 Introduction to SAP HR

In today’s fast-paced business environment, managing employees efficiently is critical. That’s where SAP HR (Human Resources)—also known as SAP HCM (Human Capital Management)—comes into play[RJ1] .

SAP HR is a comprehensive software system used by thousands of companies worldwide to manage every aspect of the employee lifecycle, from hiring and payroll to training and performance.
