New Josh Bersin Company Report Explores SAP-Specific HCM Best Practices
OAKLAND, Calif., Dec. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Josh Bersin Company, a research and advisory company focused on HR and workforce strategies, has published a new high-impact report, Best Practices for HCM Excellence: The SAP SuccessFactors Edition, that showcases the best current global examples of HCM excellence using the SAP SuccessFactors Human Experience Management (HXM) Suite. By building on earlier research, the tactical and strategic methodology shared in this new report also allows for broad applicability beyond SAP SuccessFactors technology users.

Although many HCM best practices are determined at a strategic level, the role of technology can have a strong bearing on employers' awareness of the opportunities for improvement, the particular issues holding them back, and the levers for success in their respective organization. The third of three platform-specific reports on the challenge but also immense opportunity of HCM tech, Josh Bersin Company's latest research analyzes leading examples of Human Capital Management transformation by the likes of Allianz and Microsoft using SAP SuccessFactors.

By first examining Workday implementations, Josh Bersin Company defined what HCM excellence looks like. This framework was then used throughout all the studies, and now forms a reference point against which business leaders can think about their implementations. Through the Oracle study, Josh Bersin Company dived deeper into how success is achieved, harnessing a range of leading case studies to explain how to achieve excellence. p>Now, the deep dive into leading SAP SuccessFactors use cases reveals how:
Critically, the report notes that the most successful companies do not treat their HCM implementation simply as a technology deployment. Rather, they apply their HCM platform more strategically to enable business transformation and an irresistible employee experience. Other key findings include:
