Case Study: Terex achieves unified HR and improved diversity with SAP SuccessFactors

Terex Unifying HR and Engaging Employees to Build a Manufacturing Business Beyond Bias

Terex, a global heavy-equipment manufacturer, faced a male‑dominated talent pipeline, fragmented HR data, and time‑consuming manual processes that hindered diversity, inclusion, and succession planning. To standardize talent management and support hiring, development, and retention goals, Terex adopted SAP SuccessFactors solutions—including Recruiting, Onboarding, Performance & Goals, Compensation, Learning, and Succession & Development—as its central Terex Talent Management System (TTMS).

Using SAP SuccessFactors, Terex implemented real‑time employee profiles, self‑service manager tools, inclusive career-site content, instant nine‑box talent assessments, and enterprise learning and mentorship capabilities. The result: more effective performance reviews and succession planning, 100% adoption of SAP SuccessFactors Learning, women in leadership at 16.5% (with a 21.5% goal for 2023), roughly $1 million projected savings over five years from Recruiting, 30% of the workforce covered by nine‑box assessments (≈3,300 people), and 50 mentors recruited in the pilot—demonstrating measurable gains in efficiency, diversity, and cost savings with SAP SuccessFactors.
