First Half 2025 Release: What's New in SAP SuccessFactors Learning?

[nickkruger]

The First Half 2025 Release brings a range of exciting enhancements to SAP SuccessFactors Learning. The latest updates lay the foundation for the future of Talent Management with innovative capabilities to drive skills management, learning, and development. Our 1H 2025 Release brings a vastly improved experience for learners and managers alike, all underpinned by an array of AI-powered capabilities.

Here's a quick overview of what's included in this release:

Improved Manager Experience

Building on the new manager view unveiled in our 2H 2024 release, our latest innovations allow managers to easily navigate their reporting hierarchy to view their teams' learning progress as well as encourage developmental learning progress. Managers can also preview and edit notification nudges to their teams when they need some focused attention on overdue learning, increasing manager efficiency and oversight while driving overall compliance adherence.

Hierarchy View

Enhanced Integrated Learning Experience (ILX)

Across recent releases, we’ve continued to evolve the Integrated Learning Experience (ILX), offering learners greater clarity and helping them prioritize what they must, should, and want to learn. With our latest release, we’re excited to announce further enhancements to the Integrated Learning Experience. Surveys have been enabled for end users which allow employees to share their feedback, helping administrators and instructors measure learning effectiveness and improve outcomes.

Optional curricula items are now displayed on the user’s Important Learning section for additional relative learning options they can explore, providing greater discovery to the most relevant material.

Finally, administrators will get the help they need to troubleshoot with Proxy support, allowing them to seamlessly step into users’ views to diagnose and address issues quickly while ensuring timely compliance.

Unleashing the Power of AI

With our custom AI-Assisted Image Generation, employees can now reduce complexity and improve efficiency in finding and creating relevant, contextual and custom images. This will also improve user engagement by capturing their attention using unique, high-quality images rather than generic stock photos. 

We are also thrilled to announce additional Learning capabilities in Joule available with our 1H 2025 release. With Joule, work efficiency can be improved by using conversational language to assist users in knowing the required learning, training, assignment, and timelines. Additionally, administrators can boost compliance rates by delivering quick access to required training, ensuring users stay informed and on track. Approvals are also streamlined with Joule, giving approvers a faster, more efficient way to take action on pending requests, thus improving the user experience.
