The session

About this session

WaterNSW has achieved 78% employee self-service adoption and reduced manual HR transactions and duplicate data entry by 73% across a workforce spanning dams, waterways, depots and offices throughout New South Wales. Rather than reproducing its existing processes in a new system, WaterNSW began by redesigning its People and Culture service model, processes and job architecture. It then introduced SAP SuccessFactors across core HR, recruitment, onboarding and performance, connecting the platform with 10 surrounding systems and embedding digital guidance directly into everyday workflows.

Hear how WaterNSW turned a technology implementation into a broader workforce transformation that supports employees wherever they work while improving data quality, governance and visibility for leaders.
