What is SAP SuccessFactors?

SAP’s SuccessFactors suite is a cloud-based HCM suite designed to manage the entire employee lifecycle — from recruitment through to retirement. It moves HR operations away from purely clerical duties, centering business success around organisational objectives.

Supporting the Full Workforce Journey

It offers a integrated experience across recruitment, onboarding, learning, performance, payroll and more. Users gain flexible access, empowering HR managers to manage processes remotely, all while staying compliant with national legislation.

Using Data to Drive HR Strategy

One of the standout features of SAP SuccessFactors is its integration of employee data with organisational KPIs. Compared with disconnected HR systems, the suite unifies workforce data, enabling HR leaders to spot trends, find areas for growth, and act on reliable insights.

Training: A Must for Proper Adoption

Even a high-performing HCM platform needs competent teams to generate results. Structured training helps ensure staff can use the tool effectively, avoid mistakes, and accelerate user adoption.

What the Training Usually Involves

Training usually involves configuration, managing employee records, workflow design, and reporting tools. HR professionals learn how to handle recruitment, configure reviews, and launch learning modules. Hands-on exercises help build real-world confidence.

Tailored Training for Different Users

Different tracks are available for HR roles and stakeholders. HR teams learn routine operations, technical users handle backend systems and migrations, while end users (managers and employees) are trained on basic interactions such as submitting requests, goal setting, and approvals.

Improving Operational Quality Through Training

Organisations investing in training often experience stronger process alignment, reduced reliance on ad-hoc workarounds, and enhanced reporting accuracy. This facilitates more proactive decision-making across talent management, succession, and retention strategies.

Combined Value of Platform and People

When the platform is backed by comprehensive training, businesses benefit from improved visibility, strengthen HR capacity, and build better employee experiences — all while meeting business targets.
