What we offer

Company Overview

SAP SuccessFactors

• The experience economy has changed the way businesses compete – what you deliver is only one part of why people buy from you, work for you, and connect with your brand.
• Today, the total experience you offer drives customer and employee decisions and defines their loyalty.
• Today, good experiences are table stakes, and it takes great experiences to deliver differentiation, engagement, profitability and lasting growth.
• Today, you can’t hide mediocrity, because anyone can easily find detailed critiques of every slip or setback. And today, expectations are higher than they’ve ever been…until tomorrow.
• That’s why “employee experience” is a phrase that’s driving conversations throughout the HR category and across businesses – it’s a priority because of the impact experience has on engagement, retention, and the bottom-line.
• SAP SuccessFactors is introducing human experience management – or HXM – to entirely reinvent the entire employee experience, and equip organizations to create the kind of engagement that delivers consistent and measured improvement in performance.
