WALLDORF — SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) today announced that Dr. Steve Hunt, senior vice president of human capital management (HCM) research at SAP SuccessFactors, has been named a fellow by the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP).
This prestigious honor is in recognition of Dr. Hunt’s outstanding accomplishments in industrial and organizational psychology and his contributions to the advancement of using psychological knowledge to improve the world of work.
Dr. Hunt pioneered the application of technology to improve human capital management. His career has elevated and advanced the use of technology in industrial and organizational psychology and human resource management. This work has enabled the widespread application of evidence-based psychological theories and methods to support workforce staffing, management and development. Dr. Hunt leads the SAP SuccessFactors HCM Research team, a group of psychologists who study the use of cloud technology to positively influence workforce behavior and talent management decisions. Their work informs the design of SAP SuccessFactors solutions and supports SAP SuccessFactors customers to improve workforce engagement, development, agility and well-being.
“While we are a technology company, people are at the core of everything we do in our business, particularly as we look to address how people use the technology we build to improve their experience at work,” SAP SuccessFactors President Greg Tomb said. “Psychology has for years played a critical role in how we develop technology that is truly designed for people, and we are proud to have Steve on our team, helping us to push the envelope on how we can implement his team’s findings and recommendations in our solutions. I know I speak for all of us at SAP as I take this opportunity to congratulate Steve on this impressive accomplishment.”
Dr. Hunt has played a pivotal role in the design and deployment of HCM technology systems used by more than 6,000 organizations around the globe, including many of the largest companies in the world. These systems have influenced the careers of millions of employees at all levels and stages of their careers.
