid out a strategy guided by a crisp logic: 鈥湻枧拇� unless鈥�; cloud unless鈥�; and best of suite.鈥� Considered to be one of the largest RISE with 疯拍传媒 projects in any industry, the transformation was completed in a record 18 months, when Versuni transitioned to 疯拍传媒 S/4HANA Cloud, private edition in all countries.

With the new 疯拍传媒 environment, Versuni reports 30% enhanced agility in its responsiveness, 85% improvement in standardization and harmonization, and 50% increased employee engagement. In recognition of its outstanding success, Versuni鈥檚 Exuviate project was chosen as an in the Industry Leader in Consumer Products category. For more information, read the press release from 疯拍传媒 Sapphire Barcelona.

Opportunity for a New HR

The Exuviate project had set in motion the total transformation of Versuni鈥檚 IT landscape and established new business processes. The challenges facing Versuni鈥檚 HR department, however, were especially formidable: after the transition, there would be no way to manage and compensate Versuni鈥檚 workforce unless a new HRIT system was up and running globally. Relying on its legacy software was not an option.

Versuni鈥檚 HR team chose to help maximize value and maintain a clean core, one of the priorities of the Exuviate project. The team doubled down on the opportunity to achieve a full-scale HR transformation that affected all underlying HR policies.

鈥淒ue to the new setup of Versuni, we wanted to have a new HR policy for all countries, meaning we had a new organization structure to manage, new job family structure, new competencies for jobs, and a new salary structure,鈥� says Amber Smeulders, business unit lead, HR Xperience expert at听 and hired by Versuni as program manager to manage the full HR digital transformation. 鈥淭his was the biggest challenge in our program: it should be a happy marriage between managing a new HR policy together with following the design principles of best practice.鈥�

鈥淭he HR transition to 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors solutions in itself was a massive task, so we ran the HR transformation as a separate pillar within the Exuviate transformation,鈥� says Rastogi. This required Versuni to deploy 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors solutions in less than one year.

鈥淲e did it in 10 months from design to deployment,鈥� confirms Rastogi. On April 1, 2023, Versuni went live in 52 countries simultaneously with 15 modules of 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors solutions, including , , , and .  

鈥淲hat Versuni accomplished in its HR transformation is nothing short of spectacular,鈥� says Maryann Abbajay, chief revenue officer, 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors. 鈥淰ersuni translated a new set of business demands and way of working into 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors solutions, really taking advantage of the connected cloud environment to gain visibility into its workforce and enable employee-centric HR. This is going to bring a new level of agility to Versuni that will set it on a path for long-term success.鈥�

Versuni worked closely with 疯拍传媒 to ensure it had access to the right resources and expertise. 鈥淲e hired subject matter experts with 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors knowledge, but also worked with the HR business to make sure that the design of 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors solutions and the design of the HR policies were going hand in hand,鈥� says Smeulders. With the right team in place and a clear governance structure, Versuni was able to complete the project in record time and fast track its time to value.

Reporting Gains Strategic Value in Connected Cloud Landscape

Although Versuni was satisfied with the operational reporting available in 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors solutions, it also needed cross-organizational reporting that leveraged data available in the connected 疯拍传媒 landscape. Therefore, Versuni and 疯拍传媒 created a solution for its management reporting. 鈥淲e tried it out in HR as a proof of concept,鈥� says Rastogi. 鈥淚t was highly successful and now we intend to roll it out across the organization. It brings quite some benefits in terms of insights into our HR data.鈥�

Smeulders agrees and looks forward to strategic insights from 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors with the connected environment. 鈥淲e would like to combine the HR data with data coming from the other 疯拍传媒 systems to really understand what is best for us when we talk about investment in positions, in HR policies, and in the right talents,鈥� she says.

Complete Transformation in Record Time

By connecting cloud enterprise resource planning (ERP) to 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors solutions, Versuni has achieved three key benefits. It now has a seamless user journey based on a single source of truth across the entire landscape. Another benefit is the increased visibility achieved from the integration with other systems, especially finance. Also, improved reporting is leading to better decision-making. Rastogi summarizes: 鈥淚t鈥檚 one source of truth, one system, and one number.鈥�

Enhanced employee experience is among the additional benefits of the HR transformation. Payroll consolidation resulted in a reduction of more than 20 providers into one global provider. Versuni lowered costs with a 70% reduction of local applications. Localization for time and attendance is now supported. Nearly all HR processes are now available on a mobile device.

鈥淲e鈥檙e still on the journey,鈥� says Rastogi. 鈥淲hat is very clear across the organization is a mind shift change, a culture change. We鈥檙e starting to see that it is much more collaborative and faster. The decision-making is empowered and much quicker. It鈥檚 been a complete transformation 鈥� digital transformation as well as business transformation 鈥� in record time.鈥�

Due to changing regulations, the banking sector has faced an increasing demand for workers with specialized skill sets to meet IT and cybersecurity requirements. This has led many finance organizations like Standard Chartered to tap into the external workforce. Today, Standard Chartered鈥檚 external workers are integral to how the organization operates. But initially, it lacked the technology and insights to effectively manage them.

