WAYNE, PA--(Marketwire - August 13, 2010) - Kenexa (
SAP, the world's leading provider of business software, aims to be the market leader for business process platform solutions and accelerate IT/business innovation for industries worldwide. SAP considers its workforce as its most important asset and recognizes that committed, passionate and highly skilled employees are the key to success -- both today and in the future.
"The value we place on our workforce provides a clear mission for the HR department. This mission is realized by designing and implementing high-quality HR processes and solutions," Dr. Schmeichel said. "A continuous improvement approach to allow for a best-in-class, lean HR function while also being the role model for technology-enabled HR management is seen as a critical success factor."
During his interactive session, "Lean HR @ SAP: Transforming an HR Organization by Applying Lean Management Principles," Dr. Schmeichel will share his experiences on moving to a process-based HR organization at SAP by applying Lean Management principles. Comprised of three sections, the presentation will explore key elements of a process-based as-is analysis explicitly considering the "Voice of the Customer," the development of an HR master plan including a to-be process portfolio, and finally the successful implementation of the various transformation activities based on consequent cost tracking.
The fifth annual Kenexa World Conference promises to transform HR through outliers, helping organizations move beyond potential to drive business performance. To reveal true human potential to improve business results, companies must identify and nurture high performers and create the right environment for them to thrive. Attendees of the conference will come to understand how the right individuals in the right environment lead to ultimate success.
The 2010 Kenexa World Conference will be held at The Sheraton Society Hill Hotel, One Dock Street, Philadelphia, Pa. For more information or to register, visit www.kenexa.com.
