One single HR platform for the transforming worldwide Hager Group

Context and goals:

Hager Group is a leading provider of solutions and services for electrical installations in residential, commercial and industrial buildings.

A European Company headquartered in Blieskastel, Germany, Hager Group is, nevertheless, a worldwide business: 11,500 employees based in more than 30 countries generated a turnover of around 2 billion euros in 2018.

The first huge challenge that Hager and ARAGO Consulting faced together was Employee Central’s implementation: the core HR.

Other SuccessFactors modules (Performance & Goals, Recruiting, Learning) were already live but the global HR processes had to be reviewed.

Solution:

A global Employee Central deployment (master mode for all countries) in a big bang approach was the target.

Functional scope for core HR deployment included:

• Core HR process reengineering.
• Employee Central (EC) Global Template definition + 12 EC Localization process onsite.
• Rework of the existing SAP SuccessFactors modules: Performance and Goals Management (PM/GM), Recruiting, and LMS.
• Payroll integration for 11 countries (SAP HCM and 3rd party PY providers).
• Corporate integration processes: AD and FI/CO.

Further to EC deployment, following steps were implemented:

• Post Go-live support on all modules of the suite implemented.
• Calibration implementation.
• PM/GM for indirect workers implementation.

Benefits:

• Standardization of HR processes in all countries of establishment.
• One single HR platform: “DhRIVE”, for “Digital HR Information for Value & Effectiveness”.
• Global HRIS governance.
• Direct access to the organizational structure for each employee.
• Improved user experience and quality of HR service.
