Across many enterprises, HR, time, and payroll systems have evolved through years of growth, acquisitions, and regional customization. The result is a patchwork of disconnected tools, duplicated data, and manual handoffs that quietly slow decision-making and increase operational risk. These systems may still 鈥渨ork,鈥� but they carry a hidden cost on productivity, accuracy, and confidence, as expectations on HR continue to rise and AI becomes central to how work gets done.

Fragmentation is the hidden bottleneck behind 鈥渟low鈥� decisions

The impact of fragmentation isn鈥檛 always visible, but it shows up clearly in how decisions get made.

When decisions stall, leaders often point to approvals, governance, or external constraints. In reality, much of the friction happens earlier, when teams reconcile data across systems before decisions can even begin.

According to the research, organizations with unified HR foundations gained faster access to trusted workforce information, generating insights 60% faster and creating new position listings 53% faster. Rather than adding tools, these organizations removed friction by eliminating manual validation, shadow spreadsheets, and repeated checks to confirm data accuracy.

As organizations look to AI to accelerate workforce planning, surface risks, and guide decisions, this foundation becomes even more critical. AI is only as effective as the data it can access and trust. In disconnected environments, AI inherits the same inconsistencies, delays, and gaps, limiting its ability to generate reliable insights and recommendations.

Consider a simple workforce planning decision like headcount approval. In a fragmented environment, HR pulls data from one system, finance validates it in another, and managers reconcile discrepancies in spreadsheets. What should take hours stretches into days鈥攏ot because the decision is complex, but because the data is.

With real-time, consistent workforce information, leaders can act faster and with greater confidence in their decisions. More importantly, unified data allows AI to move beyond reactive reporting to deliver proactive, decision-ready intelligence.

Most payroll errors aren鈥檛 human鈥攖hey鈥檙e structural

Disconnected systems don鈥檛 just slow work; they also increase errors.

When employee data, time records, and payroll information live in different places, every handoff becomes an opportunity for mistakes. Manual reconciliation and corrective actions become routine, especially during high-pressure cycles like payroll close.

Organizations with unified platforms see a clear shift. Payroll error rates drop by 64% and payroll cycles are completed 44% faster by eliminating data gaps and automating validation across connected processes.

This is where AI begins to shift from reactive to preventative. With unified data, AI can identify anomalies before payroll runs, flag potential compliance risks, and continuously learn from patterns across the organization. Instead of fixing errors after the fact, HR and payroll teams can prevent them altogether.

That structural shift changes the nature of work for HR and payroll teams. Payroll teams saw a 21% productivity increase, while HR teams improved productivity by 14%, as time previously spent tracking down discrepancies, correcting entries, and responding to escalations was redirected toward oversight, compliance, and continuous improvement.

Fragmentation quietly erodes trust and limits AI adoption

When systems are fragmented, trust erodes quietly. Employees lose confidence when pay errors occur or self-service tools don鈥檛 reflect their reality. Managers hesitate to act when dashboards conflict. HR teams become intermediaries between systems rather than strategic partners to the business.

Integrated HR, time, and payroll systems reverse this dynamic. Employees gain easier access to self-service tools, with 28% more employees able to directly access HR and time entry platforms. Managers benefit from real-time visibility into approvals and team data. And HR teams regain credibility as the source of accurate, timely workforce information.

Over time, this trust compounds. When people trust the system, they use it. Increased usage improves data quality, and better data strengthens decision-making.

This foundation becomes even more important as organizations scale AI across HR. Employees and managers are far more likely to rely on AI-driven recommendations鈥攚hether for career growth, scheduling, or compensation鈥攚hen they trust the underlying data. Without that trust, even the most advanced AI capabilities remain underutilized.

Fragmentation doesn鈥檛 just slow execution鈥攊t narrows what leaders believe is possible, forcing decisions to be shaped by system constraints rather than business needs.

The cost of standing still

The cost of fragmentation isn鈥檛 just operational; it鈥檚 financial, and it compounds over time.