The bank had an over 20-year-old HR system that made it increasingly difficult to innovate and respond quickly to changing business and regulatory requirements, according to Steve Leighton, head of HR Digital Enablement, Standard Chartered and a member of the team undertaking the HR transformation journey since it began in 2017. 鈥淲e wanted to replace that legacy system, transform, simplify, implement a global process, and really make an improvement in the experience.鈥�

One strategic requirement stood out as key to the success of the HR transformation: 鈥淗ow do we join together our permanent employees and our contingent workers to get a total view of the workforce across the organization?鈥� said Leighton, who presented the project results at 疯拍传媒 Sapphire Orlando. 鈥淭his is a building block in our long-term ambition of being able to perform our strategic workforce planning.鈥�

HR Transformation Wins 疯拍传媒 Innovation Award

Standard Chartered adopted a total workforce management strategy by integrating with solutions in the cloud to help deliver a truly holistic capability across its permanent and contingent workforce. 鈥淭hat kind of integration 鈥� [疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors and 疯拍传媒 Fieldglass] together 鈥� was key for this particular transformation,鈥� Leighton said.

With the implementation of position management, a foundational capability in 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors Employee Central that helps organizations create and manage job positions to maintain a desired org structure, the organization achieved a breakthrough in its HR transformation journey as the result of its clear strategic vision.

鈥淥ne of the key things that set us on a path for a future-ready workforce was really embracing the foundational architecture that position management brings,鈥� McKinley said. 鈥淭hat meant immediately we had a visualization of our total workforce 鈥� our contingent and our employee base. It is leading to much stronger data-driven hiring decisions.鈥�

Standard Chartered remediated 75 interfaces to third-party systems, including outsourced payroll solutions, and migrated 3.5 million data records from its legacy platform. It overhauled processes to achieve an 87% reduction of HR reports. With improved visibility of the entire workforce, where legally permissible, it can now capture richer data for diversity and inclusion metrics to further enable its inclusive culture.

A clear focus on employee experience has significantly contributed to the transformation鈥檚 ongoing success. Applying a 鈥渄eep鈥� experience approach, the team evaluated each phase and decision in the project for its potential impact on employee experience. Approximately 200 colleagues participated in user acceptance testing, providing valuable feedback through surveys and interviews. Collecting insights post-deployment also enabled the team to continuously innovate and improve the experience. Among the resulting innovations is a new employee portal with a modernized interface that integrates adoption nudges and chatbots to support colleagues during the hiring process.

鈥淧osition management was a key tenet of being able to facilitate this single workforce capability,鈥� said Leighton, who shared learnings from the project, including the effort required for change management to educate and prepare stakeholders and the diligent approach to the data integration. He noted that this effort paid off by 鈥渃learly culminating in that success.鈥�

Standard Chartered recently for its success in delivering on total workforce management with a focus on experience.

Strategic Vision for Future-Ready Workforce

鈥淲ith 疯拍传媒, we now have a truly holistic view of our permanent and external workers,鈥� McKinley said. 鈥淭his has not only improved the employee experience and given us richer insights into our entire workforce but has also helped set the foundation for strategic corporate planning, integrated talent management, and management of regulatory requirements.鈥�

Standard Chartered is now focused on leveraging and expanding future-ready workforce capabilities by using the 疯拍传媒 Analytics Cloud solution for workforce planning. McKinley described how the collaboration of the HR and finance teams is building success for the organization: 鈥淲e鈥檙e working closely with our finance colleagues to bring finance and HR data together a little more seamlessly through the use of 疯拍传媒 Analytics Cloud, with a view to actually making a difference to bottom-up planning through our corporate plan.鈥�

She noted, 鈥淭he value that will create, by moving agreed workforce modelling into the position charts, I think will be a game changer for us in terms of our future workforce planning and skills planning.鈥�

With 5,000 employees in more than 100 countries and 14 production sites, tesa faced a new challenge in the wake of growth and expansion: how to improve the HR services and communication needs of global teams.

The company was already operating on multiple local HR solutions that struggled to keep up with evolving demands.

For this reason, tesa set itself the goal of driving digitalization and moving to a single, harmonized global HR solution that could manage employee and company data worldwide. Looking for synergies and solutions, tesa decided to go with 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors Employee Central for its digital HR transformation. Beiersdorf, tesa’s parent company, and 疯拍传媒 already had an existing relationship, so it made sense to follow the same path.

Milliken was relying on an outdated, on-premise human capital management (HCM) system that struggled to keep up with the changing demands of its workforce. A poor user experience led to limited adoption and a slew of frustrations for admins and users alike. In addition, obtaining accurate reports was nearly impossible due to the number of disparate HR processes in use around the globe. It was clear that a new approach was needed. To fully support its workers, Milliken decided that it was time to move to the cloud.

Taking a phased approach, Milliken began by implementing cloud solutions to support its recruiting, succession planning, performance management, and analytics processes. By leveraging , it was able to offer mobile-friendly job applications in a number of languages and to create a more accessible and user-friendly experience for applicants. In addition, an expanded presence across more than 40 job sites helped Milliken make significant strides towards creating a diversified talent pool with quality candidates. Within one year, applicant volume increased by more than 300%. To further align its recruiting and succession processes with business diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) goals, Milliken leveraged advanced analytics to capture data on headcount, turnover, and hiring. Comprehensive graphs and reporting capabilities enabled Milliken to visualize data across the workforce, from compensation and benefit trends to key diversity metrics.

Building upon its initial successes, Milliken began to transition its core HR processes from on premise to the cloud. To improve data quality and overall transparency, it leveraged to manage employee and organizational data across the globe. Moving towards a single platform has helped better support HR compliance and allowed Milliken to respond more proactively to legal and regulatory changes. Mobile capabilities were deployed to deskless associates, supporting the company鈥檚 sustainability goal to reduce paper consumption.

