Sugar mill to squeeze gains from HR tool

AUSTIN, US: StepStone Solutions has announced that Grupo Azucarero Mexico (GAM) will begin the implementation of a fully integrated StepStone Solutions Talent Management system for its sugar mills and corporate office to support GAM’s business strategy and plans for continued growth.

Grupo Azucarero Mexico is a major industrial food company dedicated to the production and commercialization of sugar cane and its derivatives

The sugar cane industry lags behind in many key business processes and technology is not widely used,” says Humberto López, HR Director from Grupo Azucarero Mexico. “The use of StepStone Solutions’ integrated talent management is fundamental to supporting a Human Resources strategy aimed at creating a results oriented organization that supports business growth, that develops our people skills to make them multifunctional, and starts developing our talent pipeline.”

StepStone Solutions' platform will support GAM in better planning, managing and evaluating employees’ performance, putting appropriate career development plans in place, and building a talent pool. This move away from manual processes into a dynamic, interactive web-based talent environment will empower the employees to take more control over their careers and positively contribute to achieving corporate goals.

Grupo Azucarero Mexico has licensed the complete range of StepStone Solutions Talent Management modules to provide information to all management levels for talent management and HR planning in its various locations in southeast Mexico. The implementation includes modules for Human Resources, Performance Management, Skills & Competency Management, Training and Development Management, Career & Succession Planning and Reporting.