Across organizations studied, the average annual quantified benefit totaled US$649,400 per 1,000 employees supported, driven by productivity gains, reduced errors, faster cycles, and better business decisions. Over three years,organizations achieved a 284% return on investment, with a payback period of approximately 15 months.

Beyond these quantified gains, there is a growing competitive gap. Organizations operating on unified platforms are not only more efficient, but they are also better positioned to embed AI across the entire employee lifecycle, from hiring and onboarding to development and workforce planning. Those still operating with disconnected systems risk falling behind鈥攏ot just operationally, but strategically.

The real risk isn鈥檛 innovation

Innovation draws attention because it鈥檚 new, visible, and often disruptive. Fragmentation, by contrast, builds quietly in the background until it starts to limit how the organization operates. But as organizations ask HR to deliver more鈥攂etter insights, faster planning, stronger compliance, and improved employee experiences鈥攖he limits of disconnected systems become harder to ignore.

Modern HR outcomes don鈥檛 come from layering new tools on top of outdated foundations. They come from reducing complexity, unifying data, and creating consistency across the most essential people processes. This is where platforms like 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors are evolving鈥攏ot just to unify core HR, time, and payroll, but to embed AI directly into the flow of work. By combining a trusted data foundation with AI-driven insights and automation, organizations can move from reactive operations to predictive, insight-led workforce management.

The question isn鈥檛 whether organizations can afford to modernize HR. It鈥檚 whether they can afford to limit the impact of AI by building on fragmented foundations.

AI doesn鈥檛 transform HR on its own; it amplifies what鈥檚 already there. And without a unified, trusted core, even the most advanced AI will struggle to deliver on its promise.

But new research from 麻豆原创 and Wakefield* suggests a different reality is emerging. AI isn鈥檛 making early talent irrelevant. Instead, it鈥檚 accelerating how quickly they become productive, reshaping the earliest stages of work, and raising expectations far earlier in the employee lifecycle.

According to the findings, 88% of CHROs say AI is making early-career talent role-ready faster. This acceleration raises the stakes on both sides. While organizations benefit from faster productivity and earlier impact, early鈥慶areer employees are entering roles with heightened expectations and fewer traditional learning buffers鈥攆orcing leaders to rethink how success is defined and supported from day one.

AI as an accelerator of readiness

Entry-level roles have long relied on repetitive, lower-stakes tasks that helped new employees learn how work gets done. Today, AI automates much of that foundational execution.

This shift is increasingly common: 79% of surveyed CHROs report that their early-career talent receives enterprise AI tools within their first month on the job. Additionally, 87% expect new hires to be comfortable with AI on day one or learn the tools immediately after joining.

With AI absorbing traditional tasks, early-career talent is stepping into meaningful work sooner鈥攁nd CHROs are already seeing the impact, with 56% reporting improved confidence and 55% citing increased productivity among those using AI.

This acceleration reflects themes we first explored in the 2025 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors Future of Work Predictions , where we examined how AI might reshape entry鈥憀evel roles. As foundational tasks continue to be absorbed by AI, the question becomes not whether early鈥慶areer roles will exist, but how organizations can redesign them to build capability in new ways.

When productivity accelerates, expectations follow

As early talent ramps faster, the expectations placed on them are rising just as quickly. Several structural factors are contributing to this shift: organizations are hiring fewer early-career talent, and those who do join are expected to take on more complex work earlier in their tenure. Our upcoming research from our makes this clear, as one research participant summarized, 鈥淓ntry level roles used to be focused on mundane tasks鈥攚hat should they do now? They bring an incredibly unique perspective; we want to hire early talent to challenge our norms and help us find better ways of working.鈥�

But with AI removing the mundane work, it may also remove many of the gradual, hands-on learning moments that once helped new hires build experience over time.

With these rising expectations, it鈥檚 easy to see how the cognitive load of entry level roles could increase substantially. CHROs report heightened performance pressure and increased mental effort as new hires try to keep pace with AI-accelerated work. Some researchers refer to this dynamic as 鈥�,鈥� the cognitive strain that comes from managing rapid, AI-driven workflow.