Looking forward, Milliken intends to continue its cloud transformation by moving benefits and compensation administration processes to the cloud. Improving the access and overall experience of key HR functions is an integral part of Milliken鈥檚 mission to support its people and ultimately create a sustainable workforce. With less time spent on operational tactics, Milliken鈥檚 associates can focus on delivering positive outcomes for their customers and communities.

The desire for flexible work is strongest among women, working parents, and employees of color who have shown gains in feelings of belonging working remotely. Specifically, 81% of Black respondents say they want flexibility in where they work, compared to 75% of White respondents.

This data is in direct contrast to what most executives report that they want in post-pandemic workforce policies. Of those currently working fully remotely, nearly half of all executives surveyed (44%) want to work from the office every day, compared to 17% of employees. And 75% of these executives say they want to work from the office three to five days a week versus only 34% of employees.

So, what are companies to do? How can they make informed decisions about what鈥檚 best for leaders, for the business, and for their employees?

Applying a Sustainability Lens to Work Location Decision

One way of looking at the issues of return to office or hybrid work is from a business sustainability perspective. For example, if forcing people back to the office will make critical employees more likely to leave their jobs, you have a real flight risk issue impacting the sustainability of your business. Your business must have enough people with the right skills at the right time to propel it forward.

Another perspective to consider is how today鈥檚 business environment has been transformed by climate change, nature loss, and more. The planet needs change, and people demand change. What if, when making decisions about who comes into the office and when, executives considered the carbon footprint generated by employee travel and commutes, weighed against the energy usage working from home, along with the sustainability causes that their employees support?

This would require implementing next-generation holistic steering and reporting that maps operational and experiential data to show progress on goals such as reducing the carbon footprint of the business. Imagine executives having climate and natural capital accounting at their fingertips, including individual and collective employee carbon footprint tracking.

This is the kind of holistic steering and reporting that groups such as the World Economic Forum (WEF) want companies to integrate into their strategic decision-making. Integrating economic, environmental, and social performance data into decisions 鈥� referred to as Stakeholder Capitalism Metrics 鈥� can help executives serve their own goals, respect their employees鈥� preferences for when and where they work, and contribute to reaching sustainability goals that make the world a cleaner, greener place.

How 疯拍传媒 Can Help

In 2020, 疯拍传媒 committed to enable companies to report on the WEF鈥檚 Stakeholder Capitalism Metrics. As promised, we have delivered to help enable holistic enterprise-wide sustainability performance management. 疯拍传媒 also made it easier to become a sustainable business and reduce carbon footprints with , which can enable businesses to move toward lower carbon emissions and more sustainable operations. 疯拍传媒鈥檚 data-driven approach lets businesses embed sustainability comprehensively and gain actionable insights across the entire value chain to enable companies to transition to low-carbon business processes.

Faced with an ambitious sustainability agenda and carbon-lowering targets, one 疯拍传媒 customer wanted to go further and consider the employee wishes for home/office work, and the carbon emissions generated from their commute to work against the energy efficiency of their home offices. The company had committed to lowering its enterprise carbon emissions and wanted a mechanism to support managers鈥� operational workforce planning processes.

疯拍传媒 built a proof of concept (PoC) application in just one day once the employee survey was collected. The PoC decision support application was realized as follows:

Employee address data was acquired from records using the standard delivered API. 疯拍传媒 Data Quality Management and microservices for location data were used for both data cleansing 鈥� a big bonus since the customer was able to cleanse inaccurate addresses in 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors Employee Central 鈥� and data enrichment to geocode the home and work addresses with the latitude, longitude, and altitude information. The world of geo-location services was opened.

Demographic measures and dimensions were acquired from 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors Workforce Analytics using the standard 疯拍传媒 Analytics Cloud connector.

While trying to understand employee sentiment on workplace and flexibility preferences, a survey was created using Employee Experience Management Solutions from 疯拍传媒 and Qualtrics. The survey allowed for employees, whose jobs enabled them to work from home, to answer questions relating to their preferences for the number of days a week they wanted to work from home and their commute (means and time of travel). The insights gathered allowed us to understand that the travel time to work 鈥� not distance 鈥� is a major factor in determining retention risk amongst various demographic groups and so the information was valuable input for the flight risk tool they had in 疯拍传媒 Analytics Cloud enterprise reporting.

was then able to use external Web services and geo-location services to calculate the travel distance and travel time to work by various means of transport. One of the services was then able to determine the carbon emissions for the means of travel that the employee had specified. The commute travel time by job grade is a leading predictor of flight risk and is easily added to the flight risk prediction dataset.

The systems also gathered information of all the corporate and possible work locations. This opened the possibility for work location optimization, but it was not part of the scope of the PoC.

The data was then blended using 疯拍传媒 Business Technology Platform, specifically 疯拍传媒 Data Warehouse Cloud, and anonymization views were defined to protect actual home addresses from being shown. Real-time 疯拍传媒 HANA data anonymization allowed the application to use actual addresses to accurately calculate the travel metrics while safely anonymizing sensitive data for dashboard visualization and drill-down.

A dashboard was built and refined to analyze and interrogate the employee commute measures and identify specific employee carbon emissions each working day. Geospatial representation and visualization were built and demonstrated with interactive zoom and data filters. A what-if scenario was demonstrated with graphs and metrics calculated in real time to show the specific carbon emission impact of changing the percentage of time spent working remotely.

