Case Study: GROWMARK achieves streamlined HR operations and agile COVID-19 response with SAP SuccessFactors

Supporting a Widely Distributed Workforce That Helps Farming Businesses Thrive

GROWMARK, a cooperative serving farming businesses across the United States and Canada, faced the challenge of managing a geographically dispersed workforce and replacing paper-based, manual HR tasks with a centralized, visible, and automated HR platform. To address recruiting, talent management, performance, compensation, payroll, learning and COVID-19 tracking needs, GROWMARK has used SAP SuccessFactors solutions since 2011.

SAP SuccessFactors delivered an integrated, extensible cloud HR suite—including Recruiting; Performance & Goals; Succession & Development; Compensation; Employee Central and Payroll; People Analytics; and Learning—plus a rapid extension for COVID-19 reporting and vaccine-status tracking. The deployment cut paper use for learning surveys by 100%, enabled creation of a COVID-19 monitoring module in under a day, reduced administrative time and costs, improved decision-making with real-time employee data, and supported agile staff planning and business continuity during the pandemic.
