SAP reviews

Too many bully tactics used by leadership. Leaders who yell at, use high-pressure communication, can't be acceptable. Beating the drum harding may get the result- but kill the engagement, and impact customers directly. Still way too little diversity - and that goes for style as well as race/gender. Need to make "autocratic command and control" tactics unacceptable instead of rewarding with promotions. We need "leaders of the future" - why are our most motivational leaders leaving, or being shown the door? people will follow and go above and beyond for leaders who empower them and provide a real vision based on a true knowledge and passion for the field. Recent changes in leadership in HR Cloud business is right out of the "old SAP model" - quickly dissipating energy and motivation of very talented people. Everyone has their head down to stay out of the way. NOT the culture we want. - Career options: I cannot tell you how many "Fast Track" employees have applied for jobs internally, and never even gotten a response. We totally should be handling internal applicants differently- any time a "Fast Track/High Performing Employee" applies for a job internally - the golden glove should come out. Why are they looking to move? is there an issue? this is data that should trigger a response by management - not just recruiting. It should include a coaching session to understand what they are looking to do, the full context, and then actively look for a role for them. YES - a high-performing employee should have an advantage, AND research says they cost less, and add more value. Why aren't we leveraging this? In the last 2 years, way too many talented people I know left because there was "nothing" here for them. They couldn't find a job internally - and we make it way too hard to make a lateral move without sacrificing compensation. This is a real opportunity for us to figure this out because this is the way of the future workforce.

Internal politics appear everywhere Inconsistencies on plans and "flavor of the month" focus on projects. You will get tasked with something you have no qualifications for, and you will be expected to work beyond normal work hours. Career opportunities often get blocked internally because internal job applications are required to go through your manager.
