Baylor focused on improving business processes and then how SAP SuccessFactors could improve employee engagement and business efficiency through technology. As part of this transformation, BCM began their transformation journey in 2018 with implementation of the full SuccessFactors HCM and Talent suite linked to on-premise payroll and benefits. In July, 2019 BCM went live with the full SuccessFactors HCM and Talent suite to improve position approval, recruiting, onboarding, time management, HR processes, employee career development, training, performance management, and compensation management.