As shown in the below process, this PoC was achieved using various 疯拍传媒 solutions, including 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors solutions on 疯拍传媒 Business Technology Platform.

In Summary

Executives can make better decisions about the impact of employees going back to the office and how often, considering the social and actual carbon emissions from commutes in their people planning. Using 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors solutions for employee information to geocode the distance of employees from the office and utilizing to layer experience insights to determine preferences, they can analyze carbon emissions for different types of commutes and make data-driven decisions to fuel their sustainability initiatives.

As shown in the below figure, executives can even look at this data by employee gender, race, and age. This helps them better assess, for instance, how many employees have strong preferences and who would become a flight risk should the business choose to mandate regular employee in-office attendance.

Finally, the figure below shows the simple what-if scenario to demonstrate how quickly and effectively analytics interfaces can be built, in this case, incorporating a slider bar and immediate impact of the change for the pre-filtered employees.

This kind of sustainability data and analysis empowers executives to find the 鈥渟weet spot鈥� in decisions that balance their preferences against employee preferences and align them to important goals such as reducing their carbon footprint.

Suddenly, what鈥檚 best for all becomes quite clear.

How 疯拍传媒 Has Built an Industry-Leading Time Management Suite One Day at a Time

Although able to meet most challenges, HR leaders recognize that a traditional management system based on data silos, bureaucratic thinking, and hierarchical control is no longer effective. Instead, their workplaces need a more flexible and responsive organizational model built around four critical trends: data accuracy, interconnectivity, process automation, and low transaction costs.

A more modern approach to workforce modeling and organizational charting requires HR teams — and the organizations they serve — to reconsider how they use available data. Business leaders need to visualize their organizational structures and key metrics based on today鈥檚 data. This way, they really understand the dynamics of their workforce and make informed decisions about their organizational design or reorganizations.

For 疯拍传媒 gold partner Ingentis, this line of thinking inspired an innovation initiative that would provide a higher level of flexibility when visualizing, modifying, and transforming organizational structures with HR data.

Amplifying the Value of Organizational Change

Drawing from more than 25 years of experience in organizational charting and HR data visualization, Ingentis used (疯拍传媒 BTP) to build an add-on application for the solution.

The 疯拍传媒 endorsed app — — pulls data directly from 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors Employee Central and visualizes it in various forms. Key metrics can be displayed along the organizational structure, as well as in dashboards for a quick overview. Big Data graphs in combination with custom visualization rules help HR organizations stay on top of their massive volumes of data.

The application can also improve data quality by checking data according to individually defined conditions and automatically reporting on them. Furthermore, its powerful modeling feature allows for what-if scenario planning through a drag-and-drop capability. With affected KPIs being assessed and updated during the process, Ingentis org.manager provides a solid basis for informed business decisions.

While Ingentis鈥� decision to build its app on 疯拍传媒 BTP was influenced by the opportunity to build its partnership with 疯拍传媒, it also helped create the best possible user experience for 疯拍传媒 customers. The company delivered a solution that integrates smoothly with 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors Employee Central and can be launched directly from the solution鈥檚 user interface.

The combination of Ingentis鈥� expertise and 疯拍传媒 BTP led to 疯拍传媒鈥檚 approval of Ingentis org.manager as a premium-certified application. The add-on passed a series of in-depth testing — from the strength of its security controls to performance measurements against benchmark results — for fast deployment and limited IT intervention to integrate and maintain.

Earning this level of certification from 疯拍传媒 gives customers the confidence that Ingentis provides solutions designed for 疯拍传媒 solutions and delivers desired outcomes to resolve significant challenges. That鈥檚 the kind of trust that wins over business leaders who are unsure about augmenting existing digital investments.

The results experienced by 疯拍传媒 customers when integrating Ingentis org.manager with 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors Employee Central also speak for themselves. According to a survey conducted by Ingentis and 疯拍传媒, the add-on can lower the cost of strategic resource planning by up to 20%.

Innovating New Possibilities with a Single Platform

Whether focused on improving diversity and inclusion, balancing headcount, or assessing succession potential or flight risk, HR organizations can get the answers they need with the integrated blend of Ingentis org.manager for 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors solutions and 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors Employee Central.

Best of all, Ingentis is seizing a moment that鈥檚 available to every 疯拍传媒 partner when using 疯拍传媒 BTP.

Over 200 years later, we still face issues with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). In fact, many of the most critical challenges we face today are actually evolutions of the same challenges we faced over the last few years. Human resources (HR) leaders must understand how these challenges are creating the next normal, but also assess and determine how technology can accelerate HR transformation.

The Hybrid Era

2022 is the year to construct policies, practices, and norms around the permanent hybrid workplace moving forward. HR leaders must expand their conversations around hybrid work to consider reconfiguring job roles, modifying schedules and locations, and determining when an external workforce is the best route to take for staffing.

疯拍传媒 provides the components needed for a successful total workforce management strategy. With 疯拍传媒 solutions, organizations can source, engage, and actively manage external workers. In addition, can surface key tasks and insights, providing an intuitive experience that is personalized for each role and individual.

