Atlantic Health uses SuccessFactors Performance and Talent Management Suite

Sep 3 2009

SuccessFactors, Inc. (Nasdaq: SFSF), the global leader in on-demand performance and talent management solutions, announced today that Atlantic Health, which was recently named by FORTUNE as one of the "100 Best Companies To Work For," is using SuccessFactors Performance and Talent Management Suite to help improve overall business performance by aligning employee performance goals with overall company goals, and streamline its talent management processes.

Using SuccessFactors' Performance, Goal Planning and Succession Planning solutions, Atlantic Health has been able to further its commitment to creating and keeping successful, happy employees by making the performance reviews process easier, more constructive and more meaningful, by allowing each manager's goals to be easily tied into overall organizational goals. Atlantic Health sets its annual system-wide and site goals, which are then displayed in SuccessFactors, so managers and directors can use them to create individual performance goals and ensure the company can bridge the strategy and execution gap between its workforce and overall business plans. SuccessFactors' easy-to-use interface, writing assistant and automatic scoring also reduce the pain of the performance review process for employees and managers. Using SuccessFactors, in concert with Atlantic Health, dedication to developing and retaining quality employees has resulted in an increase in engagement and retention, and a reduction in turnover.

"We want to be a workplace where people want to work - we focus on that every day," said Lynn Turner, Director Human Resources & Organization Development at Atlantic Health. "We live by our mission, our vision and our values. All of our programs and policies tie back to those goals, so it's vital that they're closely tied into the development of each individual employee. We want to continue to be a great healthcare provider and we want to continue to treat every patient as if it were our own mother, father or child, and the best way to do that is to build it into every part of how we train and evaluate people."

"With all the moving parts healthcare companies have, proper execution and alignment are so important to their success," said Lars Dalgaard, SuccessFactors CEO. "SuccessFactors gives healthcare companies another tool in their arsenals to make sure they are executing properly toward common goals across all parts of their businesses, and keeping their employees happy and motivated by giving them the essential direction they need."

The SuccessFactors Performance and Talent Management Suite includes Performance Management, Goal Management, 360 Degree Reviews, Succession Management, Compensation Management, Learning and Development, Recruiting Management, Employee Profile, and Analytics and Reporting applications. By providing deep, 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 entire employee base. The company's latest module, Employee Central, allows organizations to maintain centralized employee information with deeply integrated social networking and collaboration, giving employees, managers and executives a single, real-time hub to have a more complete picture of their people.
