See what’s new in SAP SuccessFactors Time Management with geofencing, self-service audits, FMLA automation, and workforce scheduling.
In this 2H 2025 release highlight, Frans Smolders introduces new innovations in SAP SuccessFactors Time Management that help organizations improve compliance, reduce administrative effort, and give employees and managers smarter tools to manage time, absences, and schedules.
The video starts with geofencing for time recording. Employees can clock in and out only when they are within a defined work location, using the mobile app to see proximity to the nearest site. This supports location-based policies, improves transparency, and helps prevent misuse of time recording outside authorized areas – especially relevant for industries with distributed or site-based workforces.
Next, Frans highlights a self-service Time Sheet Change Audit report. Directly from the time sheet UI, employees can generate an audit document that shows all time sheet updates, who made them, and when. This added visibility supports payroll accuracy and strengthens audit readiness.
The release also brings enhancements to absence management, including streamlined connectivity with FMLA service providers for customers in the United States. Automated leave deductions help simplify compliance and reduce manual work for HR and time admins. Building on this, new capabilities for automated payouts allow remaining balances across multiple pay components to be paid out at the end of a period without manual intervention – improving efficiency and payroll accuracy.
The video closes with a preview of Workforce Scheduling for manufacturing and other production industries. Shift scheduling supports demand-driven workforce planning and generates weekly or monthly shift plans that consider operational needs and employee skills. This helps organizations align labor with demand, reduce downtime, and improve productivity as part of a connected workforce management approach with SAP SuccessFactors solutions.

In this 2H 2025 release highlight, Senior Director of Product Management Ling Liu walks through the updated SAP SuccessFactors home page and mobile experience, designed to help every user get things done quickly and easily—whether at a desk or on the go.
The new home page introduces a refreshed page layout that reduces clicks and scrolling while making next steps crystal clear. A Quick Action bar at the top gives instant access to essential actions, so employees and managers can jump straight into common tasks. A new Greeting section brings together a personalized message, quick links, and featured cards that surface upcoming milestones and relevant items.

The “Explore More” area adds data visualization cards that provide at-a-glance insights into role-specific KPIs and metrics, giving leaders and HR teams a more data-driven starting point for their day. Custom banners with engaging visuals keep everyone informed and connected to key company messages, while pre-built WalkMe content offers visual guidance so users can quickly find and adopt new features.
On mobile, the native apps have also been enhanced for efficiency. Users are greeted with their company’s branding, and a redesigned header offers quick access to Joule, notifications, and profile and settings. A new “Needs Attention” carousel highlights the top three priorities by due date, and a reimagined “To Do” screen separates approvals and other tasks with filters so users can focus on what matters most in the moment.
The updated home page is designed for a seamless transition, with minimal disruption for administrators and a guided adoption experience for end users. There’s no need to migrate data or perform upgrade tasks—organizations can simply benefit from a more efficient layout, smarter navigation, and enhanced features that support a better day-to-day experience with SAP SuccessFactors.

Discover how SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding uses AI and automation to streamline new-hire tasks and speed up HR onboarding in 2H 2025.
In this 2H 2025 release highlight, SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding introduces new AI-driven capabilities that help HR teams do more with less while giving new hires a faster, more engaging start. Senior Director of Product Management, Emily Nagengast, walks through how automation and AI come together to remove repetitive work and support a more consistent onboarding experience across your organization.
You’ll see how auto-completion of new hire tasks takes routine steps off your team’s plate – from “prepare for day one” to sending welcome messages at scale. For organizations with high-volume or seasonal hiring, this helps standardize processes, reduce errors, and ensure every new hire receives a consistently high-quality experience.
The video also covers AI-assisted document processing, which automatically extracts key data from documents such as national ID cards and passports. By reducing manual data entry, this capability helps minimize inconsistencies, supports compliance, and accelerates the time it takes for new hires to become productive. HR can focus on high-value work, managers gain time back, and overall efficiency improves across the onboarding journey.
Built as part of the SAP SuccessFactors Human Capital Management suite, SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding connects people, processes, and data in a single, intuitive solution. With embedded intelligence and automated workflows, organizations can support pre–day-one, onboarding, cross-boarding, offboarding, and rehire scenarios in a scalable, compliant way.
Whether you’re looking to streamline high-volume hiring, reduce paperwork, or create a more engaging new-hire experience, this release gives HR teams powerful new tools to transform onboarding with automation and AI.

