What’s New?
SAP SuccessFactors introduces a powerful enhancement via the new feature Transfer Individual Talent Data from Inactive to Active Employment:
“Transfer Individual Talent Data from Inactive to Active Employment”- This enhancement introduces a person-centric Manage Individual Talent Data Transfer capability, enabling administrators to seamlessly migrate an employee’s complete talent history in a single action from inactive to active employment.
Key Highlights
The new functionality inaugurates an advanced functionality within SAP SuccessFactors Performance & Goals, facilitating the seamless migration of an individual’s complete historical talent data from an inactive employment record to their current active employment in a single, streamlined process. This ensures uninterrupted continuity of performance insights across employment transitions, thereby supporting holistic talent management and organizational agility.
Business Use Cases
When an employee permanently relocates to a host country, a new user ID is assigned to them. During this transition, the employee requires access to their talent data originally associated with their home country user ID. In such instances, administrators or HR personnel can facilitate the seamless transfer of the employee’s talent data from their inactive home country user ID to the newly active host country user ID, ensuring uninterrupted access to their complete talent history.
