Medical Equipment Manufacturer Delivers Unified HR Strategy with SAP SuccessFactors
Like many large enterprises that grew through acquisitions, a medical equipment manufacturer ended up with multiple HR tools and technologies. As part of its “One Company” initiative, the organization wanted a single HR talent management solution to unify employees across all locations.
To achieve this, the company standardized on a cloud-based platform for talent processes, including learning and performance management. With SAP® SuccessFactors® implemented by Rizing, the organization achieved cost savings, increased agility, and improved employee engagement.
Company Overview
The company is a global leader in medical equipment and life sciences technology, building innovative industrial, optical, and digital solutions. Its products enable specialists to look inside the human body, advance scientific research, and ensure public safety. Throughout its history, the organization has focused on making lives healthier, safer, and more fulfilling.
The Challenge
Managing Multiple Talent Systems
The organization had various HR tools in use across different business units. These systems were redundant, not integrated, and lacked a consistent approach to talent management. Goal setting, performance reviews, and training were handled differently across locations, creating inefficiencies and limiting scalability.
