Product Advisory Panels & Design Advisor Programs

*New* Panel Session: Experience Management – Explore Use Cases for Qualtrics

With the disruption caused by COVID-19, it is imperative now more than ever that organizations take a pulse of their employees. Having focused insights will enable companies to hone in on the most critical programs to ensure workplace safety, remote work enablement, mental health, employee morale, work life balance and keep employees engaged at work and sustain a new normal way of business.

SAP SuccessFactors Qualtrics’ Product Strategy is to integrate with various Human Experience Management (HXM) product areas. We held an interactive session last April to provide an overview of Qualtrics and our integration requirements. We learned quite a bit from our last Panel session and were able to consider some customer feedback into our requirements and product designs. As such, we would like to continue our collaboration and conversations on this topic and gather your feedback on our upcoming May 2021 and November 2021 releases.

*New* Design Advisors Program: Total Rewards

Total Reward packages have become increasingly complex, as employers expand the reward program choices to meet the needs of a global and diverse workforce. Feedback from our customers is that a comprehensive view of all elements of an employee's total rewards package is critical to provide employees visibility into total rewards so they can understand and appreciate it.

We are excited to announce that SAP SuccessFactors recently launched a new Total Rewards Design Advisors Program that will run from November 2020 through summer 2021 and allow you to partner with us in designing this new product offering. The overall program objectives are to get your ideas and feedback on all topics that make up Total Rewards, such as base salary, allowances, bonus, benefits, long-term incentives, reward & recognition, and other non-monetary benefits.

*New* Design Advisors Program: SAP SuccessFactors Opportunity Marketplace

Workforce Management

A series of facilitated knowledge sharing discussions and customers’ stories are coming in March:

HR Transformation and Research

Deskless Workers: The Forgotten Employee Experience

Attend the SAP SuccessFactors LinkedIn Live session discussing how as much as 80% of the world’s workforce is made up of deskless workers, or workers who complete their work tasks away from a desk and often lack consistent access to information communication technology or internal systems, yet only 1% of software investment is focused on these workers.

The SuccessFactors HR Research Team’s Supporting the Deskless Workforce research program collected both qualitative data from HR leaders and quantitative data from a global sample of 2,800 employees to understand deskless workers’ current employee experiences.

In this session, the research findings will be shared to offer an understanding of who deskless workers are, what both HR and deskless workers view as key challenges and priorities for their employee experience, and how technology, like the new SAP Work Zone for HR application, can offer solutions to better support and engage the deskless workforce.
