Case Study: Sun‑Rype achieves 100% on‑time performance reviews and reduces turnover from 20% to 4% with Saba

Sun-Rype's talent management solution yields fruitful results

Sun-Rype Products Ltd., a 64‑year‑old Canadian juice and fruit snack maker based in Kelowna with roughly 400 employees and about $150M in annual sales, lacked a formal performance management or pay‑for‑performance system when HR leadership identified the need to boost productivity, accountability and engagement. A prior paper‑heavy consultant solution failed to gain traction, and with limited IT resources and budget the company needed a simple, manager‑owned, flexible tool to align individual goals to strategy and drive timely reviews.

Sun‑Rype implemented Halogen Performance quickly and saw rapid gains: review completion rose from 35% (2007) to 93% in 2009 and 100% in 2010, turnover dropped from 20% to 4%, 64% of leadership roles are now filled internally, and the company realized an estimated $85,000 in first‑year savings. The platform increased manager accountability, improved employee engagement and culture, and enabled ongoing goal alignment and career development across the organization.