Learning and Internal Mobility

Organizations continue to struggle to get employees to own their development. It is critical for HR leaders to widely communicate what skills and roles are important priorities for the business, provide content and experiences to address these areas, and reward and recognize employee learning and development.

can offer everyone 鈥� whether they are in an office, at home, or deskless 鈥� visibility into development opportunities that are meaningful and relevant to the individual and important to the business. The can help you identify gaps and future needs and then align the right workforce learning and development to address those gaps.

Intelligent Technologies

Concerns are growing with the rise of newer, more intelligent employee monitoring technologies for hybrid and remote work, but intelligent technologies for data-driven decision-making are still considered fundamental. HR leaders will need to effectively communicate to help employees understand these tools: their purpose, their value, and how and where personal data is used.

With intelligent technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning embedded across 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors solutions, you can offer prescriptive guidance on a wide range of strategic areas. For example, personalized learning recommendations use machine learning algorithms based on employee profile information, learning activity, history, and more. 听By connecting this unique learning experience to personal development and growth, you can help everyone understand the benefit of using these intelligent technologies.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging

DEI continues to remain important in 2022, but with the rise of hybrid and remote work organizations must monitor how flexible work models impact DEI efforts. Involving DEI leadership in the creation and evaluation of hybrid work policies will be critical to ensure such opportunities are equitable.

With calibration decisions, you can analyze historical data and surface important information to managers that may have been overlooked in hybrid and remote settings. This guidance helps managers make informed talent decisions and ensure equitable treatment. Also, the writing assistant in can guide performance feedback that is equitable and actionable, regardless of employee demographic characteristics.

Employee Experience

Organizations are improving employee experiences by balancing policies that benefit the entire workforce with practices that meet each employee鈥檚 unique needs. Personalizing the employee experience can include linking learning and development with personal career goals, matching employees with internal jobs or gigs based on their interests or areas of expertise, and assessing the working style compatibility of team members.

Employee experience management solutions help organizations continuously listen to employees and take insight-based action to improve employee experiences and engagement. Organizations can capture employee sentiment directly within the flow of work by triggering embedded feedback opportunities in moments that matter.

Well-Being

Supporting holistic well-being will be foundational to people sustainability efforts. New policies and practices that emphasize employee well-being 鈥� such as four-day work weeks, comprehensive benefits, competitive wages, and development support 鈥� will become more widespread and serve as a tool for engagement, attraction, and retention.

can provide the first touch point with a potential employee. Articulating how your organization prioritizes well-being on your career site is key to attracting and retaining key talent.

The Race for Talent

The workforce is demanding more of their current organization and, if they don鈥檛 receive it, is increasingly proving they will find it elsewhere. Organizations must develop strategies to reengage their employees who are unhappy and disengaged with individualized development plans and internal mobility opportunities.

With unified talent solutions, you can enable everyone to share more about who they are 鈥� their strengths, aspirations, and preferences 鈥� so you can match people with meaningful work and build stronger, more dynamic teams. With this whole self approach and intelligent recommendations for employee development and growth, you can align people with purpose and drive the adaptability needed for better business outcomes.

Leadership

People management now requires leading hybrid and remote teams, which comprises setting expectations for flexible work, assessing performance virtually, and creating and maintaining a positive culture in a dispersed team, to name a few. Regardless of team member location, management is becoming more 鈥渉uman-centered鈥� and emotionally supportive. These new skills will require organizations to rethink how they select, promote, and retain people managers.

With , you can automate repeatable tasks to give managers more time for employee development, coaching and giving feedback to team members, and interacting with the team. You can identify new required competencies for performance assessments and selection of new managers.

As the only bank in Honduras with a nationwide presence through branches and non-banking counterparts, Banco Atl谩ntida remains one of the country鈥檚 leading financial services organizations and steers financial inclusion efforts by providing access to financial services to the otherwise unbanked population. In all, the bank serves more than one million customers through a large national footprint, including operations in El Salvador, Belize, Nicaragua, and Ecuador.

Banco Atl谩ntida credits its consistent leadership in key performance areas, such as deposits, to the experience and integrity of its employees. Cultivating a professional culture rooted in diversity and inclusion, Banco Atl谩ntida employs a multigenerational team from across Honduras. Strong ties with the community also loom large for this bank, with frequent corporate responsibility activities organized to help people in need.

Banco Atl谩ntida is a well-respected bank committed to meeting its clients鈥� needs by working with efficiency, agility, and innovation. The bank strives to promote access to financial services and financial education nationwide with convenience and high security standards.

Central to this commitment is the delivery of a positive experience for customers and employees alike. With COVID-19, this called for the bank to accelerate the deployment of its digital transformation strategy so customers could continue to complete their financial activities uninterrupted. And for the well-being of its employees, the bank implemented special programs and safety measures. This included a smooth transition to remote work while maintaining close contact with coworkers and their superiors through technological tools including interactive communication.

A major part of its digital transformation strategy involved streamlining its HR operations and improving how work gets done with people-centric processes that are enabled by unifying HR functions into a single user-friendly system. Specifically, the bank integrated its core HR database and .

Linking the 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors Employee Central solution with modern tools for learning, performance and goals, succession and development, recruiting, and compensation management, Banco Atl谩ntida established a single source of HR data truth. Self-serve tools free up its HR team from performing manual tasks and increase employee engagement by giving its people access to the information they need, when they need it.

Banco Atl谩ntida can also embed personal learning objectives and design courses specifically for people who are getting ready to take on a new role. All this functionality comes with robust reporting, allowing the bank to monitor training completions and identify knowledge gaps.