Together, these shifts create several risks for both employees and organizations:

• Shadow AI use rises: 56%of CHROs say early-career talent turns to unsanctioned AI tools when formal guidance is unclear. This behavior may reflect entry-level hires trying to keep pace rather than intentionally breaking policy.
• Inconsistent enablement creates talent risk: 44% of CHROs say uneven access to AI tools increases attrition risk, especially for early talent who may feel unable to live up to new performance expectations without tools to automate routine tasks.
• Foundational skills may erode: Even as AI boosts productivity, 38%of leaders worry early-career talent are not building long-term skills like communication, critical thinking, judgment, and collaboration. That concern is echoed in qualitative feedback from HR leaders as well. As one noted, 鈥淲e鈥檝e observed gaps in professionalism in business settings for entry鈥憀evel talent, from collaboration and stakeholder management [to] ownership and accountability.鈥�

Rethinking the first step into work

As traditional early鈥慶areer learning pathways narrow, organizations must now redesign how those learning moments happen. Our research points to several areas where HR leaders can intentionally strengthen the early-career ramp:

1. Build foundational skill development intentionally.

As repetitive tasks disappear, organizations have the opportunity to deliberately create new ways for early talent to build communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and decision-making skills. This can include structured, project-based experiences, clearer decision-making frameworks, and more frequent coaching that focuses on judgement and prioritization, not just task completion.

2. Design entry-level roles around higher-value work.

Early-career employees are capable of contributing more strategically when roles are designed with the right balance of scope and support. Redesigning entry鈥憀evel positions to include clear ownership鈥攕upported by explicit expectations, mentoring, and well鈥慸efined guidance for decisions and escalation鈥攈elps early鈥慶areer talent build confidence while managing risk.

3. Establish AI governance from day one.

Without clear guidance, early talent may struggle to understand how to use AI responsibly. Introducing AI expectations during onboarding, reinforcing role-specific best practices, and normalizing manager-led conversations about AI use can reduce shadow AI and build trust in new technologies early on.

4. Ensure equitable AI access across teams and managers.

As expectations rise, uneven access to AI tools can quietly increase workload pressure and stress for early-career employees. Providing consistent access, training, and enablement helps ensure new hires are equipped to meet accelerated demands without increasing burnout or attrition.

The bottom line

AI isn鈥檛 eliminating early-career talent from the workforce; it鈥檚 reshaping the path they take to become effective and increasing the value of the work they contribute. While entry-level roles may be fewer, expectations for impact are higher, placing greater importance on pairing AI fluency with strong human skills. For new graduates, developing both will not only help them land a job but also enable them to contribute quickly and build lasting capabilities.

When early鈥慶areer talent becomes productive sooner, companies can move faster, innovate earlier, and operate more efficiently, but only if that speed is matched with structure, coaching, and intentional development. Organizations that navigate this transition successfully will ensure early talent doesn鈥檛 just ramp up faster, but also builds the judgment, collaboration, and critical鈥憈hinking skills that AI can鈥檛 replace.

The impact of getting people analytics right is undeniable. According to , organizations that prioritize insights models and performance processes rooted in people data are more likely to see meaningful gains across the board: 98% continuously realize stronger employee satisfaction, 90% experience a boost in workforce performance toward strategic goals, and 87% see improved employee retention.  

Yet for many organizations, the challenge isn鈥檛 recognizing the value of people data鈥攊t鈥檚 unlocking it. Data lives in silos, systems don鈥檛 connect, and insights that could drive strategy often stay buried in spreadsheets or dashboards. And let鈥檚 face it鈥攖he power of AI rests on data. Without harmonized data in one place, organizations can鈥檛 fully tap into AI鈥檚 potential to deliver proactive insights, predictive intelligence, and personalized recommendations that drive better business decisions.  

That鈥檚 why 麻豆原创 announced , now generally available, earlier this year. Built on , People Intelligence is an AI-driven application that can bring together people, skills, and business data鈥攆rom 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors solutions and beyond鈥攊nto actionable insights that help leaders make more informed people and business decisions.  

