On February 20, 2025, our LinkedIn Live session brought together HR leaders, Total Rewards professionals, and SuccessFactors users for an insightful discussion about the evolution of Total Rewards, its growing importance, and how partnerships can drive real business value. Hosted by industry experts, including Brian Christian from Omnia Partnerships and Ilija Kiroski from Semos Cloud, the session provided valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities facing HR teams today. The Shift in Total rewards Brian highlighted how Total Rewards has evolved from a “nice-to-have” to a “must-have” business strategy. With 83% of organizations facing challenges in attracting and retaining top talent, and 57% of employees willing to leave for better rewards and recognition, businesses must rethink their Total Rewards strategies to stay competitive. Total Rewards today is no longer just about competitive salaries but about the entire employee experience—recognition, career growth, well-being, and engagement. The Importance of Recognition and Personalization The discussion delved into how personalized, meaningful, and data-driven Total Rewards programs are becoming essential to employee engagement. Employees are no longer satisfied with rigid, one-size-fits-all reward models. Brian shared his own experience using SAP SuccessFactors’ solutions to foster engagement, break silos, and build relationships across teams. He emphasized that recognition, whether monetary or non-monetary, plays a crucial role in boosting employee morale and retention. The Role of Technology and Partnerships A major theme of the session was the importance of partnerships in delivering cutting-edge HR solutions. Omnia Partnerships and Semos Cloud solutions complement SAP SuccessFactors by enhancing Total Rewards strategies with best-in-class, customizable tools. Brian emphasized that by leveraging the SAP BTP platform, these solutions offer seamless integration, top-notch data security, and scalability to meet the needs of large enterprises. Data Security and Compliance In the age of digital HR, safeguarding employee data, especially when dealing with sensitive information like payroll and compensation, is critical. The session underscored the importance of data security and compliance. Both Omnia and Semos Cloud solutions are built with the highest standards of security, including GDPR compliance and premium certifications, ensuring that businesses can confidently handle sensitive employee data while adhering to strict regulatory standards. The Power of Strategic Alignment The partnership between Omnia, Simos Cloud, and SAP demonstrates how strategic alignment and technology adoption can provide tremendous value to organizations. By building solutions that are not only aligned with SAP’s roadmap but also certified for seamless integration, both partners ensure that businesses stay ahead of the curve in terms of HR innovations and best practices. “Streaming now on LinkedIn—join the conversation!” Watch Linkedin Live Final Thoughts As Brian aptly put it, “Total Rewards isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity.” Organizations that want to attract, engage, and retain top talent must look beyond just salaries and embrace a holistic Total Rewards strategy.
