Employee Central

Overall Satisfaction with SuccessFactors Employee Central

Human Resources uses it as our central HRIS system. Employees and managers use it to access basic information and maintain their own data. We are currently implementing the learning system as well. It functions as the central hub of our employee data, tracking and reporting. This system coordinates with and sends data to other systems.
  • Maintains our employee essential data and is accessible to everyone. Employees are able to update parts of their own data.
  • Tracks performance and merit information as well as allows for 'badging' between coworkers.
  • Integrates well with other systems so it can be the basis of employee data in for other software we use.
  • Not able to manage a fluid bonus structure from within the system, whereby you can gather approvals, etc.
  • I feel it's certainly had a positive ROI. No need for multiple systems with multiple duplicate data input.
  • Streamlines and tracks the entire employment journey from hiring, data maintenance, performance tracking, job transitions, pay, etc.
This is the most cohesive system I've ever used and its ability to function well with various other software is unmatched.
The payroll area is probably it's weakest [feature], but we were wanting some pretty complicated processes. Even the other system we're using can't perfectly accommodate us, but we have work-arounds in place. Otherwise the system integrates so well with so many other systems, we've upgraded our LMS by adding that package to our SuccessFactors platform.
