Driving Agfa’s digital HR future with SAP SuccessFactors
To manage the complex HR needs of its three divisions (Graphics, HealthCare and Specialty Products) in numerous regional branches, Agfa uses SAP SuccessFactors, to create one global HR, still based on the diverse needs of each division. The cloud HR software streamlines HR activities, enhances the employee experience and helps Agfa recruit next-generation talent.
Agfa-Gevaert is a Belgian-German multinational corporation that develops, manufactures, and distributes analog and digital imaging products and systems, as well as IT solutions. The company has three divisions: Graphics, HealthCare and Specialty Products. Agfa-Gevaert is headquartered in Belgium and present in over 80 countries, with a workforce of 11,000 employees.
As the company has always been a digital frontrunner, this goes for their HR approach as well. Agfa wanted to reimagine its HR strategy in an innovative way. They went looking for a digital HR solution that is cloud-based, user-friendly, flexible and intelligent solution to offer employees the best possible support, make them more self-sustainable and get an advantage in recruiting next generation talent.
Gearing up for the future with SAP SuccessFactors
Agfa finally chose SAP SuccessFactors as the digital HR solution that could meet the requirements for their innovative HR vision. It was obvious from the start that standardizing and harmonizing HR data and processes would be fundamental to the project. But at the same time, the solution also had to be flexible enough to answer the needs of the company’s divisions all over the world.
In collaboration with Flexso for People, Agfa implemented SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central and Recruiting to kick-off their mission to modernize and streamline its HR operations. Employee Central allows employees to easily update personal information and manage leave requests, enhancing efficiency for both staff and HR teams. Meanwhile, the Recruiting and Onboarding modules help Agfa attract and engage digitally savvy talent to drive future growth.
Agfa further expanded its digital HR capabilities by implementing SuccessFactors Learning to enrich employee development and automating time management with Time Off and Timesheets for streamlined vacation and work hour tracking. These advancements have simplified HR processes and equipped Agfa to seize future growth opportunities with confidence.
The results for Agfa?
Agfa’s implementation of SAP SuccessFactors has resulted in a global, business-driven HR system that continuously adds value to the company. With a single access point for employees, managers, and HR departments, processes are more streamlined and accessible. This efficiency frees up resources within the HR department, enabling a stronger focus on strategic initiatives.
Employees benefit from the convenience of quickly updating personal information or requesting leave, while the mobile-supported application further enhances the overall employee experience. These advancements not only improve internal operations but also make Agfa a more attractive employer, boosting its ability to recruit top talent.
