SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central (EC)

Create a single source of truth for your people data and connect the core HR processes that keep your organisation running.

What is SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central?

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central is a cloud-based HRIS that provides a central foundation for employee data and core HR processes. It brings together people profiles, organisational structures, position management, employee and manager self-service, time and absence, benefits and other essential HR activities within one connected environment.

As the core of the wider SAP SuccessFactors suite, Employee Central provides consistent workforce data that can connect with payroll, talent and other HR processes — giving organisations greater visibility while reducing fragmented systems and manual administration.

Why SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central?

Core HR touches almost every part of the employee lifecycle, making accurate and accessible people data essential. SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central gives organisations a reliable foundation for managing workforce information and everyday HR processes across teams, locations and employee groups.

By bringing core HR data and processes together, organisations can simplify administration, improve employee and manager self-service and create better visibility across the workforce — while building a foundation that can scale with changing business needs.
