Case Study: Idorsia Pharmaceuticals achieves streamlined global talent management and increased employee engagement with SAP SuccessFactors

How Can a Biotech Startup Transform Patient Treatments with Smart Talent Management

Idorsia Pharmaceuticals Ltd, a fast-growing biotech based in Allschwil, Switzerland, needed to support and scale its people-focused strategy with advanced but simple HR technology to attract and retain talent as it developed pioneering medicines. To address this challenge, Idorsia partnered with Gaius HR to implement SAP SuccessFactors solutions—integrated with SAP S/4HANA and SAP Concur—as the core of a forward-looking cloud HR platform.

Using SAP SuccessFactors, Idorsia rolled out streamlined HR processes for more than 750 professionals across Switzerland, the United States, Japan, China, and Germany, increased employee engagement with self-service tools and an intuitive mobile app, and simplified recruitment via a job application portal on its website. The SAP SuccessFactors-based, tightly integrated platform also ensured data- and industry-specific compliance, unlocked new business insights, and delivered a seamless digital employee experience to help Idorsia attract and retain the talent needed to advance its therapeutic programs.
