We use SAP SuccessFactors with a 7K Headcount. Used to master all core HR data EC, Recruiting, Onboarding, PMGM, WFA, Talent, Compensation available but not fully utilized and restricted by legacy business complexity and data issues. Now, I am trying to unpick some of the original implementations to standardize, simplify, and modernize.

use it to support onboarding/hiring for new employee's to my specific team.
we use it to track the applicants and input feedback.
Then when they join, they also get pushed through to employee status on the platform. I use it only at the start of their employee journey to ensure docuemnts etc is all ok, after that it is more HR team that will use it.

SAP SuccessFactors is helping us integrate all employee management tools in one. It helps us integrate learning for the employees, tracking and approving leave application and also track employee development discussions in one place. As a manager it helps me track data for all the employees in just one place and further helps me in planning.

My organization uses SAP SuccessFactors employee time sheets to record work hours, absences and all other issues related to work time, to record employee goals and to track employee progress. It is also used for Pay records and to record bonuses and potential increases to employee pay. The employees can also use it to keep track of their team member's time off to plan better and have backups if needed.

We use SAP SuccessFactors for the LMS, Goals, Performance reviews, and personal development areas. The only problems I see are the way performance reviews are structured. Maybe a best practices with this module would be great to simplify and standardize the process.
