February 15 2017 - 10:46PM
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Feb. 16,
2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SAP SE (NYSE:SAP) today
announced that City Football Group has implemented SAP®
SuccessFactors® human capital management (HCM) solutions to help
manage its growing international workforce. City Football Group,
home to internationally renowned football clubs
including Manchester City, New York City
FC, Melbourne City FC and Yokohama F. Marinos, is
working with SAP to increase operational efficiency and consistency
across its global workforce to empower employees with self-service
and collaboration tools to help enhance productivity and
engagement.
"As an international sports brand with teams in
multiple markets, ensuring that all of our employees feel invested
in our overall success is a top priority for our organization,"
said Andy Young, CFO of City Football Group. "The implementation of
SAP SuccessFactors solutions has helped us simplify and consolidate
our HR processes. By giving employees the mobility and flexibility
to access the system from anywhere and on any type of device, we
can communicate and engage with our people all over the world in
new and dynamic ways. We're committed to attracting, developing and
retaining the best talent around the world, and having the right
technology solutions is a critical part of achieving
that."
As it has grown and expanded into new clubs and
new continents, City Football Group wanted the right technology
partner to move to an advanced human resources information system
(HRIS). It implemented the SAP SuccessFactors Employee
Central solution to transform its data into a single
structure. Deployment of the SAP SuccessFactors Performance
& Goals solution further enabled the organization to
standardize performance management and calibration processes across
geographies. Performance reviews are now managed through an
interactive online portal that is universal across all locations,
making the review process more efficient and engaging. People are
now empowered with self-services, and central HR data is made
available to all other business systems.
City Football Group is also utilizing the SAP
Jam(TM) social software platform to keep employees engaged and
up-to-date on the latest football and company news, while also
providing a user-friendly space for employees to collaborate. SAP
Jam allows employees in remote locations to more easily organize a
range of community initiatives, a key focus of City Football
Group.
"As businesses continue to rapidly expand their
footprint across the globe, they add additional layers of
complexities for all functions, not the least of which is HR," said
Mike Ettling, president of SAP SuccessFactors.* "Our cloud-based
HCM solutions help ensure they can simplify and standardize. We are
a leader in offering deep global and local capabilities, while at
the same time delivering an awesome user experience that lets
people get done what they need to do easily from a mobile device,
as well as stay connected to one another to help them collaborate
in real time. By keeping its people at the heart of the
organization, no matter where they are in the world, City Football
Group wins on and off the field."
City Football Group is the latest international
organization to adopt SAP SuccessFactors solutions to run HR live
in the cloud. As more companies look to transform their HR teams to
meet the demands of an increasingly global and digital workforce,
they are embracing leading SAP SuccessFactors solutions
to help unify and optimize HR processes, while also fostering a
mobile, cloud-first philosophy.