At Success Connect at 麻豆原创 Connect earlier this month, we announced in People Intelligence for recruiting, learning, succession, career development planning, and performance and goals management鈥攈elping to make it even easier for organizations to translate workforce data into measurable impact. 

Turning data into decisions 

People Intelligence combines unified data from across the enterprise with AI-driven predictions to help forecast workforce needs, anticipate labor costs and risks, and strengthen workforce planning. And with , 麻豆原创鈥檚 AI copilot, HR teams can instantly get contextual, actionable answers to critical business questions such as:  

• What鈥檚 the total count of our workforce?  
• Are employees being compensated equitably across similar roles and demographics? 
• What are the key skills gaps within my workforce, and what teams are most affected?  
• What鈥檚 the most effective way to acquire high-demand skills?  

Too often, workforce data exists in isolation from finance, supply chain, and operational metrics, which makes it nearly impossible to see how people decisions impact business results. People Intelligence can change that. By linking workforce insights to core business data in 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud, leaders can understand how talent strategies affect productivity, compliance, profitability, and agility, and they can act in real time. 

Building a future-ready workforce 

The future of work will be defined by rapid change: accelerating AI adoption, shifting skills requirements, and evolving employee expectations. Organizations that are hamstrung by siloed data or manual analysis will always be a step behind. 

People Intelligence helps provide the foundation and insights to move forward with confidence. By harnessing people data with the same rigor as financial or customer data, organizations gain clarity on how skills, roles, and costs are evolving鈥攁nd the foresight to stay ahead of what鈥檚 next.

With AI-powered innovation and a unified approach to HR service delivery, organizations can create the seamless, connected experiences employees expect while unlocking new levels of efficiency and strategic impact for HR. That鈥檚 exactly what 麻豆原创 is enabling with the 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors Enterprise Service Management solution, recently delivered in the 1H 2025 release and now available.

Leading companies like , a global producer of natural ingredients for the food and beverage industry, are already seeing the impact, with benefits such as:

• 33% reduction in case resolution times
• 4X productivity increase
• 80% reduction in e-mail writing time using generative AI

Paul Wittig, head of HR Operations & Services, D枚hler, said, 鈥淓nterprise service management for HR is a huge step towards a more digital and, therefore, more transparent and structured way of work.鈥�

The future of HR service delivery is now

The employee experience is shaped not just by big career moments, but by everyday opportunities, interactions, and the ability to get support when it鈥檚 needed. That鈥檚 why one of the most critical HR touchpoints in any organization is the HR help desk鈥攁nd it鈥檚 also one of the most overburdened.

HR service reps at large enterprises often work in shared business centers and are responsible for managing high case volumes and diverse requests, ensuring accuracy and compliance. They may process hundreds of service requests in a month, each taking 1-3 days to resolve depending on the complexity of the issue, leaving employees waiting for the answers they need and HR teams overwhelmed by volume.

But this model is evolving鈥攁dvancements in technology solutions are fundamentally reshaping how this work gets done. It鈥檚 no longer just about processing more cases, faster. It鈥檚 about preventing many of those cases from being raised in the first place. Intelligent, AI-powered tools enable employees to find answers independently, reducing case volumes and allowing HR teams to focus on more complex issues that require human expertise.

According to Gartner*, 鈥淏y 2025, 70% of organizations with more than 2,500 employees will have invested in an HR service management solution.鈥�

The momentum is clear, and organizations taking action are already seeing the benefits: reduced case volumes, faster resolution times, and a more seamless experience for both employees and HR teams.

The potential of AI to transform service delivery is also reflected in recent 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors research. In one survey, 89% of employees said their workplace experience would improve if they could use AI to get answers to HR questions. In a related survey, HR leaders identified self-service and other AI-enabled administrative tasks as the most valuable use cases for their teams鈥攆reeing them from repetitive requests and creating space for more meaningful conversations with employees, from career development to conflict resolution.

The question is: what does HR service really look like in an era where embedded AI has the potential to transform not just the speed, but the entire nature of support?

