In SuccessFactors, "Foundation Objects" refer to fundamental entities that serve as building blocks for

various HR processes and modules within the platform. These objects capture essential data about
employees, positions, organizational structures, and other key elements of the workforce. They form the
basis for configuring and customizing the SuccessFactors system to meet the specific needs of an
organization.

Here are some of the foundational objects commonly used in SuccessFactors:

1. **Employee Central (EC)**:
