"Given the exponential growth of technology in people's day-to-day life, expectations from our people when they come to work are constantly increasing," said Alain Labouverie, head of Talent Analytics & Technology at UCB. "At UCB we are committed to creating the right conditions at work so that people are engaged to achieve our end goal, which is to create value for our patients. To get there, we need to keep up with the pace of change and provide consumer-grade talent solutions that are simple to use, easy to access and intelligent. We need our people to be agile and able to quickly adapt their focus to where their impact is maximized. This is heavily dependent on our capacity to free up time by generating efficiencies. Automation is a key enabler, augmenting what our people can do, so that they can deliver on what is truly human."

Like many organizations, UCB faced a fragmented HR systems landscape. To improve the speed and quality of critical business decisions, UCB knew it needed accurate and actionable insights across its pool of talent. With the SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central, SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting, SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding, SAP SuccessFactors Performance & Goals, SAP SuccessFactors Learning and SAP SuccessFactors Succession & Development solutions now live around the world, the company is 100 percent in the cloud and mobile enabled. Migrating to one system of record in the cloud has brough all UCB's people data in one place, enabling the company to better understand and nurture its talent across the globe and match employees' individual aspirations with company priorities.



With their powerful analytics capabilities, SAP SuccessFactors solutions provide UCB with high-quality data coupled with statistical modeling that makes that data meaningful. With accurate people data at their fingertips, managers and HR business partners can make more intelligent workforce decisions, and employees can take control of their career development using self-service capabilities available on all types of devices.

"If organizations do not put people first, they will be left behind," SAP SuccessFactors President Greg Tomb said. "Leading companies like UCB recognize the importance of using technology to augment what their people can do so they can focus on, and deliver, higher impact results. We are excited to partner with UCB to help provide an enhanced employee experience with learning and development opportunities, while also ensuring employee data is protected across operations in cloud solutions from SAP."
