We will blame Brandon Toombs for this one - he wrote a great blog about his experiences with SAP SuccessFactors Core-Hybrid implementation challenges. Steve Bogner, Chris Paine and Luke Marson engaged with it on Twitter and decided we had enough content for a decent (we hope) podcast. So here we are - our experiences (good and bad) with Core-Hybrid implementations, and a bit more. Enjoy! Or not. This is also our first attempt at posting the video of the podcast - available on Spotify and on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMXmLCRp3RY . Audio for now everywhere else. Here's Brandon's blog: https://blogs.sap.com/2022/10/05/a-core-principle-for-sap-successfactors-core-hybrid/ For more details on the SAP HCM Insights podcast see our main page at insightcp.com/insights

Join Steve Bogner, Luke Marson and Jarret Pazahanick as they discuss how to approach this, tips and advice for getting the most value, and obstacles to avoid.

In our year-end podcast we reflect on what stood out for us in 2017 and how we want to see that change or improve in 2018. Joining me were Amy Grubb, Brandon Toombs, Luke Marson and Jarret Pazahanick. It turned out to be a lengthy discussion so we present it here in two parts: Part 1 is all about payroll, and part 2 is about the rest: EC, on-boarding, recruitment, GDPR and more. I mentioned my blog series on Future Payroll in this part 1 - you can read those blogs at www.insightcp.com. And shortly after we recorded this, SAP SuccessFactors announced a new option for on-premise HCM customers to extend their software usage on to the S/4HANA platform - sounds interesting and the details will matter a lot on this.

GDPR is the General Data Protection Regulation, defining data protection requirements for the Europen Union. Going into force n May 25, 2018, it will generally impact HR for any company in the EU or that has information on EU citizens. So this is a pretty big deal for many companies using SAP or SuccessFactors HCM. Joining Steve Bogner for this podcast are Luke Marson, Mark Ingram, and Kim Lessley of SAP SuccessFactors. We describe the overall impact of GDPR on customers, including concepts such as an employee's Right to Erasure and Right to Access, and actions they might want to consider as they move forward towards implementation of the regulation. SAP SuccessFactors has some useful information on all this at the SAP Cloud Trust Center, with more HR-specific information at SuccessFactors' Cloud Security and Data Privacy center. Of course you can contact SAP SuccessFactors for more detail or contact any of us for questions too.
