City Football Group Helps Employees Score Goals with SAP® SuccessFactors® Solutions
February 15 2017 - 11:20PM
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™ 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.
