Over 400 companies worldwide have gone live with SAP SuccessFactors Human Experience Management (HXM) suite in the first half of 2020 to equip them in the new world of work.
The global pandemic has elevated the role of HR in leading organizations, big or small, during these unprecedented times. As the current business environment continues to evolve, HR is given the central role of ensuring employees are confidently adapting to remote working; all business functions seamlessly working together, and the organization complies with new regulations while securing business continuity.
In this article, we put a spotlight on SAP SuccessFactors and take a look at how companies and countries in Asia leverage its products to keep their organizations remain nimble even in these uncertain times.

Designed for unexpected emergencies like that of COVID-19, SAP SuccessFactors software on the management of payroll, streamlining of human resource (HR) services, management of visa and permits, and document control can be updated to adapt to the needs of any particular population in the world.
Specifically, the SAP Globalization Services team, in close coordination with customers and partners worldwide, provides solutions for an array of changes, quickly and effectively.
The following information is based on legislation and regulations that are subject to change at any time by the respective authorities and therefore is not binding. The information may be updated as and when required.
Malaysia and Japan are two of the countries in Asia that have leveraged SAP SuccessFactors solutions in tackling the pandemic.
Malaysia has introduced an economic stimulus package to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on employees. The SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll is structured to allow the minimum employee contribution to the employees’ provident fund to be reduced by four percent. To aid employers in the legal changes, the localization team introduced multiple HR support packages and instructional guides.
Over in Japan, the localization team has focused on providing system accommodations for employees who have been absent from work due to COVID-19 as well as for those whose remuneration has fallen markedly due to this absence. SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll allows a special exception for these employees to let them receive their standard monthly remuneration for health insurance and employees’ pension insurance revised from the following month.
Amidst the rapid change and ever-evolving challenges organizations face at this time, SAP SuccessFactors is committed to supporting its customers’ journey as they adapt in compliance to the new world of work.
