What is SAP SuccessFactors?

SAP’s SuccessFactors suite is a cloud-based HR software suite developed to manage the entire employee lifecycle — from hiring to retirement. It shifts HR operations from administrative tasks to strategic value, 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, allowing HR managers to execute tasks remotely, ensuring they remain compliant with national legislation.

Using Data to Drive HR Strategy

Among the most powerful capabilities in SAP SuccessFactors is its linking of workforce metrics to performance results. Compared with disconnected HR systems, it consolidates workforce data, helping HR leaders to spot trends, highlight opportunities, and drive evidence-based decisions.

The Value of Training for Effective Use

Even the most advanced HCM platform needs competent teams to generate results. Formal user education helps ensure staff can work confidently, avoid mistakes, and accelerate user adoption.

Core Topics in Training Programmes

Training usually involves configuration, managing employee records, workflow design, and reporting tools. HR teams learn how to manage learning paths, build review cycles, and launch learning modules. Practical exercises solidify system knowledge.

Adaptable Learning Paths for Varied Roles

Training is typically segmented for various user groups. HR teams focus on daily tasks, technical users explore data integration and configuration, while end users (managers and employees) are trained on day-to-day usage such as submitting requests, goal setting, and approvals.

Improving Operational Quality Through Training

Organisations investing in training often experience greater data consistency, reduced reliance on ad-hoc workarounds, and cleaner data. That supports more informed decision-making across talent management, succession, and retention strategies.

Why the Investment Pays Off

When the platform is backed by well-designed training, businesses benefit from improved visibility, strengthen HR capacity, and foster stronger engagement — all while meeting business targets.
