With a workforce of over 37,000, Doosan was also seeking support for data-driven decisions about its workforce.

“As a leader in our market, we are growing into new countries and expanding the industry-leading products we provide to our customers,” said Seongwoo Choi, CHRO, Doosan.

“We seek constant innovation and change, and we know investment in technology is essential for improving competitiveness. Partnering with SAP SucccessFactors was an important step in ensuring we provide an engaging and supportive HR experience to all our employees around the world. Since our formation over 100 years ago, our workforce has remained at the heart of our business, and these cloud-based HCM solutions enable us to continue that legacy.”

Doohan required an HCM solution that enabled it to deliver consistent HR policies, processes and tools across borders and languages, as well as the ability to analyse data across key programs to ensure the right business outcomes. The company implemented the cloud-based SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting, Onboarding, Learning, Performance and Goals, and Compensation solutions, and integrated with the organisational management and personnel administration components of the on-premise SAP ERP HCM solution, across regions, industries and legal entities.
The company is also implementing the SAP SuccessFactors Workforce Analytics solution.

“We’re delighted to see Doosan achieve this milestone,” said Mike Ettling, president of SAP SuccessFactors. “While it’s exciting to announce new clients, the real value for them comes when they are live and fully implemented, with adoption across the business. Now Doosan can realise its objectives in transforming HR, and its 37,000 employees across the globe can benefit from a better experience at work and more powerful, intuitive tools to get their jobs done.”
