Platform / SuccessFactors

Your governance, your data. Our intelligence.

SuccessFactors holds your workforce data, org structure, and years of configured governance. Gloat agents put it to work—building succession pipelines, catching flight risks, coaching careers—delivered where your people already are.

The reality for most SuccessFactors customers

SuccessFactors captures the data. It runs the transactions. But data sitting in a system of record doesn't prevent attrition, fill critical roles faster, or coach employees through transitions.

01 Once/year

Succession reviews

Annual calibration cycles. By the time data is reviewed, top talent has already moved on.

02 Too late

Flight risk visibility

Attrition signals exist in the data but nothing monitors them continuously. You learn when they resign.

03 At review time

Career conversations

Development discussions happen on a schedule, not when employees need them. The best don’t wait.

04 Manual

Redeployment matching

Restructuring relies on spreadsheets and memory. Good people end up on severance lists while matching roles sit open.

What if your SuccessFactors data acted on itself?

Intelligent agents that read your SuccessFactors data, respect your governance, and act—before problems become crises.

CHALLENGE

Succession reviews happen once a year

TODAY

By calibration time, two high-potentials have left. Critical roles sit open for months.

WITH GLOAT

Agents monitor readiness daily. When a role opens, you know who's ready—and who needs three months of development.

CHALLENGE

Flight risk surfaces too late

TODAY

You learn someone's leaving when they resign. Exit interviews reveal fixable problems.

WITH GLOAT

Agents detect disengagement weeks early. Managers get nudges while there's still time to act.

CHALLENGE

Career conversations wait for reviews

TODAY

Employees hear about growth annually. The best don't wait—they find opportunities elsewhere.

WITH GLOAT

Every employee gets an always-on career coach. Opportunities surface in the moment, not on a schedule.

CHALLENGE

Restructuring loses talent

TODAY

Good people land on severance lists because matching is manual and slow.

WITH GLOAT

Agents match displaced employees to open roles in hours. Talent stays. Severance costs drop.

Governance

Years of configuration. Now it powers agents.

Your SuccessFactors environment isn't just data. It's years of decisions—approval chains, permissions, business rules, eligibility criteria. Gloat agents read this configuration and operate within it. No shadow processes. No end-runs.

Approval workflows

Promotions, transfers, compensation changes—each has approval chains you've configured over years. Agents inherit them. Every recommendation respects your routing rules.

Permission boundaries

Your SuccessFactors role-based permissions define who sees what. Agents honor them. Managers see their teams. Employees see their own data. No exceptions.

Business rules

Eligibility criteria, waiting periods, geographic constraints—all captured in SuccessFactors. Agents read them. Recommendations comply automatically.

FAQ

Questions we hear

We've invested heavily in SuccessFactors. Why add Gloat?

SuccessFactors stores data, runs transactions, ensures compliance. It does that well. But data sitting in a system of record doesn't prevent attrition or fill critical roles faster. Gloat agents read SuccessFactors data, monitor signals continuously, and take action—delivered where employees already work.

What about Joule?

Joule answers questions and helps run SuccessFactors transactions. Gloat agents do something different: they work autonomously, monitoring signals around the clock and acting without being asked. Joule helps you use SuccessFactors better. Gloat agents solve workforce problems. They're complementary.

How do agents respect our governance?

Agents read your SuccessFactors configuration—approval workflows, role-based permissions, business rules, eligibility criteria. Every recommendation respects the governance you've built. No bypassing. No shadow processes.

How fast can we see results?

Most customers see impact within 90 days. SuccessFactors integration takes 1-2 weeks. Agent configuration takes 4-6 weeks. Then you're live. Start with Succession or Retention, expand from there.

What does this mean for HR?

Your team stops chasing data and starts acting on insights. Instead of annual succession reviews, real-time recommendations. Instead of reacting to resignations, getting ahead of them. Agents monitor; your team decides.

Can we start with one use case?

Yes. Most customers do. Pick what matters most: succession gaps in critical roles, retention in a high-risk group, mobility for a specific population. Prove value there, then expand. The same SuccessFactors integration powers all agents.
