Case Study: Al Ghurair Real Estate achieves streamlined HR, 80% faster hiring, and automated visa management with SAP SuccessFactors

How Can an Employer in Dubai Real Estate Help Foreign and Native Workers Thrive

Al Ghurair Real Estate, a Dubai-based subsidiary of Al Ghurair Group with about 400 employees from 40 nationalities, needed to modernize HR to help foreign and native workers transition smoothly and to streamline the entire employee lifecycle — from recruitment and development to visas and permits. To achieve a more modern, accessible employee experience, Al Ghurair Real Estate turned to SAP SuccessFactors, deploying solutions such as the SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite, Visa and Permits Management, and the SAP SuccessFactors Mobile app.

By implementing SAP SuccessFactors, Al Ghurair Real Estate replaced multiple aging on‑premise systems with a single cloud HR platform, cutting total cost of ownership and automating processes that cut recruitment time by 80% and automated more than 80% of visa and permits administration. SAP SuccessFactors also enabled employees to track visa status and receive expiry alerts, gave HR visibility into visa and medical costs by department, improved data security and policy management, and delivered anytime, anywhere access that raised engagement and simplified HR operations.
