SAP Showcases ERP Human Capital Management Solution

Technology; a simple 10 letter word that has changed and transformed the way we think, act and the speed at which business results are achieved.

Just a few years back, you had to print your CV, write an application letter and travel to the nearest post office to submit your employment application.

Fast forward, enter SAP ERP Human Capital Management solution, said Akinyoyenu Oluseyi, head, Line of Business, SAP West Africa.

According to him, the software solution provides integrated tools such as learning management, performance appraisal and succession planning to help HR professionals’ reward, retain and promote current employees.

“This integrated solution enables organisations to make more informed decisions about the status of their talent pool, forecast future skill needs and proactivity recruit new talent into the workforce.

“Now you just apply for a job on the company’s Web portal or via social media channels which are linked to the career site of an organisation. This is particularly important for the Nigerian market, where travelling long distances and waiting months before receiving an employment acceptance letter is a big challenge”.

Oluseyi added that the dynamics of the Human Resources industry in Nigeria is rapidly changing and is faced with a shortage of talent, as well as other challenges including globalisation and striving to achieve more with less.

The SAP Human Resources solution offers a complete and integrated set of tools to help you effectively manage your people. The solution helps you hire, develop, reward and retain talent. At the same time, you can automate your core HR processes to increase efficiency in your HR department, reduce HR costs, enable accessibility via mobile devices and support compliance”.