The benefits of a single cloud platform, powered by AI

麻豆原创 SuccessFactors Enterprise Service Management enables organizations to completely reimagine HR service delivery with a unified cloud platform powered by AI.

Enhancing the employee experience is among the top benefits of 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors Enterprise Service Management. Delivering added value to HR, the solution can harness the power of AI to help search, analyze, and update the underlying knowledge base and policy data, enabling it to better address employees鈥� questions in the future before cases are generated. can give employees instant access to the answers and support they need through collaboration tools, a rich knowledge base, and omnichannel self-service experiences.

For example, imagine an employee with questions about parental leave. Instead of submitting a case and waiting for an HR response, the employee can simply ask Joule the question from directly within the platform. Joule can provide accurate, personalized guidance based on company policies and the employee鈥檚 specific eligibility, helping to instantly resolve the inquiry without any manual intervention. If the question is more complex or requires documentation, the technology helps seamlessly create and route the case to an HR service rep, along with all relevant details, working to ensure fast, informed support. The best part: Joule can be accessed from anywhere across 麻豆原创 and is not just contained within HR.

The solution also benefits HR teams by helping to simplify daily operations and significantly scale efficiency. 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors Enterprise Service Management can enhance HR service delivery behind the scenes with AI-driven case management, automated document handling, and intelligent knowledge updates, working to reduce manual effort for service reps and improve compliance. AI at work is central to this process, enabling auto-classification of service requests, content summarization to give agents a concise, contextual view of each case, and next-best action recommendations to help resolve issues quickly and effectively. The solution can continuously learn from past interactions, helping to make classification and resolution processes smarter and more accurate over time. Generative AI can further elevate efficiency by automatically generating clear interaction summaries, consistent resolution recaps, and professional, personalized e-mail drafts鈥攈elping to accelerate case handling, enhance communication quality, and ensure a more seamless, consistent service experience for both employees and HR teams.

With embedded 麻豆原创 Analytics Cloud, HR teams can gain real-time visibility into service performance, enabling data-driven decisions to further optimize operations and elevate the employee experience.

A win for the business, employees, and HR

With several acquisitions in recent years, the number of sellers at VMware dramatically increased. Yet the company did not have a reliable means of paying everyone accurately and on time. The company knew it needed to improve the experience for its sellers to maximize business performance.

The Burden of Legacy Tools

For years VMware had been burdened by legacy tools that not only impacted seller productivity but also caused significant inefficiencies when it came to business operations. Reporting capabilities were limited and the company couldn鈥檛 support payouts for multiple metrics, which was problematic as the company transitioned to a model of both license and subscription sales.

In addition, introducing new plans or emphasizing specific products or geographies was highly manual, requiring significant time and effort. This impacted VMware鈥檚 ability to adapt to business needs quickly enough to remain competitive.

The Company鈥檚 Transformation Journey

VMware embarked on an initiative to modernize its incentive compensation management tools and processes, implementing .

The decision to implement 麻豆原创 Commissions at VMware was based on many factors, namely the need to improve payment accuracy, gain more sophisticated reporting capabilities, and strengthen auditing capabilities.

Leaders at VMware across HR, sales ops, finance, and IT agreed that what the company required was a system that was both flexible and scalable 鈥� one that was purpose-built to handle change and provided the kind of transparency that the company鈥檚 9,000 sellers would love.

According to Anushree Kalra, director, IT Engineering at VMware, 鈥淲e used to have more than 700 compensation plans that were very difficult to manage at scale. Our goal with the modernization project was to reduce the number of comp plans to less than 50 and make it easy to change plans or add new ones. That鈥檚 exactly what we did.鈥�

The company successfully implemented 麻豆原创 Commissions in nine months, ahead of the proposed one-and-a-half-year plan, which included the switch from Oracle to 麻豆原创 HANA.

Realizing the Benefits of a Modern Tool

According to Kalra, VMware now has a streamlined incentive compensation management process complimented by a system that鈥檚 capable of accommodating various compensation plans and multiple metrics for commissions. The company now changes plans every six months and can adapt to market conditions much more quickly.

