EY–SAP Alliance

Organization and People

In today’s experience-driven economy, focusing on the human is a critical “get-right” to delivering long-term value. The EY organization knows that when you put humans at the center, you maximize the ability for people to be connected and adaptable.

Helping CHROs respond to the changing workplace

Rising expectations put pressure on organizations to better engage the workforce. Both CHROs and CEOs feel the urgency to transform the HR function to meet the new standards and demands of the digital age.

Legacy systems are shackling HR teams with fragmented tools. Pressures associated with compliance, cost and transparency demand increased HR process automation, simplification and standardization. Organizations need to modernize their recruitment processes to reflect the role of online channels in recruitment. Finally, as employees expect to be able to work flexibly and remotely, organizations also need to employ effective cloud offerings that offer a high degree of security.

The more capable and adaptable your workforce is, the more your people deliver. EY Organization and People for SAP® offerings can help drive results: a sustainable, people-centered enterprise, supported by technology, creating exponential value. We deliver by combining our leading people consulting capability across the globe with a proven SAP SuccessFactors® implementation methodology and highly experienced consultants.

How EY can help

To activate at scale the strategically relevant and impactful people experiences that fuel consumer, financial and societal value, HR must abandon the comforts of a vertical silo and operate horizontally across the enterprise. It needs to be plugged into the “messy middle” where people experiences are created or destroyed every day. It must be the thread that weaves together strategy and operations, liberated by digitalization to enable agile team formation and instant-access people services. With deep SAP SuccessFactors, Qualtrics and payroll capabilities, an EY team can transform HR and unlock additional cost savings and automation through innovation.

HR and payroll transformation

  • Convergence of core HR, finance and tax systems links a cohesive strategy to address customer problems as EY professionals connect previously siloed systems with a comprehensive and transformational offering.
  • Global system alignment and reconciliation provide opportunities for unique cost savings, innovation and company culture alignment. Uninhibited by borders, HR can focus on data integrity, alignment and powerful real-time people management systems.
  • Global harmonization using predictable and proven assets that meet local-level HR regulatory requirements in over 150 countries.
  • The EY HR Transformation methodology and framework help enable companies to accelerate decision-making, reduce implementation timelines and reusable assets that align SAP SuccessFactors technology deployments with strategic value.
  • A uniform EY approach provides HR transformation seamlessly with EY People Advisory Services (PAS) for organizational modeling, governance and operating model.

People experience

  • Enhancing employee engagement, productivity, and well-being through flexible offerings and new ways of working. 
  • Core HR and talent offerings are no longer solely HR activities. Employee experience will drive alignment of people inside an organization to bottom-line activities through new insights driven by the interweaving of Qualtrics® and SAP SuccessFactors.

Payroll

  • Improved payroll automation platforms using the powerful EY library of over 650 alerts, KPIs and automated remedies addressing and identifying payroll problems proactively without human intervention.
  • An EY team that can drive value and help accelerate SAP SuccessFactors’ core HR and payroll business case development through value-based calculators and Phase 0/assessment offerings.

Integrated mobility

  • Developing a “workforce anywhere strategy” while managing challenges related to immigration, travel, tax, and regulatory risk for mobile and remote workforce.
  • Our integrated EY Mobility Pathway offering provides a user experience that leverages the knowledge of EY teams and the data captured in SAP Concur to automate compliance and reduce risk in real time.

EY professionals are ready today to provide a single platform for people, finance, tax, payroll and HR transformation based on SAP (SAP SuccessFactors, Qualtrics, SAP S/4HANA®, SAP Tax).

The experience revolution is now — unleash the power of your people

The collaboration between EY and Qualtrics brings employee experience and operational data together to better enable your people experience. Drive increased visibility and clarity on the relationship between business performance and your people experience with intelligent insights and actionable guidance.

The EY PX360 platform combines experience (X) and operations (O) to provide visibility into organizational friction beyond HR transactions. A few considerations are:

  • Are our employees as happy as our customers?
  • How does employee net promoter score impact our margin?
  • Does my workplace impact our retention rate?
  • How does the training we offer apply to our work?
  • What is the relationship between employee performance and engagement?
  • How much do our wellness programs and benefits impact employee performance?

Transform workforces through experience and operational insights to measure and enhance the impact of experiences on your operations and your people and build the best employee experience.
