Hi Community,
The 1H 2025 release is here!
The eagerly anticipated SAP SuccessFactors 1H 2025 Release is here, bringing a host of impactful features and enhancements. Let’s dive into what’s new!
1- AI-Assisted Successor Insights:
Leveraging generative AI capabilities, succession planners can now gain insights into the successors that are nominated for a position or an incumbent.
In the Succession Org Chart or the Position Tile view, users can access the feature by selecting the Generate Insights button in the header of a position card. Note that this button is available only when the position or person has at least 1 but no more than 10 successors. To produce the insights, generative AI uses the following data:
• Competencies that are associated with the position through job role
• Successors' skills and competencies
• Successors' latest overall performance ratings
• Successors' work experience that is available in their job information
In the Successor Insights dialog, the insights are organized into the following sections:
Overall Summary: Provides a high-level overview of the job role requirements and all nominated successors,
containing two parts:
• Role Overview
• Successors Analysis
Successors: Provides a summary for each successor in the following aspects:
• Experience and Progression
• Performance and Key Achievements
• Strengths and Potential Areas for Growth
Enablement: Contact Customer Engagement Executive or Account Manager

4- Filter Position Tile View with Generic Objects:
Users can now add Generic Objects as filters to narrow down the positions displayed in the Position Tile view.
With the setting Include Generic Objects in filters in the Position Tile view enabled, if you've added Generic Object fields as searchable fields to the Position object, those Generic Objects will show up as available filters in the Position Tile view.
This enhancement enables users to filter position tiles with more pre-configured options, providing a more consistent experience in searching for positions.
Enablement: Customer Configured
Configuration Requirements:

5- Unhide Individual Positions or Profiles in the Succession Org Chart:
When you've hidden some positions or profiles from the Succession Org Chart, you can now view their names and choose which one to unhide.
If you unhide one position or profile, you will be directed to that specific node in the org chart. If you unhide multiple ones, you will remain at your current node.
Previously, you could only unhide all of them at once, without knowing exactly what had been unhidden.
Enablement: Automatically on
