Case Study: Takween Advanced Industries achieves HR transformation and higher employee engagement with SAP SuccessFactors

How Do You Engage Employees to Drive Business Transformation from the Bottom Up

Takween Advanced Industries, a Saudi manufacturer of food- and medical‑grade plastic packaging and nonwoven fabrics, needed to shift HR from an administrative function to a strategic business partner to engage a multicultural workforce and support a wider business transformation. To modernize HR and give employees more ownership of their data, Takween selected SAP SuccessFactors (implemented with partner Gavdi Group), deploying Employee Central, the SAP SuccessFactors Mobile app, Recruiting, and Performance & Goals.

SAP SuccessFactors delivered a cloud HR suite that replaced 24 paper forms with one system of record, enabled self‑service access to employee data and org charts, and digitalized recruiting and performance management. The implementation reduced HR‑issue emails by more than 70%, boosted people efficiency by 10%, cut administrative burden, standardized HR processes, and measurably increased employee engagement and transparency across the company.
