In 2015, SAP hired 100 people with autism and has committed to hiring 1% of its global workforce from the autism spectrum by 2020. A dedicated office has been established, running operations in seven countries and plans for growth in many more locations in 2016. The dedicated SAP autism team realized very early on that, to hire individuals with autism, they had to personalize the candidate experience beyond SAP’s normal process. At a high level, this involved administering candidate baseline and team dynamics assessments, working with individual employees to develop individual learning profiles, competence assessment profiles, and developing long-term success business plans. The initiative earned a Silver Award for in the 2016 Brandon Hall Group HCM Excellence Awards.
