Built for modern workforces, SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central can help companies automate core HR processes, deliver intuitive employee self-services, track time and absences – and much more.

The People Profile (formerly Employee Profile) provides managers with an overview of their team’s performance history, professional skills and work experience. Each employee creates their own profile by entering their work history and business qualifications, which you can review for talent planning purposes.

Through seamless integration with the talent modules, EC provides the ability to make more impactful workforce decisions. By using complete employee profiles, talent and core HR information that combines HR transactions, processes and data with social collaboration features and mobile functionality, companies can make more well-informed people decisions – setting goals aligned with employee strengths and interests, promotion and development, all driven by a complete view of the employee.

The Recruitment module will allow companies to source the right talent locally or across the globe. Companies can post jobs to more than 4 000 sources across more than 80 countries including job boards, colleges, universities and social networks. You can give recruiters instant access to pick-and-post global job distribution, while sourcing analytics provide instant access to optimise sourcing budgets.

The search engine optimised career site and landing pages improve the ranking of your site on major search engines around the world to increase candidate flow at zero cost. There is further detailed analytics by job, source, campaign or any number of data points, which allow for quick access to the data, optimising spend.

The Recruiting applicant tracking software (ATS) and automation tools can help you source, assess, select, and engage candidates faster – and help them succeed before day one.

Ever wonder why employees quit after less than a year?  Or better yet, why some new hires come up to speed faster than others? Onboarding is a critical part of a thoughtful talent management strategy, but it is often overlooked as a paperwork process or poorly executed.  More than 80 percent of new employees decide whether or not to stay with a company within the first six months of being hired, and 1 in 4 do leave in the first year.

An unorganized or incomplete onboarding process can cause those employees to rethink their decision to join the company just when they should be the most enthusiastic.  When it comes to best-in-class onboarding, 79% of employees received rating of “exceeds expectations” on last performance review leading to 15% year-over-year improvement in revenue per full-time equivalent. The Onboarding module measures and manages such activities and therefore will help improve the bottom line!

The Onboarding module can help companies engage and retain more of your best talent with a personalised, interactive process that sets the identified talent up for success from the start.
