Execution Gap

In addition to the difficult macro-economic conditions of 2009, the company also struggled with a history of inconsistent employee performance. In order to address these issues, as well as develop a more modern, design-conscious image, they needed to address the following challenges:

  • Employee goals were not aligned with corporate objectives
  • Performance reviews were irregular
  • No centralized employee performance tracking system

SuccessFactors Solution

AMD turned to SuccessFactors for a solution to communicate unified goals and measure employee performance. They initially selected the SuccessFactors core modules, Performance Management and Goal Management, but quickly added Calibration, Career & Development Planning, Succession Planning and 360 Degree Reviews. Using these modules, AMD was able to:

  • Align individual goals with corporate strategy
  • Hold employees accountable by measuring performance on goals
  • Establish an overall career development plan to increase productivity

Business Results

AMD implemented SuccessFactors and realized the following business results:

  • Employees are engaged and able to focus on the right things to ensure the company’s success
  • 97% of AMD’s workforce is tracked in the centralized Performance Management system
  • The organization runs more efficiently with more time to keep up with tech trends and improve product offerings
