Keeping tabs on the data of all employees worldwide

There can be no digitalization without sensors, so market developments are dynamic as a result. Sensirion, one of the pioneers in sensor technology, has very much embodied this spirit of dynamism and has expanded continuously since it was founded more than 20 years ago. The company produces sensors for almost all sectors – especially the automotive industry, medical and environmental technology and the consumer goods industry – all round the globe. This sensor specialist, based in Stäfa near Zurich, therefore now has branches worldwide, including in the USA, China, Japan, Taiwan and South Korea. The company’s global presence requires an easy-to-operate, reliable master data management system that takes account of the data protection legislation and labor law provisions in each individual country.

Since agility and dynamism are very much in Sensirion’s DNA, it was important that both the service provider and the HR management system to be rolled out also embodied these values. In other words, speed and flexibility were key requirements for the implementation – qualities that the tts team has in spades. The Sensirion managers were therefore not only amenable to the tts offer to implement SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central in just four weeks – they actively welcomed it. It is the tts QuickStart solution that makes this rapid implementation possible. Sensirion was able to use the preconfigured standard processes to test the system at a fixed price. Furthermore, thanks to the comprehensive admin training provided, the company was itself able to adapt individual processes in line with its needs.

The Sensirion HR team can use the Employee Central module to keep tabs on the data of all employees worldwide. Soon after the module had been supplied, there was already a new and palpable sense of dynamism, since many processes run more quickly and easily. The system now performs routine tasks that were previously very time-consuming. This time saving is not the only benefit, however – the solution also scores in terms of security and compliance. After all, Sensirion needs to pay attention to and comply with the applicable labor law regulations, tax laws, working time directives and data protection requirements in each of the countries in which it operates. The new system creates transparency that enables each country to manage its data in compliance with the local legislation and regulations.

Now that stable master data management and global compliance are firmly in place, Sensirion has the basis it wants to continue building. Two items on the list are onboarding and talent management, with the aim of bringing the necessary drive to the recruitment process – this is important to Sensirion. After all, Sensirion was crowned best employer in Switzerland in the “Large companies with more than 250 employees” category of the awards organized by the “Great Place to Work” international research and consultancy institute in 2021. The company has certainly not lost any of its appeal since then – and tts would like to play its part in keeping things that way in the future, too.
