Core Human Resources and Payroll ENHANCED COMPANY STRUCTURE USER INTERFACE FOR MORE SUPPORT The enhanced user interface (UI) configuration capabilities in the SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central solution make managing and viewing corporate structure changes easier than ever before. With the new UI, users can now create and change reporting relationships and delete definitions on the fly. What s more, the intuitive UI design streamlines your ability to visualize structural changes as they happen, delivering an ease-of-use for clarity of the impact of structural changes. GLOBAL BENEFITS OPEN-ENROLLMENT ENHANCED UI AND BENEFITS ENROLLMENT CONFIRMATION STATEMENT We ve dramatically updated the UI for global benefits to support U.S.-based employees for open enrollment. A clear display of benefits available to employees with guided sequential steps help make it easy to complete the mass enrollment process with one click. This update supports the benefit types insurance, pension, and deductible allowances. Your employees can also view, download, and print a benefits enrollment confirmation statement using a template you can customize. TIME AND ATTENDANCE MANAGEMENT Check out the new time-collector capabilities in the SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central solution. Time collectors are generic counters that enable you to collect or count specific attributes based on processed time records per day, week, or month, for example: Daily collectors can raise an error when employees record more than 10 hours a day Weekly collectors can alert employees who have worked more than 10 hours of overtime Monthly collectors can help identify extra rewards for workers with more than 5 late shifts Time collectors substantially improve the complexity that the real-time, time-valuation process can handle. This improvement can help you reward employees and drive compliance based on collective labor agreements and local laws. 6 / 11
Talent Management SUCCESSION AND DEVELOPMENT Increase engagement and mentoring adoption with new support for open-ended mentoring programs that are available to employees without invitation. In addition to invitation-based mentoring programs, your employees can simply opt in to participate in a mentoring program as either a mentor, mentee, or both. PERFORMANCE AND GOALS Take advantage of expanded continuous performance management capabilities with faster ways for employees to stay engaged. For example, they can now add an achievement and link it directly to a performance or development goal in their goal plans. Also, they can change the status of an activity directly from that view. Plus, comments on activities are now time-stamped, so employees, managers, and HR can track updates more efficiently. 7 / 11

LEARNING The new Assessment Builder provides a unified, simplified experience to create, manage, and administer both quizzes and exams. You can now more comprehensively run assessments, evaluate learners knowledge and retention, and measure course effectiveness.

This provides a more immersive candidate experience and helps accelerate your overall digital recruiting transformation. 8 / 11