Reflecting on the HR transformation, Mar铆a Jos茅 Rodr铆guez, vice president of Human Resources at Banco Atl谩ntida comments, 鈥淥ur people have readily embraced the digital transformation of HR processes. Strategic initiatives such as succession plans and performance reviews are now monitored and executed digitally, and routine operations are easier than ever. For example, employees request paid time off through a virtual and speedy system, and they can access their customized learning experience whenever it suits them best.鈥�

鈥淚n the long term, we expect even more benefits from digital employee experiences, such as enhanced continuous performance appraisals, which will help us surpass client expectations and foster our company growth,鈥� Rodr铆guez adds.

In addition to its investment in advanced HR technology, Banco Atl谩ntida has migrated its enterprise data to . This provides the technology foundation to help meet the constantly evolving needs of its customers and enhance their experience with its financial services offerings.

As its customers become more confident conducting many of their day-to-day activities in a digital way, Banco Atl谩ntida will be well prepared to deliver constantly updated solutions, while its people will be ready to better meet customer needs.

To learn more about how Banco Atl谩ntida adopted human experience management software in the cloud, take a look at the business transformation study, ““

• Can the business accommodate teams requiring physical space to get work done?
• How can leaders help accelerate the transition to having their staff back in proximity to them?
• Are there any state, local, federal, and customer pandemic policies that should be considered?
• Will the workforce respond to the transition well enough to build a cohesive culture and strong morale?
• How can employees come back with the peace of mind that they and their families will remain safe, regardless of vaccination status?

These matters unquestionably impact how businesses drive enduring changes to operating models, adapt mindsets to meet safety measures, and ensure inclusive environments that support productivity. But when left unanswered, undue anxiety and stress emerge across the workforce 鈥� driving hesitancy of on-site work, increasing employee turnover and burnout, and making attracting new talent unnecessarily tricky.

Building Assurance and Trust with Technology

Just like technology was a critical enabler of a successful work-from-home transition, it can produce the insight and visibility to define and communicate policies and their rationale. And for employees, information 鈥� such as overall health and vaccine status 鈥� can boost their confidence when stepping foot into the workplace again.

After talking to our customers about their workforce challenges throughout the pandemic, 疯拍传媒 introduced the听听as a free upgrade option for the听听solution that is also accessible through the app.

疯拍传媒 is not positioned to offer legal advice on vaccine mandates, health guidelines, and state, local, and federal requirements. But we are distinctively qualified to build a mobile-friendly portlet that collects data from our cloud-based human resource information system (HRIS) solution to help monitor and track employee health and vaccine status and inform decision-making.

For example, employees can provide by uploading a copy of their vaccine cards or exemption documents with their desktops and mobile devices. Plus, by checking the verification field in their profile and following related workflows and notifications, they can help ensure the HRIS solution records their status accurately.

HR organizations can extend the employee vaccination feature to the solution. They can customize vaccine data collection for new hires and existing employees to better monitor and make decisions that safeguard the health and safety of the workforce according to local and federal requirements.

Other areas of the business can also address unique demands and processes by personalizing the standardized content delivered through the health and vaccine tracking portlet. The portlet鈥檚 home page can be reconfigured to include links to national and local agencies, regional vaccine trackers, corporate policies, and organizational information.

Analytics embedded in the HRIS solution can also be used in the portlet to assess health risks securely and confidentially. A report story dashboard provides actionable data to designated executives and managers 鈥� such as employees in need of vaccination and the percentage of vaccinated employees based on, for example, department, division, and cost center.

Sharing Data to Help Ensure Business-Wide Health

The health and vaccination data collected with the portlet can help automate compliance verification. This capability can help meet the requirements of organizations that conduct government work, operate in countries or industries with strict mandates, or have internal vaccination policies for existing employees and new hires.

Automation of the validation processes is particularly important as vaccine-related obligations evolve rapidly and differ for every organization based on the type of business, location, and the emergence of new variants and health recommendations. Organizations can quickly report who is fully or partially vaccinated, has intentions to start the process, or chooses to decline due to health reasons or personal objections.

Businesses can further extend their use of the health and vaccine tracking portlet to include their legal and compliance teams in planning a physical workplace reopening. They can work together to address organizational and individual employee concerns with expertise in immediate corporate needs, local and federal policies, and long-term growth strategies.

Calming Fears and Moving Forward

While the desire for returning on-site work remains mixed, clear COVID-19 protocols and interventions can alleviate a considerable portion of employees鈥� stress. But following generic guidance is not enough to calm fears.

With the health and vaccine tracking portlet in 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors Employee Central, businesses can be better equipped to care for the health and safety of employees and their families through specific COVID-19 practices. They can now understand their workforce鈥檚 health status in real time to identify opportunities and risks and plan a strategy that keeps people protected and productive.

Even before the , we were seeing a rise in the number of government regulations around the world and a rise in the pace of changes to regulations. Throw in the uncertainty of the pandemic and pretty much every organization in nearly every country is looking at new rules for managing workforce health and safety. As the situation evolves and more data comes in about what works and what doesn鈥檛, those rules are in continual flux.听

The good news is that this is a problem that technology can streamline and simplify, as long as the tech provider fully understands and embraces the scope and complexity of the problem. The other good news is that 疯拍传媒 has nearly 50 years of experience in solving the world鈥檚 most complex problems and works to provide embedded automated support for managing regulatory changes in more than 100 countries.听

What Types of Regulations?

