New ESSILOR HRIS:
Big Bang deployment in 44 countries

Context & Goals:

• Replacement of a former system for Talent Management.
• Need to retrieve all its functionalities.
• Need to harmonize, improve and simplify processes and user experience.
• Mandatory to go live on time, as previous system sunset was planned just before annual performance campaign.
• Need to have an evolving tool with modular approach for future deployments (Recruiting, Employee Central, Learning, etc.).

Solution:

SAP SuccessFactors HCM cloud suite has been chosen for its flexibility, modularity and reliability.

ARAGO Consulting helped ESSILOR to face three main challenges:

• Big bang deployment in 44 countries for 4 key modules (Employee Profile, Performance & Goals Management, Career & Development, Succession).
• Simplify and harmonize processes worldwide in a real time constraint.
• Involvement of many stakeholders at each stage of the project, in order to respect the company “consensus” philosophy.

Benefits:

• Alignment of Performance and People Review processes between countries / zones.
• Easy progressive deployment (6.000 employees in 44 countries first year, 10.000 in 60 countries second year).
• Reliable reporting for worldwide population.

SuccessFactors user friendly interface is key to adoption by employees and managers.
