“We are excited to honor SAP for its accomplishments and leadership,” HRO Today CEO Elliot Clark said. “At this point in the evolution of HR, I believe the impact of its contributions cannot be overstated. HR professionals are relied upon to contribute to the bottom line, and they create building blocks that drive the direction of their companies for years to come. Employee engagement and culture are more important than ever before, and HR is advancing these areas at many organizations across the globe.”