Right now, we鈥檙e seeing rapid change in three main categories of regulation:听

Employee Health and Safety
Many industries, such as manufacturing, mining, and energy production, have long had robust health and safety programs designed to keep plant and field workers safe and productive. In the wake of the pandemic, those existing programs need to be extended to include office workers at corporate headquarters, while other 鈥榣ess hazardous鈥� industries such banking or retail suddenly find that they need far more robust workforce safety training and tracking.听

Data Privacy and Security
When the EU passed the General Data Privacy Rule in 2016, the rest of the world had no choice but to take notice, and many other countries also passed legislation outlining how personal information needed to be managed and used 鈥� or not. For employers, this has had a massive impact on how they manage personally identifiable information (PII) of their employees. They must appropriately manage and secure the data, obtain explicit consent from employees to store or process their data, and handle change audits and data purges in a manner that meets local laws.听 听

Corporate Malfeasance
After the 2008 global recession caused by unexamined banking processes, governments across the world have instituted financial transparency and reporting regulations designed to prevent financial instability.听

How Can HR Technology Help Manage Regulatory Compliance?听

HR technology can help streamline and optimize compliance by digitizing and automating compliance management, enabling monitoring of workforce qualifications, and offering learning solutions to bring workers up to speed. It also needs to provide embedded support that goes beyond mere translation and initial configuration. For an HR solution to be fully globalized, it needs to provide not only basic translation to local languages, but also the ability to display local currencies and local formatting for fields like name and address. In addition, it needs to provide ongoing updates for regulations, proactively pushing them forward so systems stay up-to-date.听

The 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors Difference

customers in over 100 countries are supported by more than 200 in-country product managers who analyze local legal requirements and prioritize software adaptations to support regulatory changes. More than 300 product developers are responsible for implementing statutory and legal changes into 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors solutions. These changes are automatically shared, working to simplify and streamline the compliance process.听

After decades of running its HR operations on the on-premise 疯拍传媒 ERP Human Capital Management solution and multiple homegrown applications, the company needed a cloud platform that could deliver on its mobile-first, cloud-first philosophy and provide a foundation for future transformations. It selected for the global and local reach that it provides in both data and regulatory needs and听 an open platform that can easily be integrated with other solutions in its larger ecosystem.

With many Microsoft employees continuing to work remotely or in a , it is even more important today that it has the technology to connect a distributed workforce, encourage collaboration, and keep employees engaged and inspired. Since implementing 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors HXM Suite, including , Microsoft can provide a consistent employee experience for its entire global workforce 鈥� regardless of location or role. 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors solutions will serve as the foundation for the innovations Microsoft is developing to manage the changes and impacts of the hybrid workplace

Since migrating to cloud-based HXM solutions from 疯拍传媒, Microsoft has increased the quality of data in its HR system, thus increasing the efficiencies in payroll and other critical processes. It also has the ability to extend and create delightful experiences for their employees. With solutions including , , , and now , the company has also simplified and unified its HR processes and can access data faster. Not only has this improved visibility into the workforce, it has elevated HR鈥檚 ability to provide timely, accurate insights in real time.

鈥淎s we continue Microsoft鈥檚 HR transformation journey, it鈥檚 been critical to have a cloud platform that can adapt and grow with our needs, especially as the needs of the workforce change,鈥� said Rajamma Krishnamurthy, senior director of HR Technology, Microsoft. 鈥淚n fact, we completed the implementation of听 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors Employee Central in more than 90 countries in a completely virtual environment due to the global pandemic by adopting an agile approach. Moving forward, 疯拍传媒 will continue to be a critical partner in helping use data to design engaging, inclusive experiences for all of our global employees.鈥�

Angelique Slagle is head of 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors for North America.

There was a time when we never could have imagined a fully remote workforce and today, we鈥檝e proven that the impossible is in fact feasible 鈥� and for some, even a preference compared to how we operated before. The challenges that seemed daunting last year are now the standard, even simple compared to what is coming next. How, when, and in what capacity do we open offices? How do we predict the future when circumstances have shown that initial assumptions can been so easily challenged?

More and more, the answer points toward organizational agility and problem-solving through a multi-dimensional, data-driven approach. With people at the center of this, achieving the next stage of human experience will require a strong tech backbone across the enterprise, end to end.

For example, with 疯拍传媒 Analytics Cloud, reporting, analytics, and planning are brought together into a single platform that allows users to continuously innovate and combine people and enterprise data.

Considering a challenge such as a “return to workplace” scenario, things like safety, balancing productivity with employee sentiment, and differentiating from region to region will require (HXM) tools to form a clear picture and take action.

Things like tracking vaccine status to reopen offices can be accessed in through a new, free health and vaccination monitoring portlet. Data can also be brought in from a variety of sources such as contingent workers from software, sentiment data from , and labor availability from the broader market. With the combination of 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors software and 疯拍传媒 Analytics Cloud as part of the , educated decisions can be made toward shaping a clearer picture into the future of work.

Beyond gaining visibility across the enterprise, organizational agility also requires the constant need to adapt skills, behaviors, and processes. Tools that can be adapted based on business needs that empower individuals and teams to adapt and reinvent themselves through connection, collaboration, and reskilling will allow for organizations to not only maintain pace, but stay ahead of their markets.

