Case Study: Pedernales Electric Cooperative achieves faster hiring and better talent management with SAP SuccessFactors

Solving a Retiree Dilemma with SAP SuccessFactors Solutions

Pedernales Electric Cooperative faced a talent crisis as a large cohort of long‑serving employees neared retirement while membership and service demands grew. To replace retiring workers and modernize HR, Pedernales Electric Cooperative turned to SAP SuccessFactors, implementing SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central and additional talent modules to replace disparate, outdated recruiting, performance, compensation, and training systems.

Working with partner Aasonn, SAP SuccessFactors deployed Employee Central as the HR core and added Recruiting, Learning, Performance & Goals, and Compensation to streamline workflows. The result: recruiting cycles shrank to about two weeks instead of months, managers gained real‑time visibility into the workforce, tracking of performance and training improved, and compensation planning became more efficient and accurate — demonstrating clear operational and talent‑management gains from SAP SuccessFactors.