鈥淏est of all, with 麻豆原创 Commissions we have a tool that allows us to pay our sellers accurately and on time,鈥� said Kalra. 鈥淚n fact, the time required for commission calculations and the time for processing commissions for VMware has been reduced from several days to a few hours.鈥�

This is due in large part to workflows and approvals that were made much easier with 麻豆原创 Commissions. Now VMware can confidently process commissions at scale even as the dynamics of its sales organization change.

The benefits of more robust reporting capabilities have also been significant. The solution helps provide personalized dashboards, allowing sellers to access the information they need 鈥� how, when, and where they want. This means VMware can load plans for sellers and instantly provide them visibility into their commissions. The company says this has helped to build trust among sellers, which has had a direct impact on satisfaction and retention.

With better operational reporting, the company is also more efficient, according to Kalra. Now, finance has what it needs for forecasting and setting quotas, for example.

Looking forward, Kalra says the team at VMware is excited about having a tool that helps to provide strategic direction for the enterprise. It鈥檚 another way VMware is leveraging technology advancements to accelerate business growth and success.

Here are a few takeaways from this year鈥檚 SuccessConnect.

Build a Future-Ready, Sustainable Workforce

The world is experiencing changes and economic pressures not seen in decades, including high inflation, a competitive labor market, and low unemployment. For talent development to be sustainable and impactful, HR leaders need a clear understanding of their workforce capabilities to ensure their people are properly skilled, engaged, and aligned to the right opportunities so that everyone can reach their full potential at work.

This was a key theme of the聽, where Amy Wilson, senior vice president of Products and Design for 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors, showcased the latest innovations to focused on enabling organizations to solve the skills gap of today while expanding opportunities for all workers. Product demonstrations shed light on how bringing together data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence (AI) can provide organizations the necessary talent intelligence to align their people to the changing needs of the organization while enabling personal growth that鈥檚 more equitable.

The Time for HR Digital Transformation Is Now

Legacy HR systems often can鈥檛 keep up with the demands of a more permanent hybrid workforce model, ongoing market needs, and employee expectations. Investing in talent alongside technology is equally important to scaling HR operations for long-term growth. Special guest聽Josh Bersin, global industry analyst and CEO of The Josh Bersin Company, joined Meg Bear, 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors president and chief product officer,聽for the to discuss how organizations can develop their people to meet the emerging demands of the future of work and the role of technology in transforming how organizations both support and empower their people.

At the event, shared how it was able to transform its global HR infrastructure within just three years through the adoption of 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors solutions, optimizing the employee experience. HEINEKEN was proud to highlight that its workforce has fully embraced the new data-driven HR program, with a 95% user adoption rate. In addition, Stacie 鈥婳verbaugh鈥�, group vice president, Product聽Management, 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors鈥�, led an session where she shared exciting innovations related to suite integrations, extensibility, security, system administration, analytics, and more.

A Powerful Cloud Foundation Drives Value Realization at Scale

Establishing a cloud-based HR foundation delivers value for both HR and the business. Organizations that enjoy successful HR cloud transformations , including higher productivity, increased employee engagement, improved data security, and greater cost efficiencies. At the event, Group Plc. outlined how it embarked on a global transformation, positively impacting thousands of employees across multiple countries. Now the company provides talent management capabilities at scale with 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors solutions, realizing the benefits of hyper-automation and mobile-enabled services in increasing efficiency and delivering an excellent employee experience.

Details on moving HR to the cloud were also front and center as part of this where attendees learned about the investments 麻豆原创 is making to meet customer needs plus key resources including guides, tools, assets, and an ecosystem of partners. Also at the center of the discussion were the available transition paths and tips for determining what may work best for your business when it comes to successfully migrating to the cloud.

