Excerpt from the interview in ITWELT: A look into the future of HR with Wolf Theiss
What does the future of HR look like? We asked Marcus Oehlzand, Chief Human Resources Officer at Wolf Theiss, and also discussed the impulses coming from our joint SuccessFactors project.
Wolf Theiss made a conscious decision to realign its HR function: moving away from time consuming administrative tasks toward a role that operates data driven and actively supports strategic decision making. The goal was to standardize processes, increase transparency, and create a modern, user friendly platform.
Technology and artificial intelligence play a central role in shaping a modern HR department. AI takes over repetitive tasks, identifies patterns in large data sets, and creates new opportunities for HR teams to act proactively. This requires a reliable data foundation and the understanding that AI complements people rather than replaces them.
With SAP SuccessFactors, Wolf Theiss chose a solution that covers all relevant HR processes and reflects the firm’s international structure. The result is a consistent data landscape that enables real time transparency, improved decision making, and a unified employee experience across 13 countries. ORBIS Austria supports Wolf Theiss as a strategic partner – bringing expertise, a deep understanding of the HR roadmap, and a trusted, collaborative approach.
