Spotlight on Workforce Analytics at SAPPHIRE NOW 2014

[former_member18347]

HR and workforce analytics continue to be hot topic, and this year’s SAPPHIRE NOW + ASUG Annual Conference on June 3-5, 2014 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, will feature theater presentations, demos and micro-forums that will give you the opportunity to hear, see and discuss workforce analytics and planning with experts from SuccessFactors and SAP, our partners, and your peers.

Many organizations are successfully using workforce analytics and benefiting from the insights derived from them to support crucial business decisions and drive business strategy and outcomes. At the same time,  a large percentage of HR organizations continue to struggle in making the leap from operational and advanced reporting to true HR analytics. This leap does not come easy, but SuccessFactors Workforce Analytics can help to accelerate the transformation in your organization. You should, however, set proper expectations that this is not an overnight change, and you will only see true, sustainable value in the long term.

The SAPPHIRE NOW conference sessions are designed to provide you with a practical understanding of how analytics can help to build credibility for HR functions and position HR as an agent of impact.

For a great customer story, make sure to attend the theater presentation Confirm the ROI of Your Recruiting Solution by Using Analytics (session LB15234) by Rob Delmarco, Vice President, Financial Management & Analytics at Comcast. Comcast is a long-time customer of SuccessFactors Workforce Analytics. Hear Rob discuss how Comcast uses analytics to confirm the ROI of its recruiting solution—SuccessFactors Recruiting. Comcast recently deployed SuccessFactors Recruiting, and it set expectations for its deployment during the sales process. Rob will describe how Comcast uses SuccessFactors Workforce Analytics to confirm the benefits from its investment and how it uses ROI analysis to substantiate the value realized and quantify the impact on its business outcomes:
