FC Bayern elevates their HR strategy with SAP SuccessFactors and AI-enabled recruiting

Key to FC Bayern’s global success is not only the players, but also the more than 1,000 employees in Munich, New York, and Shanghai. The historically grown, time-consuming and manual HR processes dominated by spreadsheets were labour intensive, leaving little time for other tasks and for HR reports to be generated efficiently. There was limited ability for employees to access their personnel data securely from anywhere and on any device, nor ability for self-service options for employees, managers, and HR admins.
