How to optimize your workforce productivity using SuccessFactors Mobile
The ability to access information anytime and anywhere plays a significant role in our society and organizations. Most everyone owns a mobile device and, taking that even further, a smartphone. Mobile devices give us access to an unlimited amount of data, right from the convenience of our fingertips. It’s also an easy way for us to stay connected to others around the globe.
Enhanced workforce productivity is another benefit of mobile devices because the technology allows for increased access to employees who may be on the go and improves overall responsiveness.
SuccessFactors recognizes the significance of mobility and the impact it has on workforce productivity. SuccessFactors Mobile provides on-demand access to many of the same features and functionality of its web application. With seamless navigation and a personalized experience across any channel, employees and managers can stay connected and perform tasks with ease.
The SuccessFactors mobile app offers basic features such as Approvals and Tasks, My Profile, Manager Team View, and Search and Org Chart.
