SAP rolls out mobile apps to mobilize HR

BANGALORE, INDIA: Addressing the needs of human resources (HR) departments that support global workforces in real time, SAP recently announced the launch of a series of new HR-based mobile apps to help managers and employees execute HR-based requests on-the-go.

The new mobile apps will increase employee and manager productivity while connecting people anyplace at anytime, empowering the always-on workforce with real-time mobile capabilities for performing a wide range of HR-related activities, said the company in a press release

The capabilities include interviewing job candidates, managing employee performance, entering and approving leave requests and accessing corporate KPIs.

Today’s workplace is no longer made up of a set of desks in an office building. Equipped with smartphones and tablet devices, workers are ‘always on’ and have become reliant on mobile technology to manage their personal and professional lives.

HR functions are crucial to the business, and delays in approvals and HR-based requests and workflows can result in lost productivity. Managers will be able to search for and view employee profiles, initiate and act on HR-based processes and workflow, collaborate on decisions and events, and access critical data ? all from their mobile devices.
