According to research, a large portion of employees spend one hour of their working day on social media. Here we have a recommendation for companies. Companies can make this one-hour period their employees spend on social media more productive by using "Jam," the most outward-facing module of SAP SuccessFactors. Jam is a modern intranet that brings managers and employees together on a common platform. This way, everyone within the company can follow one another, make posts, take an active role in groups and easily access shared documents. Of course, all of this happens within the authorization setup.
- Companies with employees in different locations can communicate with one another quickly thanks to Jam.
- Through Jam, as on other social-media accounts, users can follow colleagues, groups opened around their interests and posts, and have notifications about the groups they are members of sent to them by email. They can also prepare videos using their computers' webcam and share these videos with colleagues over Jam. This way they can keep up with developments in both daily and business life. Like all SuccessFactors modules, Jam has intuitive screens. So anyone who uses Facebook, Twitter or Instagram can adapt to "Jam" in a short time.
- When employees or managers research a topic, they can reach all posts over Jam thanks to the keyword they type into the search button. Through this section they can follow new and updated articles. For example, field employees can reach the phone number of a person they want to contact in an emergency with search help.
- In addition, SAP Jam has integration with MS Office programs. This lets employees or managers revise a Word, Excel, etc. document online from a computer or on the mobile platform.
- SAP Jam has integration with the Learning and Onboarding module. Therefore, a training can be created and this training and post-training activities can be tracked over Jam.
- HR Admin users can see which user logged into Jam at what time, how long they spent on Jam and what they shared. This way HR users can report how actively Jam is used within the organization.
