Do-it-yourself (DIY). It’s the latest trend. You can’t go into a hardware store without seeing signs for DIY, or surf the television without coming across the DIY network channel. So, why is DIY so popular and what does it mean for you?
I like DIY because it empowers me to be creative, giving me the tools and flexibility to customize things the way I want – from home repairs and remodeling, to car maintenance, to outdoor improvements, arts and crafts and other small projects. DIY gives me the freedom to do things myself that historically would have required the expertise of handyman, mechanic, contractor or other skilled professional.
When it comes to your Human Capital Management system, it should be no different. Your HR system should be intuitive, flexible and customizable, giving you the tools to design the system the way you want. Unfortunately, more often than not, HR systems are difficult to use, requiring training and technical expertise to conduct common HR processes.
In comes SuccessFactors. SuccessFactors is an end-to-end HCM solution spanning the entire employee lifecycle, delivered via a beautiful user experience that is both engaging and easy to use. It’s not just another HR system, it’s built for the business – for use by executives, managers and employees. From delivering real-time workforce insights to managers, to a customizable homepage displaying relevant content for employees, SuccessFactors empowers managers and engages your workforce, resulting in increased productivity and better business results.
