Innovative HCM curriculum in Singapore

In February/March 2012 Prof. Christine Koh and Prof. Bernd Heesen were co-teaching the course "HR Technologies, Metrics and Performance Management" at the Nanyang Business School in Singapore. The course was one of the first to leverage the SAP HCM solution in conjunction with SAP Employee Self-Service and SAP Manager Self-Service using the SAP Portal web access. The technology was provided by the University Competency Center at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in Brisbane/Australia.

The course covers the business processes performed by the HR-Specialist (HR department) as well as the business processes performend by employees (e.g. update personal data and qualifications, enroll in training, display pay stub...) , by applicants (e.g. maitain applicant data, link application to vacancy, upload resume...), and line managers (execute performance appraisal, approve pay raise or leave...). In todays world much of the administrative workload is split between these HCM stakeholders and consequently the IT systems should be suited to support all of them equally well.
