Introduction
The growth of the Cloud HR industry indicates that many companies are implementing Cloud HR solutions, whether they want to enable their HR departments to manage the employee workforce more effectively or to enhance the experiences of their employees. Companies are looking for Cloud HR solutions that are flexible, scalable, and data-driven, and the evolution of these systems is being influenced by new technology and improved features.
The cloud-based HR platform, SAP SuccessFactors, is one of the most popular Cloud HR solutions in the marketplace and is heavily influenced by the evolution of Cloud HR solutions. By understanding how the trends associated with Cloud HR solutions are affecting success factors, businesses can be better prepared for future workforce needs and improve their HR strategies.
Trends in Cloud HR Solutions:
- Trend 1: Trends in Artificial Intelligence in HR
AI is changing how HR professionals manage employee recruitment, performance, and engagement. AI enables HR teams to quickly and conveniently screen resumes and predict future job performance based on the information in the resumes submitted. By integrating AI into the SuccessFactors platform, SAP will provide many additional tools and capabilities for HR professionals, increasing their productivity and improving how they interact with employees.
- Trend 2: Trends in Employee Engagement and Well Being
Employee well-being, engagement, and satisfaction are key areas of focus for organizations. Cloud HR solutions are moving away from being focused on the processes and systems used to manage employee performance to an employee-centric focus to improve employees’ experiences. Cloud HR solutions are also working to provide tools and resources for HR professionals to manage the employee experience, such as continuous performance management and employee feedback systems. Additionally, Cloud HR solutions are developing solutions that enable employees to manage their own HR activities.
- Trend 3: Skills-Based Talent Management
Companies are transitioning from traditional job description-based talent management to a skills-based approach. As a result, Cloud HR providers are now emphasizing “skills profiles”, “skills analytics” and “skills-based learning pathways”. SuccessFactors is an example of how a provider is responding to this trend by enhancing its Skills Ontology, which will provide organizations with better ways to identify where skill gaps exist in order to recommend how to best prepare its workforce.
- Trend 4: Advanced People Analytics
Data-driven decisions around hiring, retention, and workforce planning are ultimately driving HR Teams to increasingly use data driven people analytics to understand HR implications. With Cloud HR Systems, Analytics Dashboards and Predictive Models are all now included in the system. SuccessFactors provides people analytics capabilities to allow organizations to gain insight into employee performance trends, turnover risk, and employee productivity, ultimately allowing HR Leaders to take action before a problem becomes a major issue.
- Trend 5: Remote and Hybrid Workforce Support
The proliferation of remote and hybrid work, post-pandemic, has created demand for Cloud HR providers to promote Mobile, Collaboration, and Virtual Workforce Management. SuccessFactors has responded to this demand by providing Mobile-Compatible Tools, Digital Onboarding Processes and Cloud-based Collaboration Tools for employee collaboration while working from anywhere.
- Trend 6: HR Automation and Low-Code Tools
Automation and low-code development tools are both helping employers save time on repetitive tasks, such as onboarding, approving applications, and managing documents. They also allow for the development of customized workflows with minimal effort from the IT department. In addition, SAP SuccessFactors has taken steps to improve operational efficiencies through automation of workflow processes via an integrated SAP Build solution. Furthermore, through enhanced tools for managing HR), SAP SuccessFactors is enabling the efficient management of HR tasks for teams to work more efficiently.
- Trend 7: Stronger Compliance and Data Security
As companies expand internationally and compliance with privacy regulations becomes more complex, there is an increased need for HR platforms (and related services) that can support compliance on a global scale and secure employee information across jurisdictions. Cloud-based HR services such as SAP SuccessFactors are becoming more adept at assisting employers in meeting compliance regulations and, at the same time, providing them with access to secure systems for safeguarding employees’ information.
With an ongoing commitment to enhancing compliance capabilities, SAP SuccessFactors is continually developing new capabilities that enable companies to implement compliance programs globally while protecting the sensitive personal information of their workforce.
Conclusion:
With greater automation, more access to artificial intelligence (AI), a focus on employee experience, and an increased emphasis on data-driven decision-making, cloud-based human resources (HR) systems will enable businesses to operate more efficiently by allowing their HR departments to take advantage of these trends to help their businesses grow. As automation, AI, employee experience, and data analytics continue to advance, so does SAP SuccessFactors, making SAP SuccessFactors an even smarter, simpler, and more complete HR solution that will allow organizations to manage employees more effectively, engage employees better, and better support the ever-changing demands of employers as they enter into the digital age.
