Why should I use it?
SAP WorkZone for HR makes working simpler, which will vastly improve employee engagement and the overall employee digital experience. This in turn increases employee retention and productivity. It connects employees through communication, communities, and personalized guided experiences. A few guided experience template examples that have been rolled out in the latest release are Return to Work, which helps to ensure a smooth and safe return to work for employees; and several new learning and development guided experience templates that identify and call out relevant content in a timely manner to employees and prompts them to take quick action from the SAP WorkZone for HR solution.
What is the difference between this and the new SuccessFactors Home Page?
The new SAP SuccessFactors Home Page is the entry point for the SuccessFactors tool and is available to all SuccessFactors customers. This new Home Page does not act as a portal in the way SAP WorkZone for HR does. SAP WorkZone for HR is intended to be an entry point for all employee needs including almost 200 third-party applications such as MS Teams, SharePoint, or Google Drive.
What is the difference between SAP WorkZone for HR and SAP Jam?
SAP WorkZone for HR capabilities will do much more than what a portal or intranet can – it allows for a true digital workplace. SAP Jam customers will continue to be supported on bug fixes and compliance modifications, but the future is with SAP WorkZone for HR. This new tool delivers several different and new capacities in one consistent solution such as a single-entry point for SAP and non-SAP applications, orchestration including guided experiences (workflows), collaboration and content in the form of workspaces, knowledge bases, and a full content management system, and mobile access.
What are the technical requirements?
SAP WorkZone for HR requires Identity Authentication Service (IAS). Every SAP SuccessFactors customer is entitled to IAS so no separate subscription is required. Customers must also have at least one SAP SuccessFactors product.
