Motive and implementation

Tilburg University used SAP-HCM before the implementation of SAP SuccessFactors. A lot of administration was done by hand and took a lot of time. Every faculty handled processes their own way, which did not always benefit the efficiency.

The wish arose to harmonise and digitalise processes and to offer self-service, with the mains goals of efficiency and user-friendliness as motivation.

SAP SuccessFactors increases independency, ensures efficiency and enables strategic HR

INDEPENDENCY AND INSIGHT

The implementation of self-service has lowered the threshold as well as heightened the motivation for employees to do their own administration. Changing data or submitting requests (e.g. leave of absences) happens in one environment, which gives the employees more control and insight into their own data.

TIMESAVINGS DUE TO IMPROVED EFFICIENCY

Self-service has made HR processes quicker, easier and more transparent. The administrative burden has decreased, and less mistakes are made. This alle saves time that can now be used to handle more complex HR issues, as well as to expand HR services.

INTEGRATED COMPLIANCE SYSTEEM

SAP SuccessFactors has made it easier for Tilburg University to comply with the requirements regarding safety and privacy, as for example GDPR.

DATA DRIVEN DECISIONS

The increased accessibility and availability of data supports Tilburg University in making well-considered and better decisions regarding personnel issues. This can be used as substantiation and justification for strategic HR policy.
