A global fragrance manufacturer is planning the implementation of SAP SuccessFactors to improve how hiring and performance management is handled across its global workforce. This initiative was prompted by an internal review that saw how the processes related to people were working across different regions.
As the business grew, differences in regional HR processes became more visible. Performance evaluations were conducted using different methods, and recruitment tracking varied widely by location. This caused difficulties for recruitment teams to compare outcomes or gain a reliable view of workforce performance at a global level. To resolve this, the organization is adopting a centralized SAP Talent Management system, allowing recruitment teams to manage hiring pipelines, employee goals, and performance reviews within a single framework.
Addressing Performance and Recruitment Gaps
Before this, performance reviews and goal setting were often handled through spreadsheets or locally maintained tools. While functional, these approaches limited transparency and frequently extended review timelines. Recruitment teams were working with different processes in each region, which often led to repeated follow-ups and time spent coordinating across locations. Hiring activity was tracked manually in many cases. Information was spread across files and emails, which made it difficult to keep processes consistent or get a clear view across teams.
With SAP SuccessFactors Performance & Goals management, objectives and reviews are expected to follow a single approach instead of being handled differently by each region. Instead of using different methods in each region, performance information can be captured in one place. Recruitment records are also expected to be maintained within the system, reducing the need to rely on emails or files stored outside the platform.
Supporting Long-Term Workforce Management
The implementation provides a stable HR foundation that can support future workforce growth and changing talent priorities. Performance data is simpler to find, recruitment activities are more transparent. Regional teams now have better guidelines for their processes. The system also helps with compliance by keeping centralized with audit-ready documents across different locations.
