Let's Talk HCM

In 2017, SAP SuccessFactors published a White Paper entitled “100 Critical Human Capital Questions” designed to assist HR leaders and corporate executives to intuitively recognize the importance of human capital to the growth and success of their enterprises.

This paper included a series of questions designed to help organizations understand these metrics, and to make those decisions.  Sample questions specific to Workforce Demographics and Diversity include:

1. What percentage of your workforce will retire in the next year or in the next five years?
2. What is the average age in your organization? In the last five years, has it increased, decreased, or remained the same?
3. What is the average tenure of people in your organization? In the last five years, has it increased, decreased, or remained the same?
4. What is your ratio of managerial to non-managerial staff? In the last five years, has it increased, decreased, or remained the same? 

SAP Certification

You will see the word certification thrown around quite a bit from SAP Partners and it is often a popular question asked in an Request for Proposal (RFP).  A certification from SAP is an important requirement, especially for software that you load into your SAP system. I wrote this blog to share what you need to know about certification, how you can distinguish between different types of certification and how you can check to see if a product or company is SAP certified.

As mentioned in November's blog, it is easy to stay in-the-know on the latest advancements in SAP SuccessFactors.  The Q4-2017 updates have just been published and they include some exciting stuff on the Reporting front for SAP SuccessFactors customers.  Below are my top 3 favorite advancements in-the-works.
