HR Insights From Lisbon: SAP SuccessConnect 2024
- SAP SuccessConnect 2024 was held from October 28-30 in Lisbon and reminded attendees of pre-pandemic HR tech events with a diverse range of perspectives, valuable discussions, and innovative solutions.
- The Lisbon Convention Centre was the venue for the event, and the team responsible for organizing this well-choreographed event was given a much-deserved shout out.
- The closing keynote was a conversation between Maryann Abbajay, SAP SuccessFactors' Chief Revenue Officer, and Amal Clooney, a lawyer and human rights advocate, reminding attendees of the importance of empathetic leadership and purpose.
- The author emphasized HR's focus on talent management, but Amal Clooney's closing discourse underscored that talent management is people management and all about humanity.
- One of the best strategies for supporting the workforce, preparing for the future, and achieving key business objectives is taking a skills-first strategy, which was the author's focus throughout the event.
- Finding solutions to address skills development as a significant component of professional development can contribute to engagement and retention, internal mobility, succession planning, team building, and a resilient talent management strategy.
- SAP's AI-powered Joule is one of the latest technological solutions designed explicitly to streamline employee management processes and optimize workforce management.
- The problem of cultural fit when it comes to AI assists was discussed, and Dan Beck, President and Chief Product Officer of SAP SuccessFactors, responded by stating getting cultural alignment is a complex problem. As global AI and large language models continue to evolve, there will be adaptations until AI is up to speed.
- The SAP SuccessFactors clients shared with attendees how they are applying solutions to their own challenges, and the event was really about showing how useful the technology can be when implemented correctly.
- Going forward, HR leaders need to continue to advocate for building, developing, and retaining a resilient workforce, and SAP SuccessConnect 2024 was an inspiring reminder of the importance of adopting strategies that enable the evolution of talent management at scale.

The workforce has a new top worry. Why wellbeing is key for the bottom line
- The competition for top talent is not subsiding, and as the workforce continues to place greater importance on work-life balance, the issue of employee wellbeing is taking centre stage.
- By creating work-life wellness programmes that work and seeing excellent results, about 79% of employees whose organisations have wellness programs said the HR department genuinely cares about them.
- The State of Work-Life Wellness 2025 shows today’s workforce is seeking a comprehensive suite of solutions that address their needs and aspirations.
- Work stress has become the leading cause of decreased mental wellness, while only about half of employees consider themselves to be in good physical shape, says the report.
- Some employers believe that having health insurance, access to mental health resources and perhaps sporadic opportunities for stress reduction are enough. However, today’s employees have a deeper, more nuanced vision of wellness.
- 83% of employees said they’d consider leaving their current employer due to a lack of focus on wellbeing, and 89% said that when seeking a job, they’ll only consider companies that prioritise employee wellbeing.
- Helping the workforce reduce stress and improve overall wellness is essential, as wellbeing is no longer a perk; it’s a must-have.
- The majority of employers are falling short, meaning that the majority of employees are ready to move to another organisation that provides what they’re looking for.
- When companies enact these programs, virtually all leaders who track return on investment say they find a positive ROI, and more than half said they get returns of more than 100%.
- Holistic wellness is key, as the more organizations do to provide a wide variety of resources to help team members improve, the more likely employees are to see substantial improvement, fuel productivity, and know they are adequately compensated.

rolling my eyes while giving feedback, company is forcing me to see their doctor to get prescription coverage, and more
- Rolling your eyes while giving feedback is incredibly rude and negative body language should be avoided even if the performance issues are unacceptable, not anything personal. Less than 20% of large companies in the U.S. cover weight loss drugs and half of those that do cover them are adding requirements to get them, as companies are trying to reduce the number of employees taking them due to their high costs. It's fine to skip the individual gift-giving role, and if the company pays for gift cards, the same amount should be given to everyone. Job searching can be tough emotionally, but knowing what's out there by gathering information is important in order to weigh current versus potential opportunities and make a decision.
- It's not unreasonable to expect someone to control unconscious body language such as rolling their eyes during feedback conversations, even for unacceptable performance issues. This is the norm and expected of both men and women. A company's refusal to deal with performance issues is a much bigger problem than any individual low-performer. For the 20% of large U.S. companies that cover weight-loss drugs like Mounjaro, half now have requirements such as seeing an online weight-loss doctor in order to cut costs. Though it's a boss's prerogative to give holiday gifts, it's important to keep the amounts the same for everyone, otherwise it seems odd and unreasonable. Job searching can be important and should be done to gather information about opportunities, even when it might be difficult emotionally.
- It is important to avoid negative body language while providing feedback to colleagues, even if their performance is unacceptable. This is a reasonable expectation regardless of gender. Companies are trimming health coverage costs by increasing requirements for weight loss medications. Half of the companies that have coverage for weight loss drugs have started implementing these requirements. One should consider whether a gift-giving tradition started by a former boss should be continued or not. It is acceptable to decide not to participate in the tradition. Job searching can be a challenging and daunting task but gathering information about opportunities and companies is important before making a decision.
- Expressing negative body language, such as rolling one's eyes, during critical feedback conversations is not acceptable. Furthermore, it is not necessary, nor wise, for a man to display politeness in these situations. Companies are cutting coverage costs by including additional requirements for weight-loss medications. Over half of companies that provide coverage for such medications have added these requirements. Gift giving is optional, and should it continue, it is important to give everyone the same amount. It may be daunting, but it is important to job search in order to collect information, especially if one's work environment is challenging.
- It's important to control negative body language even when providing critical feedback, as it is essential to establish a respectful tone. Employers are adding requirements, like seeing a weight-loss doctor, to reduce costs of coverage on expensive weight-loss medications. Gift-giving responsibility should be taken over by the new boss, however, others may decide to skip this tradition. It's important to consider other job opportunities in order to make the best decision about one's career. Confronting the fear of job hunting and monitoring different prospects can be helpful.