See how the new Performance & Goals Agent in SAP SuccessFactors helps managers prep for reviews in minutes using SAP Business AI.
In this 2H 2025 release highlight, SAP SuccessFactors Performance & Goals introduces new capabilities that use SAP Business AI and automation to transform how managers prepare for performance discussions. Senior Director of Product Management Geoff Fettner shares how the new Performance & Goals Agent helps managers save time while improving the quality of every people conversation.
Starting with a simple request in Joule, the agent analyzes employee data such as goals, feedback, and past reviews to generate a clear summary of each employee’s overall performance. In just a few moments, managers get an at-a-glance view of strengths, development areas, and trends, so they can spend less time digging through forms and more time preparing for meaningful dialogue.
Because the agent is connected to your business data, it can also provide tailored insights into specific areas for improvement—plus smart suggestions on how employees can develop and reach their goals. Managers can even ask the agent to create short, clear talking points to guide respectful, confidence-building feedback conversations.
The video also introduces new business rules integration in the performance management form. With powerful conditional logic, your performance forms can automatically adapt in real time based on rating values and other conditions—for example, exposing additional fields or adding another reviewer if a very low rating is given. This helps organizations drive more consistent, fair, and compliant performance reviews while saving time for managers and HR.
Together, these innovations help organizations modernize performance management with AI-driven insights, dynamic forms, and guided conversations, all embedded in SAP SuccessFactors Performance & Goals as part of the broader SAP SuccessFactors Human Experience Management suite.

See ABAP Cloud RAP power recommendations and AI lookups – then generate analytics “review booklets” end-to-end without leaving ADT.
In this SAP TechEd demo, we extend an in-house shopping cart to help new hires get laptops and phones faster, now with product recommendations built on ABAP Cloud RAP. You’ll see how an ISLM machine-learning scenario (trained on the equipment request dataset) plugs directly into a RAP behavior definition, returning ranked suggestions at input time.
We then add a second AI pattern using the ABAP AI SDK: a Gen AI scenario that calls a foundation model to fetch concise product reviews from the web. Prompts, triggers, and results are orchestrated inside ADT, so developers stay in one flow – no tab-hopping.
To close the loop with insight-to-action analytics, we showcase the new Review Booklet capability in ABAP Cloud analytics. From an analytical cube + queries bound via InA, a wizard generates the review booklet app and opens the Review Booklet Designer to tailor pages, measures, and layouts. The result is a Fiori app where business users slice, dice, and save views, like top suppliers, in minutes.
Speakers:
Shilpa Shankar, Developer Advocate, SAP
Sheena M K, Developer Advocate, SAP

See how SAP’s open, agentic stack lets you build practical AI agents – using your favorite tools with governance on SAP BTP.
In this SAP TechEd demo, we show how SAP’s developer experience opens up to the broader agent ecosystem so you can build with the tools and frameworks you prefer, without leaving the SAP BTP trust boundary. The session builds an agent that quality-tests a tutorial automatically, combining model intelligence with real tools like a browser and terminal. This reflects SAP’s newly announced agentic capabilities for developers: open interoperability, enterprise guardrails, and faster delivery from idea to impact.
We define the agent’s “brain” with the SAP Cloud SDK for AI (via Generative AI Hub), select a foundation model, and keep prompts in the Prompt Registry for reuse and governance. Tools are attached through Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers—including a Playwright MCP server for browser automation and SAP-specific MCP servers that give agents authoritative access to UI5/CAP knowledge and actions.
Running live, the agent streams its plan, chooses the right tool (navigate, click, fill), validates state, and loops until the workflow is complete—then returns structured feedback. This agentic pattern aligns with SAP’s TechEd updates: Joule Studio to build/extend agents and skills, A2A + MCP interoperability, and centralized monitoring, so teams move fast while staying compliant.
Speaker: Nora von Thenen, Developer Advocate, SAP
00:02 – Ecosystem open: compatible with many AI agent frameworks
00:19 – Build the agent: tools (browser, terminal, grounding)
01:36 – Implement: SDK, model selection & Prompt Registry

See how SAP Cloud Application Event Hub wires SAP SuccessFactors to CAP apps and automation – so hires trigger downstream processes in seconds.
In this SAP TechEd demo, we event-enable a SAP BTP landscape so a new-hire in SAP SuccessFactors automatically triggers actions across systems. We start by reviewing the landscape (SAP SuccessFactors, SAP Build Process Automation, a custom CAP app) and then configure an eventing formation in SAP Cloud Application Event Hub, SAP’s broker for distributing events across cloud applications on BTP.
Next, we define an integration dependency in the CAP service to subscribe to specific SAP SuccessFactors new-hire events, and flip the subscription on in the Event Hub UI. From there, creating the employee in SAP SuccessFactors emits events that the CAP app and SAP Process Automation receive immediately – demonstrating real-time, event-driven flows with centralized control.
We also highlight how this pattern extends across your agentic stack. SAP’s latest innovations add MCP Gateway support in SAP Integration Suite so developers can expose APIs and integration flows as agent-consumable tools – standardizing discovery, governance, and security for AI agents you build or extend in Joule Studio.