Connect HR with the Rest of Your Business to Improve Performance

Your people impact every aspect聽of your business, from production to sales, finance, and more. But when your organization is lacking a strong connection between HR and other business operations, your opportunity to improve business performance is hindered by latent data, incomplete insights, and siloed processes and experiences. This disconnected and reactive operating model is quickly becoming obsolete. Organizations of all sizes are making the shift to a connected cloud HXM and enterprise resource planning (ERP) approach to achieve better for their organization and their people. It all starts with having a single source of real-time data that allows business leaders to make more informed decisions from workforce supply and demand plans and forecasts to diversity and turnover.

Carrie鈥� Klauss, 鈥媎irector of Solution Marketing, 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors solutions, brought this to life as she shared a number of insights from 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors customers that, through , have broken down the silos to achieve better data and insights, better processes, and better employee and customer experiences. As Klauss said, 鈥淭his is when real change comes 鈥� when you can change work for good, both for your business and your people.鈥�

Everyone Plays a Role in Co-Creating an Inclusive Future of Work

People are the critical element to moving business forward. When you make it possible for people to bring their authentic selves to work every day, you create the kind of engagement that drives a better business and a more sustainable world. During the at SuccessConnect, Baratunde Thurston, writer, producer, and TV host, led an engaging discussion with thought leaders from Microsoft, The Female Quotient, and 麻豆原创 focused on how leaders and employees can co-create a future of work that cultivates new levels of engagement, productivity, well-being, and innovation by building a culture of purpose and belonging.

Highly aware of the inestimable value its people bring to the company, Sanlam is committed to helping everyone develop their full potential to achieve even more. Its mandate and promise is 鈥淲e know that your worth is infinite and unique 鈥� and want to inspire you to realize this worth.鈥� Sanlam follows through by giving each of its employees the opportunity to make the most of who they are while they gain recognition, respect, and commensurate compensation for their capabilities and contributions.

鈥淥ur people are key in enabling the success and sustainability of our business,鈥� says Jeanett Modise, group HR director at Sanlam. 鈥淭o compete in a rapidly changing world, we need to attract the best people in the market and empower them to learn, lead, and live our shared purpose.鈥�

Delivering a Better Experience for All Workers

Previously, Sanlam鈥檚 decentralized business model resulted in a disjointed employee experience and limited talent mobility across the group. Disparate systems and data sources made reporting and analytics inconsistent, complex, and time-consuming.

Sanlam launched a HR shared services model using 麻豆原创 solutions to embrace a total workforce management strategy. From a single solution, Sanlam has been able to better manage and optimize the experience of all workers 鈥� both its permanent employees and contingent workers, who make up 28% of its South African workforce. The solutions make it easier for HR, vendors, and recruiters to find, procure, and manage external talent. In addition, Sanlam has bridged the gap between full-time employees and contingent workers in terms of experience and opportunities, helping to foster an inclusive and equitable workplace.

New insight into the skills and competencies of its employees is helping Sanlam to identify skills gaps and put programs in place to reskill and upskill its workforce for the future. For example, the company anticipates that many underwriting tasks will be automated using robotics. In response, it is investing in equipping underwriters with new competencies, such as forecasting and data analytics skills, so that they can take on new roles.

Sanlam鈥檚 reskilling program has proven such a success that the company was selected as a .

Capturing the Voice of the Employee

The importance of making employees feel heard is hard to overstate. By giving people a voice, organizations can create a culture of openness and feedback, build trust, and increase workplace happiness. Sanlam captures feedback from both permanent and contingent employees on a continuous basis, at key points across their life cycle. This insight enables the company to take specific actions to make improvements. For example, when employees commented on the need for better wellness practices, Sanlam reacted immediately, introducing new programs and policies to support employees鈥� health and well-being.

Meanwhile, group-wide reporting and advanced analytics for HR, finance, and other corporate data empower leaders make better data-driven decisions and help Sanlam to achieve its diversity and inclusion goals.

鈥淕reater visibility into the total workforce and enhanced transparency and reporting have enabled us to set recruitment and succession targets around race, gender, and disability,鈥� says Modise. 鈥溌槎乖� solutions are helping us to build a more diverse workforce, which we see as a critical factor for serving our diverse clients well.鈥�

Discovery鈥檚 workforce of 12,000 talented professionals is the engine driving the company鈥檚 ambitions. As such, ensuring that its employees have the tools, support, and guidance they need to thrive is a top priority for the company.

鈥淗appy, informed, and empowered people make productive, engaged employees,鈥� comments Kammy Sing, group head of People Operations at Discovery. 鈥淲e鈥檙e always on the lookout for ways to better enable and support our people. Our existing processes generated complexity, high costs, significant inefficiencies, and high volumes of mundane administrative tasks. We needed to make a change and transform the services we provide to our people.鈥�

Previously, employees at Discovery had to call or e-mail HR managers to carry out routine tasks such as booking leave and holiday inquiries or accessing company policy information. Working in this way meant that HR professionals spent a large proportion of their working day dealing with routine queries and employees had no way of tracking the progress of their queries 鈥� creating a frustrating employee experience.

Recruiters at Discovery also had to deal with a high volume of low-value administrative tasks, such as conducting pre-employee background checks. As a result, the hiring process at the company was lengthy, expensive, and risked putting off talented candidates.

Discovery recognized that intelligent technologies and employee empowerment go hand in hand. Harnessing the power of cutting-edge robotic process automation (RPA) and virtual assistants, the company automated over 11,000 recruitment admin tasks and provided employees with almost-instant answers to their queries via intelligent chatbots. Employee productivity and satisfaction have significantly improved as a result. 鈥淏y putting HR in the hands of our employees with , we have created a culture of people empowerment,鈥� says Sing.

The project was so successful that it was selected among hundreds of other companies as a finalist of the 麻豆原创 Innovation Awards 2022.

With 麻豆原创 solutions, Discovery has reduced time-to-hire by 25% while also freeing up time for 37% of HR staff to develop new skills and focus on higher-value tasks. At the same time, the company has gained granular insight into every aspect of its HR operations, which has helped the company stamp out inefficiencies and realize cost savings of up to 鈧�1.3 million.

Sing concludes: 鈥溌槎乖� has helped us to bring HR into the 21st century and develop an even more supportive culture throughout Discovery. We look forward to working with both 麻豆原创 and our technology partners as we continue to develop and enhance the employee experience.鈥�

Businesses and employees are struggling to adapt to this rapid change. Companies are looking to shore up their businesses and create new revenue streams. This means that many employees are being asked to take on additional tasks, extend their responsibilities, or work on new teams. All of this is taking place on a backdrop of social distancing, which means that much of the workforce is working from home for the first time.

Right now, business continuity may depend on the ability to reskill and upskill a workforce. Closing skills gaps is more than a nice to do. A study found that 64 percent of employers believe there is a in their company. And in just two years, more than 54 percent of all employees will require .

麻豆原创 has recognized this critical need and is offering organizations a , including a content catalog focused on business essentials, productivity and collaboration, leadership and digital transformation, and technology. With ,聽 learners can watch, listen, read, and practice 鈥� anywhere, anytime, regardless of learning style and preference. Employees get the learning they need to support their organization and advance their careers.

Looking out, one thing we can be certain of is that things will continue to change, rapidly and dramatically. This means that reskilling the workforce will only increase in importance.

Digital transformation is happening, whether companies are ready or not. As millions of workers adjust to new tasks and new roles while working in a new environment, it is critical that businesses adopt programs and technologies that improve overall employee capacity and agility for the coming years.

As the impacts of COVID-19 emerge, companies will be doing more with less. Talent redeployment is one way to make that happen, which means that organizations must identify critical skills, essential roles, and employees who can support. A skills gap analysis is required to appropriately retrain employees to accelerate time-to-productivity.

The current crisis highlights the fact that the keys to long-term success are agility, resilience, and a learning mindset. A strategy that centers on instilling a culture of continuous learning provides employees the necessary tools to meet their specific learning needs and sets up an organization for long-term success.

To see how human experience management (HXM) creates employee-centered experiences, hear from Josh Bersin and global leaders from 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors in an on-demand virtual event on HXM in times of crisis.
