A major global fragrances manufacturer plans to introduce SAP SuccessFactors throughout their operations across Saudi Arabia and Thailand. This is part of a larger attempt to bring greater consistency to the HR processes as the company continues to expand production research, regional activities for its workforce. Teams spread over different locations, the company recognized an urgent need to implement a central approach to employee information including talent management, as well as HR reporting.
The Rollout that is coming up will be built upon SAP SuccessFactors HCM solution which will enable the business to standardize the HR processes and support local operational and regulatory requirements. For the past few years, HR teams in various regions have used a variety of manual and local tools processes, making it challenging to ensure uniformity in policies or get a comprehensive view of data about the workforce. The proposed implementation is expected to streamline the way employees’ information is managed as well as shared across different regions.
Addressing Regional HR Complexity
Working across KSA and Thailand presents unique challenges for the workforce with respect to compliance in terms of language, distinct employment policies. The system used by the manufacturer was an initial structure, but it was not equipped with the flexibility and user experience needed for modern processes to manage talent. Things like performance reviews, onboarding of employees, and reporting typically required manual work, which led to delays and inconsistent processes between regions.
Through the phased Rollout of SAP HR system the company creates a well-organized HR environment. Workflows that are standardized will help to cut down on the administrative burden, and access to roles can help guarantee the security of data. HR managers will also have more insight into the trends of their workforce and will be able to make informed decisions both at the regional and global levels.
Building a Scalable HR Foundation
Once implemented, the system will be able to accommodate the future growth of the company by accommodating new teams, expanded locations and evolving strategies for talent without needing major changes to the system. The modular design of the platform lets the company introduce more capabilities in the future and in line with the business’s priorities.
