Whirlpool would use SuccessFactors’s on-demand software to standardize and streamline its global performance management practices, create an effective succession and goal management strategy, and develop a competency assessment and development program to help employees grow and succeed.

Michael Barron, director, organizational development for Whirlpool, said: SuccessFactors will help us strengthen the culture of performance at our company where our employees and managers own and control their own career paths, development and success.

Paul Albright, CMO for SuccessFactors, said: By providing a clear, broad overview of its talent pool, SuccessFactors will help make a difference in how Whirlpool views and values its workforce, as well as in the company’s overall performance.
