Universal Technical Institute Selects SuccessFactors' Mid-Market Solution for Its 2,100 Employees
"UTI's executive team recognizes the important influence an effective talent management process can have on both the workplace environment as well as overall business success," said Tom Riggs, senior vice president of People Services at UTI. "Over the past two years we've utilized Lominger, a SuccessFactors partner and provider of the Leadership Architect suite, as the backbone for our interview, performance management and succession planning efforts. After evaluating SuccessFactors, it was evident that their technology solution would help take our effectiveness to new heights."
Companies like UTI find that SuccessFactors' offerings compliment existing practices, are quick to implement and, over time, successfully support the company-wide objectives. SuccessFactors' SMB offerings, Professional Edition and SuccessPractices, are designed specifically for organizations with up to 2,500 employees, bringing enterprise class best practices to small and mid-sized businesses. By providing real-time, company-wide visibility into such critical performance data, companies are able to make better, more informed decisions about how to promote, recruit, compensate, reward and manage their employee base.
"We have a passionate, talented and highly engaged workforce at UTI. Implementing SuccessFactors was the next logical step in helping maximize the success of our people and organization as we strive to build a great place to work," continued Riggs. "Specifically, SuccessFactors is going to significantly bolster our efforts around alignment, goal setting and cascading, performance management and ultimately succession planning. We see the SuccessFactors solution as a critical component of world class people outcomes."
"SuccessFactors provides the tools to bring a sense of unity and communication to organizations that are spread across numerous locations, and as a result fosters a productive, vision-driven workforce," said Paul Albright, chief marketing officer and general manager of SMB for SuccessFactors. "It's important for mid-market companies like UTI to facilitate the growth, development and retention of top employees, and we're committed to providing them with the necessary solutions that are flexible to implement and translate into immediate benefits."
