SAP HCM Insights

In our year-end podcast we reflect on what stood out for us in 2017 and how we want to see that change or improve in 2018. Joining me were Amy Grubb, Brandon Toombs, Luke Marson and Jarret Pazahanick. It turned out to be a lengthy discussion so we present it here in two parts: Part 1 is all about payroll, and part 2 is about the rest: EC, on-boarding, recruitment, GDPR and more.

Amy mentioned her recent book on Recruiting and Onboarding - which is great - you can check it out at SAP Press.

I mentioned my blog series on Future Payroll in this part 1 - you can read those blogs at www.insightcp.com. And shortly after we recorded this, SAP SuccessFactors announced a new option for on-premise HCM customers to extend their software usage on to the S/4HANA platform - sounds interesting and the details will matter a lot on this.

GDPR is the General Data Protection Regulation, defining data protection requirements for the Europen Union. Going into force n May 25, 2018, it will generally impact HR for any company in the EU or that has information on EU citizens. So this is a pretty big deal for many companies using SAP or SuccessFactors HCM.

Joining Steve Bogner for this podcast are Luke Marson, Mark Ingram, and Kim Lessley of SAP SuccessFactors. We describe the overall impact of GDPR on customers, including concepts such as an employee's Right to Erasure and Right to Access, and actions they might want to consider as they move forward towards implementation of the regulation.

SAP SuccessFactors has some useful information on all this at the SAP Cloud Trust Center, with more HR-specific information at SuccessFactors' Cloud Security and Data Privacy center. Of course you can contact SAP SuccessFactors for more detail or contact any of us for questions too.

Governance and change management are as important as ever with SAP SuccessFactors HCM. Just because it's cloud software doesn't mean you can dial back on these things - in fact, we feel they might be more important than in the on-premise days (quarterly releases!). Join Steve Bogner, Brandon Toombs, Amy Grubb, Mark Ingram, Sven Ringling and Martin Gillet as they dive into these topics and more.

Jon Reed of Diginomica joins us for this discussion on the myth of the talent shortage. We hear it all the time - there is a talent shortage. But is there really? Or is it that employers are not creative enough in their search for talent? Maybe there are other factors at work - listen in an let us (Steve Bogner, Sharon Newton, Amy Grubb, Martin Gillet and Mark Ingram) know what you think about this. Myth, or not?

This one is all about payroll in SAP and SuccessFactors - on-premise payroll, Employee Central Payroll and Managed Payroll. We also talk about Payroll Control Center, Time Evaluation and the choices customer faces with all this. Joining Steve Bogner on this podcast is Robert Moeller, the Employee Central Payroll Product Manager for North America, Jarret Pazahanick and special guest Mike Timm of Integrated Consulting Group.
