Below is a summary of the most significant changes for 2H 2022 Succession and Career Development
1. Career Explorer Now Generally Available
Career Explorer recommends career opportunities to employees based on the career paths of people who are similar to them in the organization. It is powered by machine learning technology.
Career Explorer is also a data source for job role recommendations in Opportunity Marketplace.
To obtain and analyze your personnel data, your SAP SuccessFactors system is coupled with the People Connection system, which is based on SAP AI Business Service Personalized Recommendation. Employees will receive career role recommendations on Career Explorer when there is enough qualified data to train machine learning algorithms.
Employees can open the card for a recommended role to view employment profiles, a career path in a lineage chart, and the reasoning behind the recommendation. To further customize their recommendations, they can also dislike a role or add it to their Career Worksheet to do a gap analysis for personal skills. . Employees can frequently explore new recommendations on the Career Explorer page.
This function has been developed by SAP to make it simple for employees to find more relevant job openings within their company, such as:
Career moves of people who are similar to them
Roles from outside their job hierarchy
Roles that they haven't thought they would be suited to
Prerequisites & Procedure
Your company must have at least 1,000 employee-and-job role pairs in the system.
Enabled People Connection
Configure the integration settings for People Connection. The system then can start data sync and data training. You can track the process status in Manage People Connection Integration

2. Enhanced Competency Gap Graph in Career Worksheet
In Career Worksheet, if a competency has either the last rating or expected rating, a horizontal bar graph for ratings is shown below the competency. Previously, the graph was shown only when a competency had both the last rating and an expected rating.
With the latest upgrade, users can view the competencies' expected rating, if any, even when the competencies are not assessed.
How It Looked Before - no expected rating is shown when the competencies are not assessed.
How It Looks Now
The competency "Assembling Talent" has an expected rating and no last rating.
In the current version, users can view the competencies' expected rating, if any, even when the competencies are not assessed. They can view the expected rating as a blue horizontal bar graph.
3. Country/Region Picklist Available for Mentoring Matching Questions
The purpose of this feature was to allow mentoring programs to directly use the employee data that is already available in the system.
With this, you can set up matching rules where mentees define their preferred country/region when signing up for a program, and mentors' country/region information is pulled from their profile data.
How the "Country/Region" picklist is labeled on the UI depends on standard element configurations in the data model. The picklist is used in the same way as other standard elements such as department, division, and location.
Configuration Requirements
The "country/region" standard element is defined in the data model.
