How Sunderland Council is transforming HR process approvals using Microsoft Teams

In a landscape where local councils face increasing pressure to deliver efficient services within tight budgets, Sunderland City Council stands out as a beacon of innovation. This exclusive webinar will delve into how the Council is revolutionising its HR and Payroll processes to achieve substantial efficiency gains.

Sunderland City Council, in collaboration with Arch, has embarked on a remarkable journey of continuous improvement. The Council has already realised a 30% reduction in manual processes through the automation of HR correspondence. Building on this success, it is now extending critical HR approval processes from SAP ECC into Microsoft Teams, streamlining Time Related Payments (Overtime), Leave Requests, and Expense Claims.

A key highlight of this transformation is the co-innovation of Looply, a cutting-edge platform designed to extend SAP notification and approval workflows into Microsoft Teams. This integration allows managers to handle approvals directly within Teams, simplifying workflows and enhancing productivity without the need for large-scale implementations of SAP S/4HANA or SuccessFactors Employee Central.

During this webinar, Sunderland Council will offer an in-depth look at its transformative journey. Attendees will witness live demonstrations of the new HR processes, showcasing how the Council is leveraging automation and digitalisation to achieve significant improvements. Additionally, the session will provide a comprehensive overview of Looply’s integration with SAP workflows, illustrating the seamless flow of data between SAP and Microsoft Teams.

Join us to discover how Sunderland Council is overcoming budget constraints to drive HR process efficiency and to explore their future plans for further automation and digitisation using Arch’s innovative product suite.