The newly introduced 疯拍传媒 Work Zone for HR built on the 疯拍传媒 Business Technology Platform provides this experience: a one-stop portal that brings together applications from 疯拍传媒, 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors solutions, and pluggable components into one, employees can access everything from learning opportunities to planning parental leave. The solution makes it easy to track projects, complete tasks, and keep an eye on progress towards goals and participation in mentoring programs. With the employee in the driver鈥檚 seat, 疯拍传媒 Work Zone for HR helps empower people and gives them tools to autonomously upskill, reskill, and collaborate.

When it comes to the future of work, the reality is that things will continue to change. The need to move quickly and make educated decisions will be more pertinent than ever before. To become an intelligent enterprise capable of staying ahead of the market while also making a difference in the world and employee鈥檚 lives, it will require a strong level of support through technology and a data-driven approach to drive emerging outcomes.

To deliver the employee experience to support this culture across the globe and transform its human resources (HR) processes, RHI Magnesita implemented and . With a single, unified HR system globally, the company has reduced the time for data collection and reporting from weeks to minutes, and increased productivity.

RHI Magnesita serves customers globally, with around 12,000 employees in 30 main production sites and more than 70 sales offices, following the merger of RHI and Magnesita in 2017.

With , RHI Magnesita implemented 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors Employee Central and 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors Recruiting in 11 months. It is now implementing additional human experience management (HXM) solutions from 疯拍传媒 to build out its HR capabilities.

TGS is dedicated to operating with efficiency, responsibility, and safety 鈥� be it on site at drilling locations or in offices across Argentina. But to keep employees healthy during a pandemic, leaders at TGS knew they needed to do more.

The company sought to pair the right technology with existing employee data in order to track and manage key insights related to its workforce and the pandemic. Specifically, leaders wanted a solution that could provide this information to decision-makers quickly and intuitively.

Making Strategic Staffing Decisions Safely

疯拍传媒 solutions offered an alternative to the company鈥檚 Microsoft Excel-based processes. At the outset of the pandemic, leaders at TGS began keeping track of which of the company鈥檚 approximately 1,100 employees had recently traveled. They used spreadsheets to note this and other key data, such as health conditions that could put an employee at high risk for COVID-19 as well as any illnesses that could be mistaken for the virus, like the common cold.

鈥淎t TGS, we are committed to pursuing excellence in health and safety. We constantly outdo ourselves in that regard, and our initiatives in the face of this pandemic are no different,鈥� Juli谩n Cukier, head of Operational Health at TGS, said. 鈥淭o protect our workforce and business, we need to be able to act fast. Real-time data on the health of all our employees makes that possible.鈥�

But as the situation worsened worldwide, Cukier and other leaders knew that they would also need a way to provide decision-makers across the business with swift access to these insights. And they would have to be easy to interpret and use, too. So, TGS integrated and adapted an extension for 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors software that empowers managers and other team leaders to make safe, informed decisions regarding employees based on key risk factors. Created by 疯拍传媒 partner iXerv, the new free extension enables companies to proactively tackle the challenges of the pandemic with data-driven insights.

Simple, on-demand access to this information will prove especially valuable once TGS teams return to the office. For instance, if a manager needs to put together a team for a project that requires travel, they can make that decision without putting a high-risk employee at even greater risk. And with 疯拍传媒 Analytics Cloud, they can compile that information into charts and graphs that enable them to see workforce-wide health and behavior trends.

Moving Business Forward with a Healthy Workforce

Due to the confidential nature of this data, users cannot tap into any information on fellow employees鈥� specific medical conditions. Employees are only listed as belonging to an at-risk group or a non-risk group. In the extension, users can filter through those groups as well as employees鈥� ages, another risk factor for COVID-19. It also offers insight into employees that have come in contact with the virus and need to be quarantined.

To date, more than half of all TGS employees have voluntarily registered their information using 疯拍传媒 Fiori. And from there, the company hopes to continue to use 疯拍传媒 Fiori to further safeguard the well-being of employees. Specifically, its leaders intend to use a database of comprehensive medical information beyond COVID-19 risk factors to determine which employees can safely complete certain tasks 鈥� such as working at great heights or in confined spaces.

“We depend on technology as a strategic ally to overcome the challenges of our wide geographic range and other unique complexities,鈥� shared Paula Bezzi, application leader at TGS. “We already had a powerful suite of 疯拍传媒 solutions at our disposal. Without involving too much effort or extra time, we used these solutions and the new solution extension to provide visibility and predictive capabilities to the business to care for our people.”

.

Human resources (HR) leaders specifically have had to quickly adjust to rapidly changing conditions. They are realigning employees to fill critical roles, reinforcing business continuity by adapting programs and policies to fit evolving needs, and reskilling their workforce so they are ready for what the future may hold.

At 疯拍传媒 SuccessFactors, we have been working diligently to ensure customers have the tools and support to lead their organizations through this unprecedented pace of change. At the same time, we have been developing exciting new products to ensure we are delivering that help HR leaders adapt to their current reality and lead their workforce not just in times of growth but in times of uncertainty.

鈥淲e have never been more connected and engaged with employees than at this point in time,鈥� Chief People Officer Twselo Kodisang said. 鈥淥ur priority is on ensuring our people are staying healthy 鈥� mentally, physically, emotionally, and financially 鈥� during this period and into the future. After transitioning to remote work, we recognized that roughly 500 employees were not being productive. We shifted to reskilling, with a focus on the jobs of the future rather than current jobs. enabled us to view employee data, understand where different employees are located, and create the appropriate programming, while provides a collaboration platform to keep employees engaged.
