SAP SuccessFactors – Employee Central, Payroll and Performance & Goals modules
Marlow Foods is the manufacturer of the leading meat-free brands, Quorn and Cauldron. Their delicious food is healthy for both the planet and its people, with protein cultivated from non-animal sources. Their 2030 ambition is to be a net positive business that provides 8 billion servings of food every year, the equivalent of one serving for every person on Planet Earth.
Having completed their journey to SAP S/4HANA with NTT DATA Business Solutions, the company was on an accelerated growth-track and with a workforce growing exponentially, the company turned their attention to their legacy HR Information System (HRIS) which was reaching end of life. With an immediate need to replace the system, the team completed a full market review of potential new solutions to suit their requirements.
Quorn Foods were seeking a best-in-class cloud HRIS which could be quickly deployed and capable of serving a growing, international workforce. With these factors in mind,
SAP SuccessFactors was chosen as the new HR solution.
Specifically, Quorn Foods chose NTT DATA Business Solutions’ Ready2Run Solution – a ready-made business blueprint for HR Transformation. The solution included a pre-defined and rapid implementation approach of SAP SuccessFactors with pre-configured templates and an HR process library that would get the system up and running within months. Modernisation was high on the agenda of Quorn’s HR and IT teams. With many HR processes still involving manual, staff-intensive, paper-based activities, enhancing employee experiences with leading-edge automated HR workflows and self-service was key.
The importance of self service
With a third of Quorn’s UK workers not desk-based and with no access to the Corporate network, one of the biggest benefits to Quorn was the SAP SuccessFactors mobile application, which enables all staff to access and update information on their own devices.
The team launched SAP SuccessFactors with three initial modules and have developed a roadmap for the future aligned to their biggest priorities.
Module 1 - Employee Central
The Employee Central module provides a hub for all employee personal and employment information. Now live at Quorn, it provides their employees with the ability to update personal information and book time off work. Managers have a complete overview of their teams’ information and time off, and also benefit from regularly updated and localised HR-related legal updates which help them to remain compliant. Employee Central also provides Quorn with an interactive organisation chart which details roles and reporting lines.
Module 2 - Employee Central Payroll
The SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll solution now helps Quorn to make payments to its workforce in a timely and efficient way by automating and accelerating payment processing, reducing the risk of errors, and simplifying payroll management. All payslips and financial documents are now delivered to employees online, rather than as paper-based documents.
Module 3 - Performance & Goals
Now rolled out globally, the module has removed the need for paper-based performance management. All teams now follow a standardised process, setting objectives at the start of the year. They are then prompted by the system to complete middle and end of year reviews. One particular benefit to Quorn is that the solution enables the HR team to measure performance against the organisation’s expected behaviours. They now also have oversight of how all areas are progressing, with built-in analytics enabling ease of reporting.
