context & goals

The L'Occitane Group, a prominent player in the cosmetics industry, operates in over 90 countries with a diverse portfolio of brands. With over 9,000 employees, managing a global workforce presents a substantial challenge.

Xavier Meulemans joined the Group to lead the establishment of a global HR department. Recognizing the need for a centralized HR information system, Xavier Meulemans spearheaded the implementation of an appropriate HRIS.

After a thorough analysis of available solutions, SAP SuccessFactors emerged as the ideal choice due to its modular nature, comprehensive functional coverage, and user-friendly interface compatible with various devices.

A key aspect of the deployment strategy focused on change management, ensuring user adoption and a successful rollout. The current focus is on simplifying managerial tasks and promoting best practices across all countries.
